We have a 20-19 lead with about 2:00 in the first quarter. We need to show that type of intensity night in and night out. If we can do that we'll win a lot more games.

If we can remain competitive and lose (or dare I say) win, I'll be happy.
 
<strike>Rasheed Wallace</strike>
<strike>Rip Hamilton</strike>
Who's next?

We have to win this game - Detroit can't even handle our run!
 
They're giving out technicals like its halloween candy.
 
We should wear these Jersey's every game now.
 
Worst call of the year.........christ
 
Doesn't matter. We win.

Crawford is clutch! I taught him that.
 
and the knnicks wanted to get rid of him?? he been clutch for the knicks a lot, nobody else
 
Not even the refs can take away the game from against and save the overrated Pistons, my favorite win of the season, I love it...great day.


New York...........BASKETBALL

How is Detroit overrated?
 
The Knicks beat the best team in the NBA. Granted it took Rasheed Wallace getting ejected followed by Rip Hamilton's ejection and a push off that went uncalled by the refs to seal the deal but the Knicks won. Doesnt sound like much of a win. On the other hand I can think of a few games last season that the Knicks lost because of lousy officiating so I guess the refs owed us this one.


Anyway I think Isiah Thomas should be fired.

Because they gave up on Carlos Arroyo?

Detroit has just lost to the worst team in the NBA that makes them overrated. I know Rip and Rasheed werent even playing in the second half but that shouldnt have stopped the Pistons from winning. Prince and Ben Wallace may not be big time scorers but against the likes of Eddy Curry and Jalen Rose they should have looked like it. How about that poor defensive play by Billups at the end? He let Crawford school him. Yes I know Crawford pushed him but still... Bottom line is no matter how short handed you are, no matter who's on the court you should always be able to put up points against the Knicks no excuses. The Pistons didnt do that...so their obviously not as good as everyone thinks.

Are you joking? So are Phoenix and Dallas overrated too?
 
Rasheed and Rip are Detroit's main offensive threats, and key defensive threats as well. Billups distributes the ball, but the offense is really ran through Rasheed a lot, and they create a lot of shots for Rip as well. Although they exactly their core in defense, Rasheed is a very big key also. They still probably shouldn't have lost this game but the Knicks are very talented. If the Knicks play the way they are capable of, I wouldn't be surprised that they beat any team in the league on any given night, even away.
 
Without Sheed and Rip the Pistons are still a legit playoff team and better than the Knicks. Even with them the Knicks were making a run and by the time Rip got ejected we already had the lead. I don't care who got ejected and what not - the Knicks won and the Pistons lost.

We can't be picky with the little wins we have.
 
Knicks won, but that push no call was crazy. Detroits not an overrated team at all...however now that they've gone for offence they've let the fundamentals slide a little bit,d their rebounding for example. Detroit will be out of the playoffs by the 2nd round IMO.
 
great win by the knicks. but remember its only one win so dont get your hopes up. but i have to say its impressing at the least. maybe this win can clear up some problems in the locker room, so guys can just focus on playing ball instead of killing each other. anyways, great win and congrats
 
yes pistons are overrated

since week 2 of the season people have put them on a different level from the rest of the league, including Miami and even SAN ANTONIO. WHO OWNED THEM LAST YEAR> wtf? makes no sense. And Miami took em to 7 also. We'll see if they can live up to their new found expectations. Go spurs
 
It was a good game. If they had not kick rip and wallace out of the game the pistions would have won. But the freethrows at the end was terrible he should have made the first one and missed the second one and somebody get the rebound nobody was aleart about any of that

They've been compared to the 95 Bulls, and elite teams in the 70s and 80s.

lol...what, you think they're underrated? Lets not forget how bad of a coach Saunders is in the playoffs. People thought the Twolves would go all the way with Cassel/Sprewell/Wally/Garnett/Kandi. Never happend. Miami are getting stronger and more healthier coming into the playoffs now. They're 9-1 in their last 10 games, and are truely my favorites to face San Antonio or Phoneix in the Finals.

Pick one team.

They are an elite team, 2 years straight in the finals, and had an amazing start to the season. Their style of play wasn't compared to the Bulls, their record was, see the difference?

They went to the WCF, and lost in game 6 to Kobe, Shaq and the Lakers. Your going to fault him for that? Saunders was in the same boat as Garnett, he only had 1 good team he coached (also the only good players Garnett has had around him), and they reached the WCF. Then the next season, Cassell and Sprewell were huge distractions and disrupted team chemistry. Detroit is even better than last season, because not only do they have great defense, but now they have a good offense, and I give credit to Saunders for that.

I actually think Miami is going to beat Detroit too, if they are healthy.

Bottom line is, no team that is 51-13 should be considered overrated.

I just feel they're more to the overrated side than underrated side, I guess we think differently about Detriot, we'll see the results in the playoffs.
 
I have to agree with j0se about the Pistons on this one. They can be overrated and still be one of the great teams in the league. The comparisons with the Bulls weren't justified, especially so early in the season. The media tended to act as if there was a huge gap between the Pistons and everyone else, when, in reality, the Spurs and Mavs just struggled early on. Currently, I can't really say that the Pistons are that much better than the Spurs or Mavs.

The main reason on why you think Detroit is overrated is because everyone hates them for being first, for clinching playoff spot, for having probably the best starting lineup in the NBA, because their good.

It doesn't matter who owned them last year, it doesn't matter if Miami took them to 7, who cares, the point is Detroit is not overrated, they are a good ball team and i think that your just being fanboy on the fact of SA beating Detroit last year. I like SA, they are a really talented ball team, but please think before you even say the phrase: "Detroit is overrated".

EDIT: Crawford did the same shot against Raptors and won it, same thing happened here. Boy the guy is clutch.
