um, what's up with the play-by-play guy p---ing his pants with the "AND THAT"S A HARD FOUL!" every time somebody gets their slippers dirty?

I don't even know what a "hard foul" is. This guy needs to go broadcast golf.

[Chief]

Rip, you'll get yours "Rambis style" before it's over.

Doc finally got the message about the right players to play.  I'm feeling much, much better about this team's championship chances with Eddie in there, and P.J. and Powe as the bigs off the bench.

Good job, Doc.

I'd prefer Sam if they continue to press.

Until it becomes a major issue, I'd rather have House on the floor.  They can use Paul or Ray to advance the ball; we need Eddie's shooting, energy, and ball movement.

[Dybdal]

WHY ON EARTH ARE WE STILL FOULING ON BREAK-AWAYS?!!??!

i cant believe Doc isnt more upset with this, detroit has LIVED on the line in the first qtr, and Posey's foul is a wellcome mat back to the very same line.

Hamilton throwing an elbow..

Orlando would have been a lot tougher than Detroit

Pistons are seriously overmatched out here like they've been all season and like they should be based on individual and team talents.

You called this a while back, appears your analysis wasn't far off, if not spot on..

[Who]

Mark Jackson is doing my head in. Could he talk about what he'd do as a head coach out there any more? Heard hardly any of this garbage from him during the regular season. Now it happens every 5-10 minutes every game throughout the playoffs.

Wonder what he's trying to do? Somebody give that man a coaching job already so I don't have to listen to him.

[Roy Hobbs]

We looked pretty good in Game 1 of the first and second series, too.

And we won both of them.

(I'm in full optimist mode tonight.)

[Tenacious D]

Way to take it inside KG.

ps after Sheed drew that sketchy touch foul on PJ, Brown has had to give way and Wallace  is getting space to launch his J. Thanks, stripes.

[lon3lytoaster]

Rasheed is really, really predictable. Probably should try to do something when he's obviously looking to shoot that every time.

[joebianca]

Rip just became the villain of the series, what a cheap play. I now have someone to direct my dislike at.

Yep. What a Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.. Can't take a hard screen, Dick?

[Celtic]

Can't stop attacking now, need to keep up the pressure and get to the line and make free throws. Ray needs a road trip to get going, alleviate a little bit of the pressure.

[BASSTHUMPER]

i dont see detroit playin any diffrent at home....might be able to sweep..

you could tell atl and cleveland was gonna be tuff but detroit i dont think will be a problem on the road..

[Scott]

Great play...Posey and Rondo.

[joebianca]

Hamilton throwing an elbow..

Let's calm down a bit. We haven't even won Game 1 yet..

[Tenacious D]

Forced some TOs but didnt captialize. Keep attacking
