Tayshaun Prince, F 12.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, .463 FG%, .365 3PT% 4-time All-Defensive second team Member of 2004 NBA champion Detroit Pistons Has not missed a game since his rookie season, has gone to at least the conference finals every year of his career, and is a very efficient player, averaging just 1.2 turnovers for his career. I should also point out that aside from Nash and Mark Price, everyone on my team has been to at least one Finals.

So, what do we do when we get back around to KOAB? Will we just skip him again?

We'll use this thread. Here's the schedule Boston 98, LA Lakers 88 Boston 108, LA Lakers 102 LA Lakers 87, Boston 81 Boston 97, LA Lakers 91 LA Lakers 103, Boston 98, Boston leads 3-2 Tue, June 17: @ Boston, 9:00 *Thu, June 19: @ Boston, 9:00

Pierce is going to go broke once this anti-flopping rule is installed.

I just had a can of Mello Yello today out of a randomly placed pop machine as I was riding my bike. Vault is pretty much a repackaged version of Mello Yello.

Oh, fuck you, Vujacic.

We don't need to change the Hack-a-Shaq. Work on your goddamn free throws, and no one will use it on you anymore. Simple as that.

There's already a separate topic for the flopping thing. http://forums.thesmartmarks.com/index.php?showtopic=90977

I wonder how big of fines we're talking about here. Either way, this is better than the previous suggestion, which was calling technicals for flops. Looks like good news all around from this meeting.

Yeah, I'm guessing by the end of June, early July, they rattle off nine straight wins against divisional opponents and get right back in it. Isn't that how it's gone every year since 2004?

Shit, I was hoping Jamison would make it back to me.

"All that bull(bleep)-ass calls they had out there. With Mike [Callahan] and Kenny [Mauer] -- you've all seen that (bleep)," Wallace said. "You saw them calls. The cats are flopping all over the floor and they're calling that (bleep). That (bleep) ain't basketball out there. It's all (bleeping) entertainment. You all should know that (bleep). It's all (bleeping) entertainment."

Well, I agree with that. More or less, I was just pointing out the obvious and saying that it's happened before with this team. I can't really predict what the Pistons will do, anyways, because of their Jekyll & Hyde tendencies that have already been mentioned. I think they're good enough to beat any of these three teams in a series, but who knows where their heads are going to be at. I'll go ahead and ask this question, since it's probably inevitable: If the Pistons fail again to make it to the Finals, should/will Flip get the boot?

fun fact: If the Celtics do close it out, they would become just the second team in the last 30 years (along with the '02 Nets) to make the Finals after missing the playoffs the previous year.

He still played well in game 7, and they still lost after blowing a late lead. They were also down 3-2 against Cleveland in '06, and New Jersey in '04, and won both.

Also, the banner is only present on the TSM Pro skin. If you hate it that much, you can change to the Original or Webber skin.

The Pistons were down 3-2 against Miami in '05, and won that series. I think there's still hope here

The Pistons must lead the league in not being able to inbound the ball in endgame situations. This is at least the second time I've seen it happen in these playoffs.

And then Pierce does a Raja Bell on Billups, and that's somehow not a flagrant, presumably because he slapped him on the ass following the play. And FINALLY they call a T on that whiny bitch Perkins. Jesus.

I'd been considering Bowen the last couple rounds, but thought it might cost me some points with the voters.

That's the right call right there. Shut the fuck up, Jackson and Van Gundy.

Tzar Lysgeric! He's gone to plaid!

Rick Sund is going to be the new GM of the Hawks, according to ESPN.
