[/quote]Another thing to add to the list of annoying things about the Pistons -- Billups drawing fouls by kicking his opponent on the way down -- Remember House doubled over in pain a few games back after Billups kicked him in the b@lls? Tough luck House, you made contact with the shooter![/quote]
Did you see the two-footed kick he (Billups) tried out in the fourth quarter - it looked like he was trying to swim in the air. The Pistons seem to be the worst, or is it the best, man-for-man hackers in the league. I can't think of another team whose players so routinely flop, fake, hold, hack and list list goes on. If they had to play a straight game they'd lose by 30 points. Even when the C's were called for fewer fouls, the Pistons could have racked up at least 10-15 more fouls, but the refs know it would be ridiculous so they let a lot of the fouls go. An interesting strategy - just keep fouling and them they'll stop calling them. I think this accounts for the Pistons better second half numbers and comebacks. It's ugly and corrupts the game.
