Edit: Also, I know this is often difficult to do, but what the hell did Bill Walton mean by saying that the Suns won't be needing a plane to go back to Sacramento as the game was fading out?

As TSM's resident Bill Walton expert....shit, even I don't know what he was going for.

The Sun rises in the west and decends in the east so therefore PHX should win the next game?

Who knows. My favorite line is still the decidedly prophetic "this is an intelligent game" right before the shove that started the brawl.

He said the Spurs won't need a plane to get to Sacramento (Spurs next game)

 

It was an implied expression. "The victory was such a high" or "They are on cloud 9" take your pick., so he was just playing on that.

I assumed Bill simply thought the great Greek God Pan the goat creature would simply carry them out of pride for such a spectacular win. The fun part with Bill is that there's a 45% chance he did indeed mean something along those lines.

Duke Phillips really should be more prominent in America's collective mind's.

 

I want to hang out with Bill Walton for a day. I bet he can't just do anything, he absolutely has to comment on it.

 

"These are the most intelligent eggs I've seen since the great Larry Bird laced them up in the Garden"

well the Bulls got a huge front page splash in the Sun Times for beating the Hawks, so they probably get a fucking parade if they can beat the Pistons.

It may be time to start erecting statues of Scott Skiles throughout Chicago. Seriously, Curry and Chandler must be terrified of him to be playing this consistently well.

Bulls win vs. Detroit. Does beating the (World Champion) Pistons mean anything anymore?

It's starting to make me wonder if the Pistons were really a championship-worthy team or just a team that was able to barely make it into the Finals against a team they jsut happened to match up perfectly with.

 

Like, if the Pacers or Nets would have made the Finals instead, would we have seen a different outcome in the Lakers' fate or would they have still lost? Remember Detroit needed 7 games to beat both the Pacers and Nets,

The Pistons were a championship worthy team. It doesn't matter if they just "barely" made it by the other teams they played, they still made it and they still destroyed the supposed best team in the west. This makes them championship worthy. And anyone who's seen them play this year will probably note that they just don't have near the intensity they had last year. I love the Bulls, but I'm not gonna pretend that the end of the year Pistons from 03-04 would have had any real trouble with the Bulls current squad. They would've completely shut them down and probably won by double figures tonight.

 

The big problem is The Pistons team is a team that revolves around pure hustle and teamwork. They can't relax like the old Lakers' squads or the Spurs teams and rely on Kobe Bryant, Shaq and Tim Duncan's talents to carry them. If they're not playing 100% as a team and with maximum defensive intensity, then they will lose almost as much as they win.

Seriously, last year we heard so much about the Pistons hard work and dedication on and off the court. This year, we've seen little of that. It's making me think these guys are getting lazy and letting the championship get to their heads. They're probably thinking now "Oh, we're the champs, we can turn it on whenever we want".

I think that happens with a lot of championship-caliber teams. Witness the Lakers last year, for example.

I'd also attribute some of the drop to Larry Brown not being as focused. That could hurt them a bit too.

They beat Indiana in 6.

 

There's no question about Detroit being championship caliber. Would Indy or NJ have beat LA? Probably not, but they didn't beat Detroit either, and that's why they play the games. Detroit owned LA in the Finals.

 

It's a new season though, and Detroit is showing why it's so hard to repeat. And looking at their team, everything broke perfectly for them last year. Ben Wallace is a major difference maker on defense, but they don't have one truely dynamic superstar, and that hurts them now that everyone is gunning for them.

 

Plus, I think the fight fucked with their heads in a really negative way due to it going down on their homecourt, while the Pacers seemed to have rallied around it. And the combination of the championship, olympics and brawl has definitely messed with Larry Brown, he's a pretty emotional, flighty guy as is and there's no way he's in a championship mindset right now.

I can't wait to watch a 7 game Phoenix-San Antonio series after the awesome battle they had the other night.

Posted

The suns traded away a 7'0 foot 19 year old, a 6'10 hustle player/rookie, and probably their most consistant shooter and best perimeter defender, AND a second round pick for a 35 year old two guard.

 

...

 

 

I stand by my belief that Phoenix knows how to draftem, but they have NO idea how to trade. What in the ever loving fuck were they thinking? Now their "big men" are Jake Voskal(who is all of 6'9), Bo Outlaw(if you want to call him big...he is really a SF) and Stephen fucking Hunter (who has been playing well actually) to back up Amare. And in return they got....JIM FUCKING JACKSON.

 

This had BETTER work out dammit.
