very true. and the pistons win against us was the dumbest call i've ever seen in my life cause it was like 4 secs left and the refs called a ghost foul for them to win the game. we need to play big baby against this team more than PJ imo. big baby went off on the celts and had like 10 and1's to win it in the 4th when we faced them the 2nd time.
very true. the pistons system of defense ran so well for a player like ben and ben was the perfect fit for ur defense and u'll never get that back. ben was dumb and ran with the money when he was making it good in D. it came to a point where ben wallace was one of my fav players and bought his authentic jersey and everything. i was hella pissed when he left for the bulls since i spent all tha money on that jersey lol. learned my lesson though and only buy retired players jerseys now, with the acception of KG
Two things.. The foul on Chauncey in that first game was definitely a foul. Pierce I believe completely fell for a pump fake and knocked him over. On the block attempt that shit happens all the time. And it got called.
Second, this Piston team is better without Ben Wallace. Especially considering how bad of a player ben wallace is now. Jason Maxiell is better than Ben Wallace now. And I'd rather have McDyess than Wallace in the lineup. It sucks playing 4 on 5 on offense, and he really didn't mean much for the defense. The defense is still near the top of the league with the CElts and Spurs. But now the team can actually score points because they have five people that can score.
Hopefully the Pistons can pull this off. They need hold serve and just win game 2 or 5 or 7 to get this. 7 will be tough though, so I think they need to still Game 2 or 5, which is possible.
Though the end of this series, if it goes long, would favor the Pistons since the Celts will be on a pretty crazy stretch of games and the Pistons got there week off, and will have more in the tank later in the series.
Should be a good series. Hopefully the Pistons can take Game 2.
