Lets see...Knicks lose....You guys blame the players.....
Pistons are struggling and now you remove blame from the players and put it on the coach........Sounds logical

If you watched that game last night, its was easy to see that Billups and Rasheed didn't show up....

I'm so happy that the Pistons won. I was getting so sick of the smug, nonchalant, arrogance coming from the Pistons. Like whatever, we've been here before, we know we can beat this guys, no way are they better than us. Especially Rasheed with his GuaranSheed. He's such an idiot. Hasn't he learned by now that presenting a challenge makes people work even harder to prove you wrong. Especially a great player like Lebron. He should have just let sleeping dogs lie. Well....surprise, surprise. Not saying that the Cav's will win the serious (I hope they do) but I'm sure this has put a little dent in the steel amour. On any given night, any team in the NBA is beatable. Regardless of how sub par you believe the opponent is, they are professional ball players. It can happen. Not to mention the Cav's have the best player in the leaguer (in my opinion) on their team. Lebron is such a complete player. I love the fact that he does not force the game. He let's the game come to him. If the play is not in his favor, then he passes the ball period. I read that he said, most critics were telling him that he should not do that. He should always take the short, or try to create something instead of passing off to a less skilled player. And Lebron said he would never to that. He believes in the fundamentals of basketball. If your double, tripled, there has to be at least one person open. Pass the ball for a better shot. And that's what he does. I love that guy. And, the sickness of it all is that he's only 21! Just crazy.

And one more thing, Pistons are finding out the hard way that Defense wins championships. It is very difficult to score a lot of points in the playoffs. And plus you may just be having an off night offensively. That's where defense will count the most. Hmm....I wonder if they miss LB??

The great Flip Saunders is doing the same or better than what Larry Brown did in Detroit right? Morons.

LOL, point of fact. During Larry Brown 2 years in Detroit, he has coached in 4 series that the Pistons were in elimination trouble. For whatever reason it is the semi-conference finals that has plagued this team. Same under Rick Carlisle. They earned the rep for doing things the hard way.

you guys make me laugh whoever thought Flip saunders was better than Brown.. I told everyone that i wasn't sold on Saunders as pistons coach..

He preaches offense offense offense! He's trying to have the pistons win games soley on offense.. This is not the same pistons team that went to the finals back to back yrs..

At least Brown stressed defense like crazy.. At least Detriot had that identity with Brown but now they've lost it..

If they beat celveland which now looks like a long shot, they won't beat Pat Riley and the heat.. I cannot see flip outcoaching Pat Riley.. NO WAY!!!

Let's not go overboard, Flip hasn't lost yet. Brown was in a similar circumstance a few years ago when they won the title. They are both good coach's and the Knicks would be lucky to be able to run either of them out of town.

Sorry pal but Flip isn't a good coach.. How many times has he gone to the NBA Finals or even the conference championship??

He couldn't get by the 1st round in his career until 2004 but got knocked out by the lakers. Why? cause he was outcoached by phil Jackson.. He had the best record back then too..

Larry got a title and appeared in 3 NBA finals. flip gets outcoached all the time and now might get beaten by Mike Brown.. WOW

You mean those dirty "Larry Lovers"?

Yeah, but those guys wearing the Detroit jerseys are pretty darn good.
