Click to enrangerThere’s going to be a lot of talk in the next two days about a need for the Pistons to “get back to basics” and such, after their Game 4 loss to the Heat.
More interesting than that will be the talk about how to reboot the franchise after their Game 5 loss that sends them home for the year.
New coach? Old coach? New players? Star player? Nobody’s quite sure what’s going on in Detroit, but there’s one certainty amid the chaos of this unraveling season.
While even Chauncey Billups is giving the Heat credit, our old friend Rasheed Wallace is blaming this all on the refs.
“You know, it’s some b.s.,” Wallace said. “I don’t see how you double the foul line. Know what I’m saying? He (Dwyane Wade) had 19 free throws. We had 23, 24 (22, actually). … The powers that be turned into some b.s.”
While we understand the man’s need to not take blame for anything, we also watched the game. That would be the one where Dwyane Wade was shooting 44,510% from the field, Shaq drove the length of the court for a layup, and even Antoine Walker was driving to the hole.
Now, you may think we’re taking special glee in watching this Piston team fall apart after what they did to our Cavaliers. That’s not the case at all – our glee is no more or less special than your own.
The fact is, the Pistons losing (tomorrow night) is a great thing for the NBA. Coupled with the Spurs’ ouster last week, we’ve got that many more true contenders next season, and the Pistons will be one of them, have no doubt.
All they need to do is hop in a flux-capaciting Delorean, not select Darko go back to the Cleveland series, and not allow their egos to eat them alive.

That was a great game last night! Wade and Shaq are showing that the Pistons are a bunch of cocky pushovers! I can’t wait to see Mavs vs. Heat in the Finals! The Pistons seem to think they can just stroll into any series and win because their supposed to be the shit or something? That whole team needs to grow up and take a look a good look at themselves. I still think this fallout has to do with the coach since he isn’t stepping up to the plate and trying to lead his troops into a war that should be closer then it is.
This is great for the NBA since none of the teams that will be in the NBA have never been Champions yet! Seeing both top seeds fall is great for a change. Not to mention, I need to get my hands on some tickets since I live in FL.
Mavs for the win tonight!

That was game great night! Wade/Shaq a’re showing that the Pistons are a bunch of cocks! I can’t wait to see Mullets in the Finals! The Pistons seem to think they can just troll in any series and win ’cause they’re posers to be or something? That hole needs to grow up and take a look a good look a look a good look a look at themselves. I still think this fall has to do with the team since they ain’t stepping up to the plate in a war.
This is great for the WNBA since all of the teams that will be in the WNBA have never been NBA Champions yet! Seeing both top seeds fall is great for a change. Not to mention, I need to get my hands on some midget porn since I live in FL.
