Sour Grapes Billups

The funny thing too is that Posey has won a title, so if Billups wants to play to pretend that the C’s excitement means they aren’t ready for the playoffs, he’s barking up the wrong tree.

Does Billups not realize that every time a call is made against Detroit that Rasheed Wallace freaking blows up and whines his way into a technical foul? Sour grapes for the whole team.

It’s even now, they got their win, we got ours…(thanks to Big Baby)

It seems the Cs passed their mid-term exam. Glen Davis can finish with either hand down low. It bodes well for his development as a player. He has a nose for the ball and he hustles after loose balls.

I read this earlier today and I can only say one thing, what a d-bag.

not making too much of it. billups and co. have always downplayed their losses (most especially in the playoffs), body language notwithstanding.

This Edwards guy is hilarious. Random Piston fans should never receive the benefit of the doubt when there’s an altercation involving a player(s).

Talk about getting carried away! The comments by Billups were not that far off base, if at all. Predictably, people here get all torqued up about it.

And what difference does it make if Wallace leads the league in technicals? He can play and is good enough to give the best power forwards like Duncan and Garnett trouble.

Anyway, it was a fun game to watch. The C’s probably did need the W more than Detroit, so it was great to see them succeed. If they want to win a series against these guys, however, they’ll need to get a heck of a lot better play from Rondo and Perkins.

Jeff, love your take on it. The Pistons are a great team and I still wouldn’t want to face them in a 7 game series, but they act as if they’ve won the last 4 titles. They could probably afford to get a little more excited over some regular season games. In each of the last two years they were been beaten by the “East’s newcomer” (Heat, Cavs).

Well, same can be said for Detroit. They certainly have to play better to beat the C’s in a 7 game series as well. They couldn’t even make adjustments to beat the Cavs last year and they didn’t in this game either when Big Baby went off. Can they make adjustments? We’ll see. Detroit has not proved it recently.

They are only whining because the loss hurt. Look at it this way, did San Antonio care when the Celtics celbrated on their court last year? No because the Celtics were not a threat to anyone. Chauncey is only whining and saying the Celtics are not ready for the playoffs because he knows they are. Detroit fans are only claiming the game was meaningless, like they would be claiming the same had they won, because they know it is not.

Enthusiasm is never a bad thing.

jv_squad, they are going to lose to this years newcomer as well.

Funny because before the game all I kept reading about was how Detroit was pumped for the game and felt like it was big game they needed to win to prove they were still top dog in the East…. Then they lose and pretend like they didn’t really care afterall. What a joke.
