I'm not even gonna bother reading the thread because I know exactly what I'll see; a bunch of crying. Yes, it was a bad call at the end of the 3rd quarter. But ya know what? There were plenty of other bad calls in the game going both ways. That one was just particularly noticeable because of the circumstances under which it occurred.
You think any Piston fan is happy about it? We're gonna have to see it replayed on SportsCenter a million times and have to listen to fans cry about it non-stop for the next 48 hours and maybe longer. But it is what it is. The refs are part of the game and right now Detroit is up 2-0. Deal with it.

Whatever, the only thing I sympathize with is the Billups 3 at the end of the third quarter that shoulda been a re-do, THATS IT.
Everything else is just the usual losing team bitching. Of course, they dont give a crap about the BS fouls that sent Sheed to the bench for 3 minutes down the stretch or that fouled out McDyess, no no, only fouls on the Magic are BS, none of the ones on the Pistons. As a matter of fact, the Magic didn't commit any fouls and the Pistons committed double the fouls they called for !!!!!!

Spoken like a guy who is acustomed to watching the Pistons given games and paraded to the free throw line. If you think that 3 pointer is the only screwjob in this game then you may want to check the prescription on those blue shaded glasses.

You're right, I forgot to mention the Pistons big men having to ride the bench in the 4th. PS Orlando is also blue shaded.

Since when does Stern or league want to see the Pistons advance? This notion that we are somehow the darlings of the league is absurd. Go cry in a corner.Cammo101 wrote:-= original quote snipped =-

Even the commentator said Theo knocked the ball out of bounds. Even if you don't call the foul the ball should have went to the Magic.
The Refs screwed us. Simple as that.
He said he stripped him, he didn't say anything about him knocking it out of bounds or it being a bad call.

Don't even bring that garbage. None of the Pistons fans are denying the terrible call involving the game clock at the end of the 3rd quarter. It was a terrible break for Orlando, but the clock operator is from Minnesota so he wasn't favoring the Pistons and the rule states that the refs can't look at replay unless the clock is all zeros.
Dude, the refs always stop the play if the clock didn't start or gets jammed. And they didn't do it even though the Magic players were telling them. No defending why the refs didn't stop play. Just ridiculous.

are you kidding? do you not understand ANYTHING about momentum? Not only are those 3 points extremely important, but it gave Detroit their momentum back. They were up 10 at halftime and were about to be down 1 going into the 4th quarter. That changes everything.
Magic get robbed. Don't be surprised if SVG says some stuff to get a fine in his press conference.
I'd be surprised if that whining baby didn't complain after a game...
