I think Flip Saunders deserved it more. Detroit is a demon with him at the helm.

Flip and Avery should split it because they did basically similar things to both teams. Flip made a defence power house into one of the best scoring teams and Avery took an offensive minded team and made them good at defense. I really think it should go to Larry Brown for putting up with the Knicks

People are always trying hold the Pistons down! I swear the good guys always finish last. Maybe this ref needs an enema, so that he'll be able to concentrate on the game!\n\nListen, I am from Grand Rapids, MI. Anyone from Detroit is a good guy to me. If you do like that then boohoo to you!

lmao Doleac? Please..the few minutes he played he was embarassing compared to the other heat players. It was the Finals, Pat Riley couldn't risk putting in those kinda players. Besides..he preferred to go with players who were much better to handle these situations.

They passed on Michael Jordan back in the day for Sam Bowie.  They trade Jermaine O'Neil for Dale Davis and they they pass on Chris Paul.  All things I've gotten to expect from the management now. It is a shame the blazers are that bad since the owner (Paul Allen) is one of the richest people in the world.  But he is also one of the cheapest.  I think we need new ownership and I believe it is going to happen soon.  He claims that the team will lose 100 million in the next 3 years, so he's asking for state funding after giving ownership of the arena.  I hope he sells the team very soon.

I agree. It was fate. Houston was smart putting Ching up for PSO. For Revs, Dempsey would've been a better choice. Noonan missed it badddddd. That game suckd. lol I also heard it might be Dempsey's last Revs game

That's because Boris Diaw improved A LOT MORE than Smush Parker.  He improved so much, some people actually have heard of him.  Besides, I knew who Smush Parker was during the regular season, and I'm not a Laker fan.

Whether he deserved it or not, you know the NBA is going to do everything they can to market Lebron. They really need him to become the next Michael Jordan to save the game of basketball from fading away like the NHL!

well it starts with a good gm which the lions lack. they lack a reason to play well.  they don't have any good players besides their kicker. they also can't play as a team to win any games. their coach is too soft on them.  the pistons play hard in the regular season and go pretty far in the playoffs.  they have a good coach who is not too soft on them.  the wings are near the end of being on top in the west.  they have a good owner who spends money on star players.  they do well in the regular season but have fallen in the last couple years in the early part of the playoffs.  the tigers got a coach who will push them to play better.  i won't say they are going to the world series or win the wild card but they improved and i think it's wonderful.  as far as the shock they are pretty good.   i am from the detroit area and love almost all of these teams but the lions.  i am not a fan of football but root for them when i can.

Gotta go with the Bad Boys.  Ben Wallace is the current day Dennis Rodman (not really, Rodman was better).  Isiah >>>>>>> Chauncey Billups. Dumars and RIP is close though, but I give the edge to Dumars.  Lambier and Daugherty - no one messes with those two.

I have never seen him act this way and I don't really blame him! There were some bad calls tonight and some people making bad decisions on his team. This was a big game for them and I really wish they could have won tonight so that they could have finished it up at home on Tuesday!!!!

I'm not so sure...Detroit is looking awful tough!

Kudos to the person who pointed out that Kidd is bi-racial, and add Bibby to that list as well. To whomever suggested Christian Laettner, you must not have seen him play since the UK-Duke buzzer beater that broke my heart in 1992. He's been a bust and a stiff ever since. I'll side with the guy who said Brad Miller, since he's one of the best at his position period (the hardest position to find in the NBA, no less), and would have to be at least top-5 in a list of American-born, white, active players.

Much needed. Kobi is in a world of hurt when he plays here Saturday. He gets away with way to much. Raja is going to make him look real bad this go around. Hell, Babosa made him look bad.

Get Ben Wallace from Detroit.  He's disgruntled with Flip Saunders, and he'd love Kidd who'll work to get him easy points (dunks) under the basket.  Plus you can them move Kristic over to the forward position, his more natural position.  That'd make for a great team: Carter, Kidd, Jefferson, Kristic, Big Ben.  Wow.

their star player is Lebron James.  I think they just depended on him to bring them back on a day when he wasnt feelin his best.  sure they have Ilgauskas but he cant do much without team support and most of that was goin to Lebron.  and bein at detroit really didnt help like you said but i dont think it was a set up.  the pistons were ranked #1 so i wasnt really expecting them to lose no matter where they played.

Well, my team is the Detroit Lions, and Joey is all but gone from Detroit.  With a decent offensive line, and a realistic offense to execute, Joey has the skills to be a quality quarterback in the NFL.  Steve Mariucci and his West Coast offense didn't get it done in Detroit.  Mariucci ran too many 6 yard sideline passes on 3rd and 8 to ever be successful.  With that offense, Johnny Unitas would have had a hard time succeeding.  I can easily see Joey Harrington coming to Detroit with another team and beating the Lions.
