Pistons Have the Kryptonite for Game 1

Not only are the Pistons resorting to name calling and "game-talking", but we got demolished in Detroit in Game 1.

That was a sorry excuse for trying in Game 1. It was downright horrible. The Pistons 'D' absolutely shut down Dwight Howard and he couldn't get much going on offense, defense, or any other -fense. Stupid joke, I know, but it gets the point across. We played bad, real bad. And using that trash talking to get the Magic upset, is exactly what we need to be able to take Game 2. Were not in the playpen anymore, this is the second round, the Conference Semis boys. Time to take off the training wheels and play like big boys. These are the bad boys. The ones from down the street that shove you in the dirt and call you names. Its time to fight back.

As Yahoo says it, "The Detroit Pistons beat up Orlando physically and mentally. They shoved Dwight Howard out of his comfort zone and pushed the Magic’s buttons during heated exchanges, leading to Detroit’s 91-72 win Saturday night in Game 1 of their second-round series.

'Mentally, we have to keep our heads,' Howard said. 'Detroit is going to talk and push. We knew that coming in, but we got too frustrated.'"


Hedo Turkoglu led the Magic with 8-16 shooting for 18 Pts to go along with 7 Rebs, 4 Assists. Howard finished with only 12 points and 8 rebounds.
