Why I hate the Pistons
These four games are the first four Pistons games I have watched in their entirety since last season and I have come to this conclusion: It is not at all a coincidence that they get "lucky" and a key player on the opposing team always gets hurt against them. The play such dirty, thuggish basketball that its a wonder more people don't get hurt against them. Yes, they hustle. Yes, they play hard, but the fact is a ref could blow the whistle every 5 seconds or so and there would be a foul on the Pistons that could be called. I haven't seen Chauncey Billups handle the ball once this series without pushing off on someone, the Wallaces hit anyone who comes in the lane. And it ruins the flow of the game and has made these two games unwatchable.
For the first 3 quarters of games 1 and 2, you had good, hard played, well defended basketball before the Spurs really kicked it in gear. That was fun to watch and really was just the Pistons and Spurs putting on clinics in good basketball. Games 3 and 4 have been ugly and filled with the kind of thuggery that has been KILLING the NBA since Jordan's retirement.
