Guest Choken One Posted June 16, 2004 Report Posted June 16, 2004 Iverson: Title? Brown won a title? we're talking bout a title? a damn title? A title? Man, we talking bout a title...Man..Title. TITLE. Man..Title...can you believe that...title..
Chuck Woolery Posted June 16, 2004 Report Posted June 16, 2004 Watching Darko very nearly give the game to the Lakers in the last two minutes made me laugh more than any of you realize. Here's to more Laker-stomping next year; it's the gift that keeps on giving.
Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20 Posted June 16, 2004 Report Posted June 16, 2004 Off to a 3rd world country this crap goes.
Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Posted June 16, 2004 Report Posted June 16, 2004 Fisher's eyes look a little red.
Guest Choken One Posted June 16, 2004 Report Posted June 16, 2004 Anyone get the vision of George and Shaq playing NBA Street in the locker room right now even giving a fuck they just got wiped.
KingPK Posted June 16, 2004 Report Posted June 16, 2004 Good to see that Red is still king of the mountain of NBA coaches, and Phil is on the ledge below still looking up. If I was a Laker fan, I'd be embarassed with my team right now. Just like Yankees fans were after the Marlins beat them. Congrats to the Pistons. Don't burn the city down now.
The Electrifyer Posted June 16, 2004 Report Posted June 16, 2004 Is anyone else just finding this so unreal? Probably outside of Cena's Writer, I just can't believe this happened. I think I'm dreaming when I'm watching Detroit celebrate with the trophy. Also, Fisher seemed really sad... so sad that it brings a smile to my face.
Guest El Satanico Posted June 16, 2004 Report Posted June 16, 2004 Anyone get the vision of George and Shaq playing NBA Street in the locker room right now even giving a fuck they just got wiped. Wonder who picked the Pistons or did they have to flip for it.

Red and Jackson are on the same ledge. Each Have Nine.

Wonder who picked the Pistons or did they have to flip for it. George: I'm Detroit! Shaq: Naw, Dawg...I'm Detroit man George: But I wanna be like Ben Wallace Man...You can be the purple team Shaq: Man I dont wanna be the purple team...Gimme a Pepsi and Crunch bar fool
The Czech Republic Posted June 16, 2004 Report Posted June 16, 2004 Ummm... Red and Jackson are on the same ledge. Each Have Nine. But Red has titles as a GM and President so that breaks the tie.
Justice Posted June 16, 2004 Report Posted June 16, 2004 Apparently now Bill Davidson (The owner of the Pistons) has won a Super Bowl, a World Series, a Stanley Cup Final and an NBA Final, not to mention the WNBA Final. He's also won 3 in a year. Talk about one hell of a lucky guy.
Guest Choken One Posted June 16, 2004 Report Posted June 16, 2004 And yet no one knows who in the hell he is. That is the PERFECT owner.
Guest El Satanico Posted June 16, 2004 Report Posted June 16, 2004 Now Phil will go to whatever hideout he goes to for a year or two to go fishing, ride motorcycles, smoke some pot, reflect, read zen books. Then he will reappear as coach of the Knicks.

Then he will reappear as coach of the Knicks. Sounds about right... However, Cleveland perhaps? By then LeBron would be a 3 year vet who has decent role players and just needs that final touch ala Jordan and Kobe.

Less stressful may interest Phil after his stay in LA.
TSA09 Posted June 16, 2004 Report Posted June 16, 2004 The game was great and now I can die happy nowing that Karl Malone isn't getting his damn ring. And having Jack front row for this loss made it that much more better. I'm glad they lost and lost looking pathetic and extra shitty.
Guest Mindless_Aggression Posted June 16, 2004 Report Posted June 16, 2004 I thought for sure Larry Brown would have a massive heart attack with 2 minutes left in the game as he coached his ass off to get Mike James to run the perfect pick n roll with Darko. Just a glorious game though.
Fuzzy Dunlop Posted June 16, 2004 Report Posted June 16, 2004 Twelve-year-old Lakers fans outside LA will be upset for about a week, if that, so if you're going to mock and roast, do it now.
The Electrifyer Posted June 16, 2004 Report Posted June 16, 2004 This goes to show that a Kobe promise isn't as good as a Rasheed garuntee.
Spicy McHaggis Posted June 16, 2004 Report Posted June 16, 2004 This probably won't mean much but... Congrats to the Pistons. They deserve every ounce of credit. They dominated the Lakers in a way I could not imagine. Chauncey Billups is a real winner, proving me categorically wrong. That is a true team with players I would love to watch in any other situation. Larry Brown absolutely deserves this... a long time coming. Detroit certainly earned my respect. Way to go.
Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Posted June 16, 2004 Report Posted June 16, 2004 Phil Jackson is done as an effective coach for good.
Guest Mindless_Aggression Posted June 16, 2004 Report Posted June 16, 2004 Well seeing as how this thread was filled with predictions, I say we not stop making them. I'm gonna go low ball and say only $100,000 worth of damage is done to Detroit.
Guest MikeSC Posted June 16, 2004 Report Posted June 16, 2004 Only one team played hard....... The Lakers played hard. Detroit was just BETTER in every sense of the word. -=Mike
Bruiser Chong Posted June 16, 2004 Report Posted June 16, 2004 Bwhahahaha. The 2004 Lakers are officially the biggest flop in basketball history. Come out with all the lame excuses, but here was a team that wasn't just built to win; it was built to win THIS YEAR. Not next year, but this year. They made it to the Finals, but looked like they didn't belong there at all. They were dominated all the way, only able to salvage one game and getting blown out the rest. This is great and I hope that people will start to accept the fact that the Pistons are a great team. The Lakers are a bunch of individuals with name power. Big difference. The Lakers are a perfect example of what being a group of self-serving pricks can get you in the end. Congrats Pistons. You earned it and left no questions or doubts about it.
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted June 16, 2004 Report Posted June 16, 2004 Congratulations to KARL MALONE AND GARY PAYTON... ... for continuing to prove that although they'll go down as great players... ... they each have ONE LESS RING than Darko.
bobobrazil1984 Posted June 16, 2004 Report Posted June 16, 2004 Want to read something funny? This is from just over one year ago. Wednesday, June 4, 2003 Jackson says Brown could have done better By Chris McCosky / The Detroit News SAN ANTONIO -- Count Lakers Coach Phil Jackson among those who feel Larry Brown made a mistake taking the Pistons head coaching job. "There are a lot of other jobs, really quality jobs, where you can go forward," Jackson said on his weekly radio show, which airs from 6-7 p.m. Mondays on Sporting News Radio. "I don't know how far forward Detroit can get. They do have the second pick and that's an opportunity, but that's probably not going to manifest itself in a year or two. "This is a team that has overachieved, it's not a team that you would say is on the threshold of being a great team. It's a team that really had to push itself right to its limits to achieve what it has done." Jackson said he felt Brown could have found a better situation. "I think there are teams in the market there that probably have more talent -- New Orleans as much talent perhaps; Houston definitely with Yao Ming and Steve Francis are a talented team -- that Larry had opportunities perhaps to go to," Jackson said. "I was surprised he took it as quickly as he did and made that decision in Detroit's favor." The Pistons signed Brown to a five-year, $30 million contract Monday. Brown never interviewed for the Hornets job, and he wasn't offered a contract by Houston. http://www.detnews.com/2003/pistons/0306/04/e01-183616.htm
