They got no answer for the Diesel or Wade.

Shaq is just purely abusing Big Ben so bad, I actually feel bad for Big Ben. Shaq is just backing him down, even did a spin on him for a reverse dunk!!! Sorry, but Big Ben needs help and that's going to leave Udonis open and he's been hitting the open shots, but also it'll leave the Heat to crash the boards and win the rebounds.

And Wade, man fucking amazing. Wade is just much too fast for Prince or Rip.

Shaq's a handful as it is, but when you add Wade too, well the Pistons just don't have any answer.

Also, I heard Billups talk and he's been praising the Heat saying they are playing "great basketball".

If you know Chauncey, he's a cocky little guy who gives very little credit(usually none), so it was quite shocking for him to give such high praise to the Heat. I think he's being humbled and probably knows that the Pistons are done.

Plus there's rumors of inhouse mutiny, players questioning Flip's strategy.

That is a sure sign of desperation and a team self-destructing.

i think it is partly the coaches fault though cause isn't he making them practice more offense than defense? so yeah he's fucking up their whole strategy that has been working for them for the past few years. I don't know why he's trying to make them into an offensive team...if they win games as a defensive team, then let them play that way!!! but yeah i think the players are to blame as well. the look kinda lazy and bored on the court.

Fuck the Pistons and fuck Mark Cuban and his Mavs, though Nowitzki is a class act... I like him.

Miami in 5.
Suns in 7.

PISTONS FOREVER

if it's not my Rockets, then PISTONS FOREVER!

exactly!

Where have you gone Hakeem?

Hollywood Squares.

That's it.

i think he's a terrorist now, not joking

he drove me home one time and he was all trying to change my beliefs and shit! and i've read that he funds alot of crazy crap. he doesn't live in america anymore.

What???? Hakeem drove you home??? Did he dunk on you???

no he didn't dunk on me. haha i wonder what that would have looked like!

HAKEEM is the man!
Long Live HAKEEM THE DREAM OLAJUWON!

he does still live in houston, he keeps his residence here and lives here half the year. he has been spending a lot of time in Nigeria with his family and ailing parents.

his charity did give funds to an international charity that then went one and gave money (not neccesartily hakeem money) to an organization that the uS government, that fount of wisdom and tolerance, have declared to be a terrorist organization.

to claim hakeem is funding terrorists is wrong. the US directly funded and trained guerilla fighters in el salvador and nicaragua and guatemala (and continues to do so) teaching them to kill with machetes to save ammo, to rapoe women to desecrate the village churches and shit. all taught by the CIA.

eh, i don't know. he's pretty wierd when you talk to him. i wouldn't doubt if is funding them. he's like really extremist and shit. and he claims to be part of a sect of muslims which the mojority of the terriorist that are blowing up shit are part of.

but whatever floats his boat is none of my business.

answer.

That was a nasty block. It's a good thing that Ben, Rip, and Rasheed all played for the Wizards/Bullets....nice one Unseld.

i used to play on a basketball team called the pistons. we pimped, well, i guess the rest of the team did. i sucked, but we got first place in the season

When we played ball in the neighborhood everybody called me Jumpshot J.

When I hoop they call me Bari the Blade...well no one actully does but I would encourage it if it started happening.

i was going to hijack this thread to say the same thing. we western nyers love our sports teams!! talkin' proud, talkin' proud!

sabres fans...do you still see brett hull's skate in the crease in your nightmares?
