Pistons vs.Bulls or as most Pistons fans would call it, Pistons vs. Ben Wallace.
The Pistons second round matchup is a doosie! Detroit is playing a team that has been a rival of The Pistons for many years. A team most Pistons fans more than hate, but when you add Ben Wallace to the mix things heat up.
I would say that most Pistons fans have not forgiven Ben for leaving the city that made him who he is. Plenty of Pistons fans now have a severe dislike for the man they once revered. As we know from the Pistons first meeting with the Bulls at the Palace, Pistons fans are going to be less than friendly to Big Ben. In fact, it is now our job as Pistons fans to do everything in our power to root against him. It is the playoffs you know… It’s win or go home and we would love to send Ben and the rest of The Bulls packing Detroit style.
A few days ago I received an interesting e-mail from Need4Sheed reader Eric Timmer that I thought I would share with you.
Dear Natalie,
My name is Eric Timmer from Imlay City, Michigan, but I now live in West Palm Beach Florida. Love the site, and I wanted to send you these pictures of me teeing off on my beloved Ben Wallace bobblehead. This is the night that I heard he had turned into Benedict Arnold and signed with the Bulls.
I for one had a feeling Ben was on his way out of Motown, so the news didn’t surprise me. I appreciate and thank Ben for what he did for the franchise but I won’t be cheering for him any time soon. In fact I think The Pistons organization should play the famous Big Ben Gong whenever he misses a free trow at the Palace.
I would actually like to know what Pistons fans think. Love him or hate him that’s the question. You have to pick one, there is no in between.

And oh yeah…..the only possible thing we could be mad at Joe for is his gamble a few years ago with the draft. I call the Darko experiment. And even that we can’t be TOO mad at him. It didn’t really hurt the team at all. Granted if he would have picked DWade, or Chris Bosh it would have helped our team. I know they didn’t pick them because they thought they had their starting lineup together already, but I am sure that they could have worked their way into the starting lineup.I am glad they didn’t pick melo either. I can’t stand selfish players. That’s why I love the Pistons. The word selfish isn’t even in their vocabulary. They work together.
SPEAK YOUR MIND JUSTIN!! LOL
“I was a Pistons fan, but this site turned me into a Golden State Warriors fan. The Warriors own the Pistons this year. Baron Davis is the boss! Barons is like the Young Chauncey Billups. The Warriors are like the 2004 champion Pistons, Young, Hungry and Physical.”
I’m just curious, HOW IN THE HELL did this site make you a Golden State fan? I’m just not getting the picture. We barely ever talk about them and the only time they are ever mentioned on posts is when the PISTONS played them. So PLEEEAAZZ explain to me… HOW????
Golden State fans aren’t cocky like Piston fans. Besides there’s too many badwagoners like you Jess and Justin,(The wine and cheese crowd) that “became” a pistons fan, after the fact that they won a championship in 2004. Explain to me, would you still be a pistons fan if they had not won the championship? Were you a Pistons fan during the mid to late 90′s (the teal Era)? If you were,your not a bandwagon jumper.
Anonymous….you are hilarious. Wine and cheese crowd? That is the funniest thing I have heard. You clearly have no clue about who the Piston fans truly are. WE are blue collar. I can’t speak for Jess but as for me I have been a fan since they played in the silverdome. BEFORE they won their first 2 championships. I most definetly am not a band wagon fan. I resent the implication. I have no idea how this all started. But it is pretty funny. I love the NBA. I will watch almost any game. And if you paid any attention to what I was saying you would know that I was doggin’ the warriors. They are a scrappy team. I give them credit for what they have done so far. But that is as far as they are going to go. They might even beat houston. But there is NO way they are going to get past either San Antonio or Phoenix. So enjoy your little run while it lasts. If the Pistons finally figure out that they don’t need to have their backs against the wall to win then they are going to be scary. For one reason or another they always seem like they play their best when they have no where else to go. When they are the underdogs. I have a theory. I believe that whoever keeps making these comments “anonymously” is acting alone.

I dont know if you read my post way up there but I specificly stated this:
NO I’m NOT a “bandwagon jumper”… I’ve said it before and will say it again… I was BORN and RAISED in DETROIT and have been a PISTONS fan since I was KNEE HIGH!!!!!!!!
and if you dont know what I mean by knee high, I mean since I was a kid… since I can remember.
SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
AND if your the one who said in that post that this site made you a Golden State fan… than you are clearly a bandwagon jumper to GS. Obviously you were a PISTONS fan once upon a time. JUMPED on golden state’s wagon!! RIGHT??
Justin and Jess won’t admit that they are bandwagon jumpers, when they are!
This isn’t kindergarten. We are all adults here. Well maybe. It doesn’t matter what you say…again whoever you are. I know who I am. I don’t care what you think. And by the way. Let me make a decree. From this moment on…anyone who refuses to even leave a name will not be responded to.
Its not even about leaving a name. I just dont got time for bullshit. Believe what you want I could care less. But I got one question.. arent you suppose to be on a Golden State fan site??
i just wanted to be the 70th comment haha
LOOK AT THAT GUY I THOUGHT THAT GUY IS A PISTONS FAN AND LOOK WAT HES WEARING A T-WOLVES SHIRT…..
GO BULLS!!!!
T-Wolves? Now a Pistons Fan? What a freakin bandwagoner.OMG
