i had to turn on my computer and come on here just to say how incredibly stupid the intro was to this game. National Anthem sucked...I loved the booing....then that guy that intro-ed the Pistons was just too much for me to take. All 5 of them don't need little gimmicky nick names to be cool. He coulda just dragged their name like Rasheeeeeed WALLACE! and not sound quite as ridiculous
i like they what i'm seein from the defensive but if detriot can get that offensive goin in the 2nd half they will be golden....malone wa pretty impressive when he was on the court.....did anyone see that stupid behind the pass williamson try to make and brown yank his ass outta the game...i loved how the whole detriot bench was laughin about that.... it cracked me up plus it shows how loose they are and that game 2 didnt f*ck with them mentally
the lakers have jus had there ass handed to them...no team nooo team has dominated the lakers like that...i've been saying if from day 1 that the pistons have the defense and talent to take it all but now everyone f that didnt give detriot a snowballs chance in hell has to say there wrong about doubting the pistons they way everyone doubted them...the only thing i didnt like about the game was seeing Eminem and Renee Zellweger at the game...thos ****ers never showed up to any other piston games leave that type of shit hollywood
i know the series aint over but the pistons have just outplayed the lakers in 3 straight games and everyone from kobe to shaq got absoutly worked by the best defense in the league and the best part was watching those stupid ass announcers who were so sure about the laker have to go absoutly speechless about the lakers and finally, FINALLY giving credit to detriot
I might be wrong too with picking the Lakers in 6. Heres some of the problems the Lakers are having against Detroit at least in my opinion.
1. Shaq is not dominating Detroit as I thought he would. Shaq's still getting his points, but with almost no double team he should be dominating by averaging 30 to 40 points. Plain and simple Shaq is not as explosive as years ago. I thought the reason the Lakers would probably win would be Shaq's dominance over smaller opponents like the two Wallaces. Detroit has also limited Shaq's easy baskets mostly making him take one hand jumpers. One interesting move Brown has done is totally gone away from Hack a Shaq. One problem nobody ever talks about Hack a Shaq is it puts the opponent in the penalty early in the quarter which lets Kobe's game take to another level, because when he drives he will either be fouled or he will score.
2. Prince is giving Kobe fits. Ive always thought the perfect player to guard Kobe would be someone who is long and athletic and Prince pretty much challenges all of Kobe's shots. Also Kobe spending a lot of energy guarding Hamilton and Billups.
3. Detroit is the more athletic, younger and tougher.
4. Detroit probably has the best defense since the bad boys.
Too me, if the Lakers want to get back in the series Kobe has to carry them. Shaq will get his points but he will not dominate, because of his dumb temmates and his loss of his explosiveness , Malone looking more and more crippled, Gary is Gary and the Lakers have already had their surprise attack with Luke. Kobe's the only one who can win a game by himself in this series in my opinion.
