Official Detroit Pistons Consolation Thread

:cry:

Hey, San Antonio might have an NBA title, but Detroit has John Conyers!

If you have a conspiracy theory as to why the other team won, please post it in this thread.

1. Great series

Detroit is a damned good team. High praise from a Bulls fan.

[Stephist]

2. Sorry

Nothin to be ashamed of. I still love Sheed Ben and the boys great season Great team.

[salin]

3. Being a Pacers fan

I probably ought to stay quiet ;-)

But I was in Detroit during the second half of the bad-boy championships ... so generally have been pretty much rooting for the Pistons over the years...

4. Look at it this way

At least nobody will be subjected to that Chimp-loving ass, Al Michaels, if only for a few months.

5. *sob*

Born-and-raised Metro Detroiter here in mourning. :(

6. My condolences from Indy

Sorry to see it happen. I always root for the East. Good game though.

[MrScorpio]

7. I am not happy

Very not happy

8. This is turning out to be the SUCKIEST vacation ever.

10. Hi From Jackson!

:hi:

What brings you to our neck of the woods? Hopefully not a bunch of cars wasting gasoline by driving really fast in an oval.

11. I'm from Kalamazoo.

My dad moved to Adrian a couple of years ago when he became an unemployment statistic and couldn't find work locally. I've not seen his new house or area until now.

I'm on vacation - supposedly decompressing from an extreme amount of stress in WA, and a deep need to be around old friends.

First, I'm upset about some bullshit between my best friend and step-sister that I won't go into - but at this moment I can't imagine my relationship with either of them being the same again - and second, my other friend lost her 3 year old daughter in a car crash 2 nights ago - and I did not get over to see her before it happened. I saw her for the first time in a couple of years lying in a hospital bed -crying because her daughter is dead.

The icing on the fucking cake (so far - there's always tomorrow!) is the Pistons losing. I was REALLY hoping they'd win - but apparantly they were into giving gifts - because the Spurs totally shouldn't have won that game.

:cry:

Sucks.

9. Great effort guys

Hold your heads up. Too many threes at the end for San Antonio.

[Telly Savalas]

12. It could be much, much worse Pistons fans.

Hold your heads high. You've got a great team that you can be proud of. Unlike some of us poor souls:



Or our poor comrades in Southern California who won't see their team in the playoffs for another decade:

23. LOL (nt)

[Robeson]

13. You guys have a great team, but not quite as great as one of my alltime...

...favorite Pistons teams....

The Bad Boys...

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

15. Hey I know he wasn't a starter, but Vinnie "Microwave" Johnson is

missing from the pic...

"He heats up fast!"

[Robeson]

17. Nice call. Yes, he was a big part.

[Strawman]

14. Proud of the Pistons

They showed alot of heart. Almost pulled it off and Ben was awesome. Went to game three at the Palace and I'll never forget his steal and dunk to start the game. Spurs are a good team. It's a small consolation that we had a great ride and at least we didn't lose to some asshole like Kobe.

[tarkus]

16. I might not care much about B- Ball... but I hate to see a TX team win.

Especially against such a respectable northern democratic stronghold as Detroit.

[tarkus]

19. Of course, that wasn't meant to offend Texas people...

I wouldn't dream of going so far as to mess with Texas. That would be out of line.

[fleabert]

20. san antonio is a great town, don't diss them!

detroit and san antonio are two of the classiest teams in the nba, no trash talk.

[GOPisEvil]

25. Hey the part of town that contains the SBC Center is represented by a Dem.

Charlie Gonzales. :-)

[fleabert]

18. wonderful three game series...

the first four were out of control for everyone...

amazing game 7, you guys really put in an amazing effort. GREAT GAME! I love/hate a nailbiter!

[judaspriestess]

21. Hey don't hate

they both put up a great game. Props to both teams!!!

It took 7 games to decide the champions. Now that is real basketball. something we have not seen in a long time.

Pistons should be nothing but proud!!

GO SPURS GO!! NBA Champs 05'

[fleabert]

22. oh, I ain't hatin'! not at all! nt

[ScreamingMeemie]

24. Pistons Bobbleheads 75% off at Kroger...I kid you not.

;)

[AngryAmish]

26. If it's any consolation,

there were probably fewer fires since they lost.

[GOPisEvil]

27. I have a lot of respect for Larry Brown and the Pistons.

I'm obviously happy my team won, but I would have been ok with the Pistons winning after the initial disappointment passed. Larry was the coach in San Antonio for a few years, and helped make the organization what it is today. I hope he regains full health and returns to coaching.

[caty]

28. Very proud of the Pistons!!

They played 7 great games.

[muchacho]

29. Pistons were great

But the Spurs were better...

SPURS 2006!!!!!!!!!
