Can You Say 6-24 Shooting ?
For the leagues leading scorer Dirk Nowitzki ?
Yup, that is what he shot last night against the champs ! We're starting to get it together now, 3-1 on this road trip ! Only a matter of time before we start reeling off a nice string of victories, to climb atop the division !
It's all about DEFENSE !!!
>It's all about DEFENSE !!!>
Not in the NBA it aint, not till playoff time
That's why we held Dallas to 81 points last night ! I dare say that if Detroit could hold every team to 81 points every night that they would win every game.
Best offense is always a good defense ! I don't care what time of year it is !
Besides our offense has looked great of late as well, but a lot of points come off of our tough D, and that is just a fact.
MVP in the NBA is the referee's. Why are there rarely any blow outs? almost every time a team is down by 20 points early by the 4 minute mark of the 4th. period they will be back in the game. NCAA were real basketball is played!!
I agree to a point Joe ! Definately love college hoops too ! Nothing beats the NCAA finals, but I enjoy the pros too !
Funny you say that, even Bill Lambeer made a comment to that effect last night at the start of the 2nd half. He said, " We'll probably see a few more whistles on us, to give Dallas a chance to make it interesting. " Sure enough there were a fair amount of whistles on Detroit and hardly any on Dallas. We still spanked them though, had em down and kept them down.
There was another quote of Bills I loved, "When you got em down, keep em down, rub your heel in their faces, that's the mark of a champion " Figuratively speaking of course !
I can't say I don't like the NBA I am a Magic and Cavs fan. The Magic have been molded the same as your Pistons. No big Superstar(good riddance Mcgrady)and the team concept I am enjoying this more than past years. Everyone shoots 40% in the NBA its just being the lucky guy on each team that gets to chuck up 30 shots in a game ie. Kobie, Iverson, Mcgrady.
Hey Wavy, you already forget about that ass whippin' the Bucks gave you a few games back?
i also don't know that Joe here has gotten his proper orientation into the hoops talk.....
Joe, the Cavs and the Magic SUCK!
now kiss our ass!
>>MVP in the NBA is the referee's
No shit!!
Notty are you living in the Bizaro World were the last place team is first? Its going to be a long cold boring winter in Wisconsin, at least you can start thinking on who to draft with the first pick.
Notty, You're like a Tiger fan that gets all excited about sweeping the Yankees the 3rd week of April !!! Relax ! :-0
We have some new guys that have to learn the Pistons way of hoops. Matter of time ! After all we lost Corliss, and Memo, as well as Mike James.
We have Ben back now, and he is looking great, actually swished two free throws in a row the other night, and as usual his defense is MONSTER !
Oh, and quit posting all those pics of my wifes ass all over the zone, would ya !
and for the record Joe, i do live in the Bizzaro world.
