[Box score] What the hell was that? That’s the worst playoff game I can remember since this team started its run in 2003.

How do I even recap the Pistons efforts? I’m having a hard time not doing this whole thing in caps. They didn’t score a field goal in the 3rd quarter! They missed 17 straight shots. Twenty-three f’n turnovers! Tayshaun Prince (8/9 for 19), Rip Hamilton (9/18 for 23), and Jason Maxiell’s block on Reggie-Reggie-Reggie Evans were the only things positive worth mentioning for for Detroit.

Chauncey and Rasheed played especially shitty. I thought Rasheed was a good post defender? Dalembert ate him alive.

The Sixers had a great crowd and they really fed off it. They had ALL the energy last night. They swarmed like bees to honey and it helped that the refs had loose whistles. But, please don’t misconstrue that as me blaming the refs, I ‘m just pointing out the whistle patterns favored the Sixers frantic play. They got their hands on everything.

I’ve never subscribed to the notion that father time has caught up to the ‘Stonz, but they looked down right geriatric last night. The Pistons tried to play Philly’s style of ball but were unable. The Pistons couldn’t stop the Sixers going to the hoop, and they themselves can’t finish when they try hard drives to the bucket.

I’d like Chauncey to recant his statement he made on 50 Greatest night when he said he’d take these Pistons over the Bad Boys. The Bad Boys actually got up for the playoffs. Where’s the pride?

There’s my vent/recap. Hopefully I can get my glass half full before game 4. Get well soon, Dice’s nose.
