Excuses...Excuses...I could say the SAME shit about the Heat/Pistons....."Pistons lost game 1 because they were tired"...and they lost game 3 because Heat got a couple of breaks on the calls....but as much as it might make me feel better...it's bullshit...who cares Miami had 8 days rest...yea it sucked...but the Pistons went into that series well aware of what they were up against...did it have a negative affect on their game? possibly...but like I said they should have realized they weren't playin' Cleveland anymore....and how this is relevant to your comment is so what? the refs make bad calls at least 2 or 3 times a game no matter what team it is in favor to...is it unfortuante that it happened to the team you like the most? Yes, it is....I get upset too...but the fact of the matter is...they should have gained their composure...went out onto the court and got it together...and they didn't....so they lost...period...this is why they make the big bucks to play the game and we don't.....and that's where they failed....there is no excuses....if it happens to Detroit tonight or tomorrow...It will happen to Miami the next game...it is how the game goes....if Detroit loses I can rest my head knowing they were still the best team in the NBA by far this year...regardless of a Championship or not....they beat themselves a couple games...and got out played a couple...it's to early in the series to make that call...but that is a for instance...stop crying about refs and let it go...it's for our entertainment....
