That last call should've either been a jump ball or a foul on the floor (with no shot). I can't say either way whether or not he got fouled or if it was a jump ball, but I do know i t should have a been an and one...

T-mac clearly stole the ball w/o fouling billups...then he was fouled hard on his way up but there was no call..then howard got the ball ..jamp up...was fouled...made the put back...made the freethrow...

rasheed wasn't fouled on the last play of the game..


pistons had 90% of the calls in their favor today and STILL lost.

Exciting game to watch..i was still excited when magic were down 7 with under 8 minutes to go in the game..

in fact..i was excited throughout the entire game..

I was actually lobbying for 3 seconds..

This team gets me so excited for games knowing what they can do, but right now I'm just so frustrated. 7 games in a row against .500 opponents, we need to win them all...

hehe..Magic are < .500

and how can you notice a 3 second in such a crucial time of the game..

i guess they couldln't call a 3 second violation (i dont know if there was a 3 second or not but)... mcgrady attacked the basket and didn't get the call..so they can't just call a 3 second like that if they arent going to call the foul...


ANother instance: McGrady went for a dunk and was fouled in a game winning decision..no call... refs just swallowed their wistles..

refs dont call fouls at the end most of the time..

How did you all feel about Rasheed's performance?

[PistonFAN81]

wait I think that I read that Det had 90% of the calls in our favor? Thats just not right, I mean all tracet does is jump into people had pertend like he got fouled. Anytime he is around the ball its a foul because he didn't make it. I also thought that wallace did good, I mean it wasn't the greatest game but he contributed like I knew that he would. It was weird though, I could really tell that chucky wasn't there anymore it was really kinda weird and all

What joke, T-Mac was fouled after the steal? Get over yourself. The Magic got lucky as hell and slopped out a win, the basketball gods gave them one back for Stricklands horrible play against LA.

Come back in two weeks when Sheed and James have actually had a chance to practice with the team.

[rainman]

is rasheed going to get that many minutes down the road, what is the outlook for memo?

[jackiejackal]

That shot fell way short..no foul.

[fear the fro]

Finals contender? What a joke...The Pistons haven't played an all around good game in about a month. I don't if everyone on the team is freaking named Wallace, if the Pistons play like that every night we'll be lucky to get out of the first round. No effort on D, bad free throw shooting, general poor execution...losing to Orlando at home with Rasheed can't be a good sign. And another bad sign-I don't think Rasheed scored once off a low post move, which is what our team was lacking in the first place (along with the ability to play for prolonged periods of time without sucking.)

Maybe I just take their losses too seriously, but I'm not feeling good about the Pistons' chances this season.

Looks like John Gabriel, GM of the Magic, is on his way out. Expected to get the axe tomorrow. It's a shame, maybe the Magic will get to be good next year and they won't be the object of ridicule.

[DetBNyce]

Sorry Mike i couldn't resist...

[jvanbusk]

Bump.

Another game against this powerhouse coming up next. Thought I'd bring it back up to the top. Can start a new game thread if you want, but I thought it would be nice to look back on this thread....

[MLKG]

I saw in the community thread that you were going to bump a thread and I knew this was coming.
