July 23rd and its FREE, did you guys here that, its FREE. They do ask that you bring some meat to "add to the kitty", but its no biggie. This a big BBQ given by Sports Radio AM1130 "The Fan" every year, kinda like a listener appreciation thing and also to protest against PETA, with MEATA which actually means this, guys eating alot of meat! Last year they had a pig that was just living 3 days earlier and let me tell you this, with the BBQ they added to the mix, the pork sandwiches were AWESOME  Come on out and say hello, they'd love to have you out there and did I mention its FREE

Even though it was the first game, a TWELVE POINT win and it was there, what a win  Oh and BTW, they're talkin' about how the announcers were biased, no way, not someone picking against the Pistons and/or Detroit, that never happens  I remember back in 90' when the Pistons beat the Trailblazers they lost game #2 and then won it at home in 5 games, could history repeat itself  GO PISTONS!

Well, that's how it's been all year... The Pistons hold a team in the 70s and everyone in the media says "that's because the Eastern Conference sucks and nobody can score..." San Antonio and L.A. play a game in this year's playoffs that the Spurs win 73-72 and everyone is falling all over themselves talking about "what a defensive struggle and these 2 teams play FANTASTIC defense and blah blah blah..."  I think the Pistons went out there and showed some people that they're for real and deserve to be in the Finals... Am I saying they're gonna sweep? No way. But they've got a damn good chance at winning this thing. Good production off the bench from Grandpa Elden, even a couple clutch buckets from Corliss (still playing his Matador Defense though). The benches are going to be crucial for both teams and last night the Laker bench never even came over from the team hotel. And BTW Roger, the Pistons won both of those titles on the road... had the league's best record both years so they had home-court advantage. It'd be nice for them to win a title at home one of these years.  The Tigers and Wings have done it in my lifetime so now it's their turn.

Yeppers, the Pistons won 3 straight in Portland...that was a pretty amazing feat considering they were nearly unbeatable at home at that time.

I say this to the national sports media...GO F&#K YOURSELVES AND GO PISTONS! I'm sick and tired of the big market bias towards LA and NY teams. The world doesn't revolve around them, so get your head out of your ARSE national media and give the Pistons their due, they've earned it!!!

The Pistons are gonna take the lakers in six. If they play like they did sunday, the series is won. Rip needs to perform better. We need not focus all our attention o shaq and kobe. They are good players, but they arnt the laker. The lakers consist more of just 2 players We need to focus on the team as a whole. if ir werent for rush, they would have lost that game.

They didn't focus all their attention on Shaq and Kobe... they let them score and made sure everyone else got defended as opposed to most other teams that double down on Kobe and/or Shaq every time they touch the ball. Malone, Payton, George and Fisher proved the point that if they have to create their own shot as opposed to firing up open jumpers all night the team goes NOWHERE.
And I'm sorry if I'm not understanding you correctly, but are you saying that if it weren't for Kareem Rush going scoreless that Detroit would've lost the game? Come on, man... you're talking about a guy that isn't even averaging 4 points a game in the playoffs in 14 minutes per game... scored 10 or more TWICE in 18 games in the playoffs. Has one good game in the postseason and all of a sudden he's the Laker MVP. I hardly think he's the make-or-break guy for the Lakers.

Well Detroit blew that game. The officating was horrible; but what can we expect? The next 3 games are in Detroit. I like our odds.
