Watching Cade get mugged by Struss after that weak ass call on Ausar is infuriating.

[buddha]

what's worse?  

watching these refs **** the pistons, or listening to candace and dwyane try to justify every call?

[Betrayer]

Listening to Wade is terrible no matter what. He’s so bad. Not Webber bad, but still. Bad. 

[buddha]

i'm not a "blame the refs" type of guy, but this is ****ing ridiculous.

[Betrayer]

So many of those Duren highlights were so close to turnovers. I’d show him that film and say don’t do it again. 

[buddha]

hell yeah!!!!!!

BYE CLEVELAND!  head back to your trailer park!

[Betrayer]

Jenkins hitting all the shots he couldn’t hit last game. Nice redemption arc. 

[buddha]

is there a fire drill?  why are all the cleveland fans leaving?

[Deleterious]

Thompson and Reed were huge tonight.  Jenkins hit some big shots in the 4th. Sasser gave them nice minutes. Duren had a solid game as well.

What an outstanding game says Mr. Obvious.

 

On to game 7!

[Sports_Freak]

94 points. We held a team that was 6-0 in the playoffs at home to 94 points. Remarkable.

Amazing what losing some of your PT can do to a player. DUREN actually wasn't a complete black hole on both sides of the floor. Played reasonable.

And this is why while the Bad Boy era should clearly be my favorite era in Pistons' history, when I'm asked to pick one I enjoyed the most, its hard for me to answer that question. 

 

I saw almost every home Barry Sanders offensive play live. I think his rookie season was the only one we didn't go to every home game, but after that we saw a lot of Barry. But I still think watching Ben play defense was my "most fun" person to watch play in a Detroit uniform in any of the major 4 teams.

 

But Ausar is a lot of fun to watch as well.

[buddha]

the key play in the game was wade slipping on the same spot where harden flopped a minute before.

KARMA!!!!!!

the basketball gods have finally had enough.

ben wallace is my second favorite piston behind isiah and just ahead of laimbeer.

cade is 4th but rising every day.

Could the Pistons nickname this year become the 7th game Pistons?

 

One nice thing if Detroit does win game 7 is they don't have to travel for game #1 - a slightly overlooked thing because one doesn't expect a 1 seed to have back to back 7-game series. The Pistons certainly would like some more time off but being home does help. And maybe the Knicks will be rusty game 1 for the Pistons if Detroit wins this series.

That Ben Wallace stat is insane. That’s why he’s my favorite Piston of all time. Ausar is climbing the ranks though.
