Orlando Still Believes They're Better Than Detroit

[RipCity32]

Lmao I know.


But seriously, there is no good reason to it, it's cause ya'll like to argue with me.

I'm not digging the double-standards :'(

I believe that Detroit was and is better than Cleveland, so it wasn't me.

 

[RipCity32]

I know, I'm just saying in general..

But for real, I think I was wrong when I said it too.
I mean you can have one bad game, but if you have 4 bad games it's a pattern, which means it's always going to happen.
I mean if the series went 7 games it would be a different story, but if it goes 4/5/6 games you just got straight up outplayed and got beat.

I was wrong to say it last year, I should of admitted defeat. But when you get beat in 5 games I don't get how you can say this...that's all.

 

[DJT]

Eh...teams can have bad streaks to. I mean look at Portland, they won like 15 straight then just died.

 

[RipCity32]

But I think it's just a huge excuse for any team. You could get swept and just say we are having a bad series. It even sounds worst after you make it out of the 1st round in DOMINATING fashion. You don't win a series and just have a bad series the next one after. Not to mention when we have our MVP out of the line-up, can't forget about that.

[DJT]

Eh...i'm mainly talking about in general, not the Pistons - Magic series.

I know so am I, but I'm relating it to this series too. It's all the same though lol.

 

[Mr.Dj5]

i hope cavs win today and boston KILLS cavs the next game

Eh I somewhat disagree. If your a true fan, you KNOW how good your team is. And every team has bad games, even in a series to 7. Just cause they played like crap for 1 series or 1 game, doesn't mean they aren't the better team. It just means the other team was a better team in that game or series of games.

A true good team doesn't allow themselves to have terrible games when it counts. So it doesn't matter. If you are a truly better team you will find a way to not lose the series, I mean you can have 3 games in a series.

Even if you are truly the better team, it doesn't mean you should be saying it to the press. You lost, take it like a man.

DH > Sheed
Magic coaching > Pistons coaching

 

[RipCity32]

DH > Sheed
Magic coaching > Pistons coaching

Howard is better than Sheed correct, but Sheed kept Howard to a level were it alowd the Pistons to win the games. Which is why he said Sheed>Howard. Sheed made Howard look like he shouldn't of been a All NBA 1st Team member.

And if the Magic coaching was better shouldn't of they won the series?
2 Pistons assistant coaches BTW have spoken with teams to get the head coaching jobs. Terry Porter and Michael Curry.. Well not spoken yet, Dumars didn't grant the permission for both teams to do it.

Sorry for the bump, but I want you guys to look at it this way:

Utah Jazz had the best regular season record with somewhere around 32-4. 2 of those 4 losses came to the Miami Heat and New York Knicks. And you can't possibly say the Knicks or the Heat are better than the Jazz. (Now I know someone will try to argue about them being the better team for that game, but I'm talking about overall, not just that game.)

 

[RipCity32]

Cause they would of won a 7 games series against them right?
