I'm more impressed the Pistons overcame a lack of matching t shirts and thuinderstix. Forget brutal officiating. I’m more impressed the Pistons overcame a lack of matching t shirts and thuinderstix.

When a team is being out-shot 30% to 50% and has double the turnovers of their opponents, there's no way in hell that they should be in the game. That was absolutely ridiculous. One thing I'd like to point out though is how well the Pistons handled getting the shaft. Usually officiating is one of those things that cause this team to implode in the playoffs. I was really impressed with how they stayed composed (especially Sheed) and put the game away. I totally agree.
