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.

i think whatever team wins game 7 will win game 1 against the knicks.  too much time off for new york.

I am breathing again. 2 straight 7 game series for both teams. And the Tigers finally won. Might have a stogie tonight

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

I doubt Detroit will ever see another 5 guys like the "Going To Work" bunch. Rip, Chauncey, Prince, Ben and Rasheed started an amazing amount of games together. They were feared all across the league. I would say they were one of the best starting 5s of all time.

Well, I think the cheap Ausar extension this summer is out the window. 

That isn't a bad thing.

Every team in the nba would love to have Ausar.

Is NY rooting for Cleveland? Just for HCA? Or do they think Detroit is easier to beat? I want the Pistons to get some payback against the Knicks. But first, survive Cleveland.

new york wants cleveland.  they were 2-1 v cleveland this year and 0-3 v detroit.

ausar can guard brunson.  cleveland has no one who can guard brunson.

not only that, but the pistons blew out the knicks each time they played.

The karma play

Timberwolves are getting blasted.  If that holds then I imagine Detroit-Cleveland will move to 8PM Sunday night.

That was a pretty great performance from everybody. I honestly thought it was a longshot for the Pistons to win this game because, one, I thought they'd be deflated after blowing Game 5 and make no mistake they blew it more than Cleveland winning it and because their role players generally disappear on the road and I was unsure if Robinson would play. Well, Robinson played well, Jenkins played his best road game of the playoffs, Duren played his best game of the playoffs by a longshot, Reed doing what he always does when he gets minutes and that's play very well and Sasser gave some good minutes as well as well as Lavert. That was the difference on a night when Cade struggled in the second half and Harris largely disappeared. It felt like regular season Pistons with the bench doing a lot of heavy lifting.

I'm very impressed with the resilience of the group but now the pressure shifts back to them in Game 7 so lets see how they handle that, they handled it pretty darn well against Orlando and I feel as long as the Pistons don't give it away which they have the propensity to do at times led by Cade that they will win this game.
