I listen to local and national sports talk radio throughout most of everyday. I can tell you first hand, that the people blaming anybody but the Pistons themselves is a VERY small percentage. Most will acknowledge the refs have been poor, which cannot be denied. I would probably lean towards the Pistons having a slightly higher percentage of bad calls going against them (with no statistical certainty, just a gut feeling). But, I would estimate that 60-70% of thsoe that think there are bad calls, think the Pistons need to overcome the officials. 25-30% of them think that the Pistons need to quit whining, and 1 caller every day or two mentions the possibility of a conspiracy. I think Detroit fans are always on the defensive because of all the negative publicity our area gets.
mxracercam, did you know that a large portion of Pistons fans throw beers at the Pacers players?

I thought of it as a pure gesture of goodwill.  Don't be so damn defensive, I swear that you act like a large portion of the Pistons fans when someone disagrees with you, and even more so when they actually prove a flaw in your argument. 
^being sarcastic, i always anticipate heated debates regarding sports. none of us are ever completely objective, except for mxracercam, because he hates sports because he is enormously fat.

Nice try, completely inapplicable. I've watched countless games at The Palace and there's only been one such incident. So I wouldn't believe what you're saying. I would, however, say a large portion of the people in the first few sections of the stands threw beers at the Pacers players after that game was called.

I would say a large portion of the few that didn't run for their lives threw items at the Pacers after that game.

This series is crazy. As unbeatable as SA looked in games 1 and 2, the Pistons have looked even better in 3 and 4. 4 Games, 4 blowouts...I'm confused.

So true, this has actually turned out to be exciting. I thought I would be watching a boring, beat em' up Finals this year. There's D. but it's been a gooooood series!
