Get it together Pistons!
Alright, I don’t know what in the hell is going on, but the Pistons really need to get their shit together.
They’ve now had two chances to close out the Bulls and have not done so either time.
Safe to say they’re really blowing it.
I mean, you do NOT want to give the Bulls an opportunity to come back.
Now they’re headed back to Chicago only up one game.
Remember the first two games of the series, when the Pistons absolutely embarrassed and destroyed the Bulls?
Well, that’s what the Bulls have done to us the past two games.
I don’t know why the Pistons do this to themselves.
They get comfortable with a lead, whether it be in a game or a series, and they totally sit back and just expect to win.
They think they can wait till the fourth quarter when they’re down 20 and just make some miraculous comeback.
Well obviously, that ain’t the case.
This series is already reminding me of last year when we went seven games with the Cavs.
Sure if the Pistons lose game six tomorrow in Chicago and come back to Detroit for game seven, they’ll probably win.
But what the hell? They should have swept them or at LEAST beat them in five.
Now I know damn well the Pistons are a better team than the Bulls.
They’ve already proved it so I don’t get why they’re bullshitting around.
Chris Webber: STEP YOUR GAME UP! PLEASE! What the hell are you doing?!
Get it together Pistons…or else you’ll wind up losing just like last year.

There are a few problems here: 1) Chris Webber has suddenly aged 15 years and seems to have no idea what he’s doing on the court; 2) There are huge stretches where the Pistons offense is composed almost entirely of Rip lowering his shoulder and running into the biggest opposing player on the court, begging for calls he’s just not getting (a la Vince Carter against the Cavs; and 3) The Pistons are thinking too much, passing up open shots and trying to force passes instead of letting the offense develop.
