Pistons own. Except in OT last night. Thats a fine example of what happens when u play like ass.

glad to see im not the only one who has faith in the pistons..... ya that was an awsome shot by kobe i give him credit..... but see if it was billups or someone on the pistons making that shot LA fans would never give them credit they would just make up some kind of excuse.....

My dad doesnt like Larry brown, He wanted the Pacers to win cuz rick carisle. It was piontless to fire Carisle last year anyway. but i hope the pistons beat the Lakers. Lakers are like the Yankees of Basketball. Too many Premadonnas. I wanted pistons to win soo bad. Just to see Jack Mickelson be pissed last night lol. Plus LA fans were going physco.

It was more of a huge coaching mistake than a good shot in my opinion. Kobe just elevated over Hamilton, should have put Prince on him.

I still don't think highly of Malone because he wasn't able to get a ring without going onto the roster of the most dominant team in the league. The same goes for Payton. They can say they have a ring but they wouldn't have gotten that ring if they had gone to any other team in the NBA.

How many players in the league would give up a huge portion of their salary to play for a team that had a good shot at winning it all? People forget, Malone and Payton aren't what they used to be, and just because you have 4 great players on your team, it doesn't guarantee a championship. I feel for Malone more than Payton, yeah Malone is a dirty player at times, but at least he doesn't make a big deal about his role.

People say they felt sorry for Malone's injury this year. I don't he's injured plenty of players and finally he gets to feel some pain. Malone plays dirty and then cries to the refs constantly, although he cried a lot more back in Utah. I don't like when the announcers give players credit for using what they call old tricks which is essentially playing dirty and cheating. Malone and Payton put up good numbers, but they weren't good enough to get a ring, so they decided to go to a team that is good enough to get a ring without them.

well neither of them are happy because there not putting up their regular numbers... also about crying to the refs...if there isnt a foul called everytime down the floor in the lakers favor then they are crying its just how they play.....

you sure aren't the only one. how come it seems that everytime the pistons beat the pacers everybody said that the pacers played so bad? how come no credit was given to the pistons defense? i think the pistons will go 2-1 at home and have a shot to win it back in LA but hey even if they don't win they will at least give the lakers hell and won't go down easy like a lot of people thought.

Pistons havnt got credit all year.... it was funny in the Indiana series to because every game the pistons won the pre game of next game the NBA anylists would always say "the pacers wont play that bad of offense again" and sure enough the next game they would shoot 30% from the floor.....
