ok this is getting absolutely ridiculous. it seems like everytime the pistons make a decent comeback about 3 terrible calls are made in a row to lead to a quick spurs run to up their lead. dan crawford needs to be kicked in the nuts along with the entire rest of the league's officials. while i agree that the spurs have been the agressor and their lead was earned, the officials seem to have had a nice hand in maintaining the lead or bumping it back up.



Don't blame the officials for last night. The Spurs are destroying us in every aspect of the game. The Pistons look absolutely awful and need to pull their heads out of their asses and start playing basketball. The Spurs are playing like last years Pistons. They are everywhere, always in the right spot, always making the tough shot. I think the Pistons would beat any other team in the league, but I am not sure at this point that they have a chance. To win 4 of 5 from the Spurs will be damn near impossible. It's a shame, the Pistons have a team that CAN play with the Spurs, not sure why they are playing so brutally right now.

Much respect to SA.



i'm not blaming the officials for the loss last night. i absolutely have respect for san antonio and the other teams the pistons beat in the playoffs. with how bad the pistons played they did deserve to lose game 2 as well as game 1. but, when the pistons had knocked the lead down to 8, i counted three VERY questionable calls which bumped san antonio's lead back up to a 15 point lead. when the pistons were fighting back, there were also many times in which they drove the ball to the basket and were hacked or slapped on the arm and no whistles were blown. sure the spurs had their fair share of fouls, but if you're gonna be touchy about some calls, at least dont do it when it matters. everytime there was a bad call on san antonio, it seemed like, "oh well we're still up by 20." and when the game got close the whistles turned to detroit.

maybe the piston's only chance is if rasheed guarantees another victory, but i think that might not even be enough to stop the red-hot spurs.
