I won't watch but I hope the Raptors win

 

[Mitchrapp]

Amen to that. I'm sick of the Warriors. So sick that I'm rooting for Toronto.

 

[biggunsbob]

Go Warriors! They play a great brand of basketball !

they don't play too much different than anybody else...they just have a stacked team.

They definitely play a different game to the Pistons...

I'll be rooting for the Warriors still. They are fun to watch (Toronto is too when Lowry is on), and for every team outside Michigan that's the only thing I care about. And really, they are the dream for any fan. Nobody WANTS their team to be a massive playoff disappointment for years just to luck into landing a disgruntled superstar and maybe, hopefully be better than they were. If we could choose, we'd have a team of homegrown superstars that load up even more when the chance presents itself, steamrolling opponents and setting records.

So yeah, I'd rather GS fans get to experience the dream.

well...the Pistons suck!

GS fans have had enough...fuck them. Let Toronto fans get a taste. I don't think Toronto has ever won a title.

I just hope GS loses, KD leaves and there might be a little mystery as to who will win next year.

The Pistons would have been the Warriors if they had drafted one player differently.
So tired of us fucking up the draft


Darko.

Wade.
Carmelo.
Bosch.

Warriors didn't need a top top pick. Curry went 7, Thompson went 11, Green was a 2nd rounder. And of course Durant, FA. They drafted better than just about everyone / got super lucky. We needed more than Wade/Carmelo/Bosch to become the Warriors.

I did say draft better. That includes later rounds also. But with one of those three o bet we win 3 or 4 titles.

Not a chance. They didn't win 3-4 titles with Lebron.

If they draft one of those 3 they may never have traded for Sheed. They might have never one a single title.

My opinion is that the would have . You have yours and I have mine. For crying out loud they made it to three Conference Finals in a row under Saunders, and that was after the back to back title appearances. Who knows maybe they draft Wade and still trade for Sheed. It?s the classic what if. My guess is any of those three picks and the pistons win multiple titles.

The closest Detroit has had to a hated team was the Red Wings I guess.
The Wingss have had huge stretches of both great and terrible.
The Lions were damn good in the 1950?s.
The Pistons had mini runs. Both of which could have lasted longer with a break or too.
The Tigers 11 World Series apperences and only 4 titles For a team that has been
Around since 1894, and 1901 in the AL. Tigers have a lot of barren periods of baseball
Sadly.



I just want the Pistons to be as hated as the Warriors are.
I just want the Lions to be as hated as New England.
I just wanted the Tigers to be San Francisco from 2006-15. Tigers wasted
So much talent it?s not even funny anymore.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Take the Lions out of it they haven't had the talent to win ever. The Wings we saw a bunch of Title wins, more than most in that time. Pistons too. Tigers at least were competitive.. It's not like were huge favorites or anything. And lastly, shit happens.

 

[biggunsbob]

Raptors lead 25-21 after one quarter.
Raptors lead 59-49 at halftime.

 

[biggunsbob]

Halftime thoughts.

9 day lay off ,and Missing KD and it shows. They stopped Leonard but Gasol, and Siakam have 14 and 12 each. Curry has 13 but 3-10 is a awful percentage. Let?s see if Warriors 3rd Court Magic continues. Toronto is playing great defense lead by Vanvleet. I am so pissed the Pistons didn?t try and get him after the draft that year. I loved his game at Witcha State.

Raptors beating Warriors in the third. They look like the fresher more rested team to me. Defensively they are doing a number on the warriors so far with 3:56 left in the third.
They are up 9 but it feels like a lot more as they are pretty hot.

 

[biggunsbob]

Man so many late whistles on both ends . Let them play ref!

 

[biggunsbob]

Warriors only out score Raptors 32-29 in the third as turnovers continue to plague them, and untilmley buckets by the Raptors when the shot clock has run down. They have hit 2 pray long threes at the buzzer. Still Toronto leads 88-81 heading to the fourth with Leonard only shooting 4-12.
