We will never get past the Pistions even if they are 90 years old if we dont get guards on our team.
My 2 cents is worth 5 cents.

It's the first game, man. Relax. The Magic have choked the entire playoffs so far shooting-wise, though, and it doesn't seem like they'll start making shots any time soon either.

This is why I'm glad we have SVG.

He'll let the team know what needs to be changed to make the next game more competitive.

Van Gundy can say all he wants but the fact is, we don't have the guard play or enough depth in the front court to compete with Detroit. In addition, Howard is reverting to his old self again. We still lack talent in several areas.

Detroit is just a much better team. Don't be fooled by the raptors series. Everyone looks like an allstar against the raptors.

its no secret we need to first look at SG in the offseason, atleast a defensive minded player...getting 7-8pts from our starting guard that isnt a real good defender wont cut it in the playoffs..

He got FT's, but all the fouls were NOT on Nelson

for how long this team had to prepare, especially considering the piston just finished their series the other day, todays performance was pretty pathetic

With how bad the shooting was, and off Dwight was, i cant believe it was even this close

Mogans sucked.
Overall defense sucked.
Rebounding sucked, (Please Use More Appropriate Word) turnover sucked.
Nelson wasn't great nor was he very good, but he didn't SUCK.
