Oh of course not, Pippen in my opinion was the greatest role player in the history of basketball, and I ranked him in my all time top 20 (i should post those shouldnt i?).

I think Pippen couldnt handle it for various reasons. One was during the first 3 peat he endured similar criticism to what kobe went through; that it was mj (or shaq in kobes case) that won those rings, not pippen. Scottie knew how valuable he was, and he finally had his chance to prove it in 1994. He led them to 55 wins and finally he was in a position that Jordan was maybe most famous for, about to take a game winning shot. Instead they drew the play up for Kukoc, who was also a source of frustration for Pippen but thats another story.

I understand why pip couldnt handle it, but one can only imagine the negative impact it would have had on scotties career had kukoc not made that shot and had MJ not returned?

apart from last years Game 7, all of Rasheed predictions have been true.

The thing i love about his predictions is that he steps up and start playing harder. Pistons win the next 2.

The thing i like about players who talk shit before a series is officially over...they end up eating their own shit. Tracy mcgrady, artest AND rasheed anyone?

What now bitches?..Cavs have fullfilled my prediction. How many times do they have to prove themselves to get some respect?

I was dismayed when Rip didn't go to the line at the end. It looks like all of a sudden Detroit doesn't get any respect because LeBron showed up in the playoffs. And the jump ball called between Ben and Damon was just absurd.

Yes...lets blame the refs...thats the theme this year. I could name a couple bad calls against the cavs...but no one does that when they're team wins..only when they loose. :roll:

Everyone knows LeBron is protected by the NBA and star focus > team focus in the NBA.

But the Pistons shouldn't have stooped to the Cavs level and scored only 72 points. They have to take the game out of the refs' hands next time.

Seriously..shut up. If what u are saying is true..then kobe or bron would've gotten the mvp. The low scoring was in favor of the pistons...they pride themselves on low scoring games and good defence. If you don't know what you're talking about....shut up.

Playing harder doesnt mean he plays better. 3-13,7 points, 6 rebounds, 3 turnovers and a loss.

Rasheed has reached Barkley levels of stupidity.

Rasheed is a complete moron... not only do his predictions make him seem completely arrogant, he also puts extra pressure on his teammates by firing up the opposing team and guaranteeing the fans a win. Dumbass.

Like I said earlier, it's time for Sheed to eat his words.... again.

First he said there would be a sweep, and then he guarnteed this game.

I'm a witness.

Cavs never sieze to amaze me. I didnt think they could win back to back games against Detroit and what did they do "win back to back games ahgainst Detroit." Still havent watched a single game since LAs departure but this series makes for good boxscores. (y)

All I can say is, suck shit Sheed you fat oaf! I bet he aint gonna predict nothin' anymore.

I really do think the Cavs have a chance (slim one) at beating Detroit. I predicted 4-1 to Detroit, but looks like it may be 4-3 either way.

actually Rashed already said this series is over and he's not sweating :P

Pistons just need to kick up the intensity level and start playing ball in the 4th. 4th quarter choke jobs cost them last year big time.

2-2, no ones stressing on the Pistons side....now, will the real Detroit start playing.

If you listened to any of their post game interviews, the entire Pistons team sounds cocky and shows no respect to their opponent whatsoever. It's the reason I can't stand this team. It's looking like it might come back to haunt them, if not now, later on for sure.

Yeah same, there's just no respect whatsoever for who they're playing. All we can hope is that someone comes back and hammers them.

excuses are for losers, truth is Detroit had their chances, good ones too, especially RIP. None of them went down, stiff shit you get nights like these and that's why this is a best of 7 series.
