San Antonio is scary. I still am not particularly scared of the Heat. For the two matchup problems they pose for the Pistons on the offensive end, the Pistons offer 5 matchup problems for the Heat (starters + McDyess - Ben).
If Wade starts to go off, they will switch up Prince and Hamilton to guard him and Prince can legitimately shutdown just about anyone in the league at the 2 and 3 spots. On the offensive end Hamilton will cause problems for Wade, and his constant motion is a bear for defenders. Rarely does someone defending Rip go off on the offensive end.

Damn, everyone was right, the Pistons don't stand a chance against this Heat team with all that depth.

Lol, man am I the only one that sees the huge bias in favor of the Heat from the announcers? And I loved Jamie Foxx after the game was over saying that game #2 is the one to watch and the Pistons are no fun to watch. What a moron. Once again, Pistons dont get the respect they deserve. I can't say I'm surprised.

The game announcers were fairly objective. Afterwards, the Heat are more glamourous...

Please. Cry me a river. Most people are picking the Pistons to win this series. Do you really need Brent Musberger to like you before you get 'respect'?
I guess complaining about not getting 'respect' is the cool thing to do nowadays.

It's easy to feel sensitive when you are a Detroit fan...I will admit, they are getting a lot more respect from some of the media compared to recent years. Many people recently have been giving Detroit's team credit for posing matchup problems for Miami.
I disagree with your comment that most people were picking the Pistons to win the series. Vegas had Miami as the favorites to win this series prior to this game. If a majority of people thought the Pistons would win, the betting would have reflected that.

Not crying just pointing out the facts. We were saying the same thing about the respect issue last year too.

Don't worry about Jamie Fox Tim, you will not hear from him anymore as his academy award was a real "one and done". The bias is always against the Detroit teams and with the ways of the world today, you'd think people would LOVE the Pistons, i.e. hard work, no hype, no on or off court problems, hall of fame coach, hall of fame GM, hustle, hustle and more hustle. As far as them not being fun to watch, as the rest of the teams that entered the playoffs if they'd like to be on our team right now Pistons in 6.
