The infamous Game 5..1 day later...it still hurts...Where's Memo???

Well, now I have had time to think about the game for a full day. I truthfully haven't got it out of my head for a single second. I feel like Aaron Boone just hit a homer. Chauncey's shot still was amazing.

But, now it is time for my complaining. First off, the refs called 83 fouls. I know the game went on FOREVER, but that is way too many foul calls. The game was ended with the end of the benches for both teams. The players on the court for both teams put out an amazing effort.

My next few questions are specifically on Larry Brown's thinkings. I know hindsight is great, but these thoughts were spoken at the time. In Overtime the Nets were without ALL of their big men. Where the hell were Elden Campbell and Mehmet Okur??? Me, Big Papa, and my friends Jason and Stoney were all talking and asking for Memo to enter the game. They were struggling to cover Corliss, if you would have put two big guys out there they would have never stopped us from scoring.

There were way too many PHANTOM FOULS in this game. Kenyon Martin got hosed at least twice. BEN WALLACE GETS NO RESPECT CONSIDERING HE SHOULD HAVE WON THE LAST 4 DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR AWARDS. Rip Hamilton's last two fouls were pathetic. Tayshaun Prince got called for a foul when Richard Jefferson did nothing more than dive to the ground. The refs didnt decide the game because they were equally horrible to both teams. But, they were far from consistent. Billups got hit on the last two drives to the hole in regulation and got zero whistles.

Now to the important part. IT WILL TAKE A MIRACLE FROM HERE FOR THE PISTONS TO ADVANCE. I would put the odds at about 30-1. I can't imagine the Pistons will even stay close tomorrow. GOD, I HOPE I AM WRONG. What a waste of a wonderful season. Never lived up to the Hype. I HATE THE NEW JERSEY NETS.

I may add more later, but for now I am done. I hate the fact that we lost that game. When Billups hit that shot the Pistons looked destined to win the game. WRONG.

God, I am so tired of hearing about Carlisle and Carmelo. Well Boys, thanks for making it so we will not ever hear the end of it.
