dude, look at the standings. The bucks are no longer a lock for 6th; 4 games separate Milwaukee, Miami, charlotte, Boston, and Indiana. What if we play Miami or Charlotte in the 3v6 matchup?

Bad feeling about this game. Pistons have been playing better as of late.

Raptor fans never learn. AVOID PIERCE AT ALL COSTS. This is like when we were all hoping to match up with VC and the Nets in 07. Pierce has repeatedly killed us, AVOID HIM.

Amir fouling out in the BEGINNING of the 4th in game 7 is why we lost. Thats a move manufactured by the league and the refs.

Was at that game. It's crazy how much more glaring the bad officiating is when you're there in person.

That was one of the worst officiated games in NBA history. The second I saw Joey Crawford's bald head during warmups I knew it was over.

That's why if we play miami, we screwed. The league would love a heat vs cavs 2nd round .
I want the bucks the most, wizards would also get over us cause they have. Bigger names

This could go either way. Pistons don't want to tank at this point. Raps play down to the level of their competition. Most likely a close game.

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

Monroe has been out for 4 games now and we've won 3 games out of the 4. Monroe is a good player but the team obviously plays better with spacing instead of having two centers out there. I'm definitely rooting for losses at this point though instead of meaningless wins but considering Drummond always sucks ass against Val this should be a win for you guys, I hope.

:lol: WTF, I don't understand why he struggles with Val so bad. Val is a very good player so I'm not saying that but Drummond just downright plays like **** against him.
