Parade in Detroit

Your first playoff win since 2008... Congratulations.

Your first playoff win since 2008... Congratulations.

Why do you feel the need to do stuff like this?

You are such a hater.

Really gotta work on avoiding the Brunson generated fouls.

Great effort as a team on defense tonight. Especially without one of their best defenders, if not their best.

Looking forward to Thursday. Won’t be the same A-Listers courtside though. Detroit can’t hang with the likes of Fat Joe.

Thanks. Glad to get that monkey off our backs.
Now we just need 3 more wins this round.

There will not yet be a parade. Unlike the Pacers, we know what those are for.

So who do you root for when the Pacers play the Nuggets? I wouldn't think that a guy who roots for 2 NBA teams that have a grand total of 1 NBA championship between them would have much reason to crow... but you be you.

At least he doesn't have to worry about it happening in meaningful postseason games.

David Stern did not want us to face the Spurs in the 2005 finals, because we were both afterthought small markets... There it is.

Feel the same way at age 37 as I did at age 16... Let's just say I'm sticking up for the young me.

As long as you continue to make the same, shallow-minded "zero championships" post, you can expect a similar shallow-minded post in response...

And you may retaliate with as many facepalms until your system goes dead, but that's just how it's going to go.

Deal with it.

FWIW the Heat and Lakers won't be facing off in any meaningful playoff games, either.

Sure is an odd amount of trash talk coming out of the Motor City for a team that just won its first two playoff games in a generation this past week...

And they wanted Detroit because it is such a major market? This argument makes absolutely zero sense. Your whole conspiracy theory is completely bonkers. If it was all rigged it would be Boston, New York, Philla, DC, any major market that would have been chosen, not Detroit.

You deserve every facepalm that I give you for continuing with this bizarre belief that Stern made Artest assult a fan in the stands and somehow had special feeling for Detroit and wanted to keep Indy down. Your team made the finals in 2000 and lost, you had a window. I'm not sorry that Detroit closed it for you, but it was not some league conspiracy that did it.

Where? Where is the trash talk?
They've played a great series against a heavily favored NYK. THe league admits they missed a call that would likely have the Pistons up 3-2 instead of down.
Yet, what trash talk are you referring to?

And Stern felt this way in November of the season? Sure that Indiana would make the Finals, even though Detroit was the defending champions and there were other contenders in the East.
Wow! You are another level of delusional.

YOU NEED TO LET IT GO.

In 2005, the Pacers were 6 or 7 seed. It was difficult for a lower seed then to go to the NBA Finals.

What Detroit fans are talking shit about the surprising season the Pistons had?

I haven’t even talked shit about bein hockey national freaking champions. With $0 in NIL money. Built, not bought.

That’s how Stern got em.

He made Ron Artest be a crazy person. And Stephen Jackson a stupid, crazy person. Leading to their poor seeding for the tourney.

And he prevented Reg’ from even trying to dunk.
