All-time Favorite Games/Performances.

tin mad dog · 02-08-2011, 10:48 AM

It doesn't have to be Pistons but hopefully there will be a bunch.....and preferably no MJ things (for Money)

I just thought of posting this thread after finding one of my favorite Glen Rice moments.

Here's a game more enjoyable for the masses here (bittersweet for Money):

fredsue · 02-08-2011, 11:25 AM

was that a fennis dembo sighting on the bench at like 4:20

tin mad dog · 02-08-2011, 11:56 AM

Hells yeah! He was the Terrico of his day.

tin mad dog · 02-08-2011, 11:57 AM

Or maybe Lance Blanks was?

God, what an amazing game. I watched it on a small black and white set in my aunt's garage. LOVE G. Money.

Money23 · 02-09-2011, 03:33 AM

BTW, you post "No Jordan, specifically Money"...you might as well ask me if you can please watch some Jordan highlights.

Kstat · 02-09-2011, 08:20 AM

Here's a fantastic Pistons-Bulls game during the Grant Hill era...this first one is from 1996. I recommend starting it at the 3-minute mark.

DYNOMITE · 02-09-2011, 08:22 AM

My favorite was Will Bynum, last night.

Kstat · 02-09-2011, 08:29 AM

Here's a clip from my favorite Olajuwon performance....49 points, 24 rebounds and 5 blocks. Incredible to see him getting double and triple teamed and still score.

Kstat · 02-09-2011, 08:40 AM

Reggie Miller's 25 points in the 4th against the Knicks in 1994.

Kstat · 02-09-2011, 08:43 AM

Allen Iverson tearing up the Lakers in game 1 of the 2001 NBA finals. IMO, his best career performance. Some of the shots he hit were just sick. He embarrassed Kobe several times.

Kstat · 02-09-2011, 08:47 AM

This is brief...but unforgettable. TMac's 13 points in the last 35 seconds to beat the Spurs in one of the more ridiculous last-second comebacks in history.

Kstat · 02-09-2011, 08:57 AM

I'm not normally a huge Celtics guy...but the 60 Larry Bird dropped on Nique was a thing of beauty.

The reaction from Atlanta's bench as Bird started hitting some really absurd shots is priceless.

Kstat · 02-09-2011, 09:07 AM

The Bird vs Nique game 7 duel in 1988.

Kstat · 02-09-2011, 09:10 AM

One of my favorite non-Pistons ever..Charles Barkley obliterates Shawn Kemp in game 7 for 44 and 24.

Kstat · 02-09-2011, 09:14 AM

One year later...Barkley lights up Chris Webber for 56 in game 3. Not as dramatic, but he puts on an amazing shooting exhibition.

Not an all-time favorite but who can forget this motherfucker?

tin mad dog · 02-09-2011, 02:19 PM

Here's an extended version. Fucking Jazz color commentary guy trying to spin it like it wasn't intentional. Sure, you turn your back when you are playing the ball.

Kstat · 02-09-2011, 07:16 PM

No. I think he was in the hospital for the rest of the game.

tin mad dog · 02-09-2011, 10:32 PM

Captain Dougus and I have gotten into it over this play. He said his mom was working in the ER that night and that Isiah only got about 10 stitches.

I pointed out some articles that stated that he got 40 stitches and he then got upset and felt that I was calling his mom a liar so I dropped the conversation.

The YouTube folks seem to not know CD's mom either.

Orwellian O. · 02-09-2011, 11:02 PM

The Eagles comeback to beat the Giants this year was EPIC!.....sorry....not a basketball related favorite...

Money23 · 02-10-2011, 02:33 AM

OK...sneaking my FAVORITE Jordan highlight in...because he gets blocked on one end, gets some immediate fire, and makes an incredible block at the other. And because he was 40 at the time. You guys can handle it...no Bulls jersey.

detroitsportsfan · 02-10-2011, 12:02 PM

Isiah Thomas' performance against the Knicks is one of my favorites for sure. What about the Nuggets/Pistons triple-overtime game in Denver (which, by the way, the Pistons won)??? I believe it's still the highest scoring game by two teams in NBA history (?).

detroitsportsfan · 02-10-2011, 12:21 PM

thanx. now that brings back memories.

detroitsportsfan · 02-10-2011, 12:27 PM

what about the underdog Pistons beating the favored Lakers (ie. Kobe, Shaq, Malone, Payton, etc.) earlier this decade? beautiful...just beautiful.

The King · 02-10-2011, 12:29 PM

The best game I ever saw was the Bills coming back and beating the Oilers led by Frank Reicht. I'm pretty sure that game was on Christmas Day as I was watching it at my Aunts house. The best comeback in sports in my opinion.

hack · 02-10-2011, 12:37 PM

I watched that game with an Oilers diehard. What a sickening feeling it was for him. Saw it coming miles away.

tin mad dog · 02-10-2011, 08:47 PM

Money23 · 02-11-2011, 05:55 AM

What an amazing season. Should have been two in a row.

Money23 · 02-11-2011, 05:57 AM

My all time favorite sports moment is Gibby's big home run as a Dodger. Watching him limp around those bases, echoing the fist pump of that glorious '84 Series like an unexpected reprise...still gets me hyped.

Money23 · 02-11-2011, 06:02 AM

Money23 · 02-11-2011, 06:05 AM

Unbelievable moment...just one of those things that doesn't ever happen outside of the movies.

tin mad dog · 02-11-2011, 12:40 PM

That's probably the only time I've rooted for the Dodgers.

It was a great sports moment but I didn't have a lot of emotion wrapped up in it so it doesn't get me like some other moments might.

This may be my favorite moment of a game I was at:

Yeah. My emotion going in was PURELY because of Gibby and that unreal, magical '84 run...sucked to see him hobbled and basically cast aside. I pulled for all of the Boys even after they left, particularly Parrish, my favorite. But you'd almost have to hate sports not to at least appreciate the way the table was set for that, and the way he came through. It's those types of moments that helps to keep sports intriguing, even in a cynical, finance driven world.

Money23 · 02-12-2011, 04:26 AM

Great Desmond play.

Two that I was in attendance for stand out for me so far...Lions vs. Bears, Monday Night Football at the Silverdome, Eric Hipple's first game. Hipple threw FOUR touchdowns and ran for two more. Unbelievable. Lions won 48-17. Absolutely magical.

Second, Terry Mills goes for 41 against Boston, I think 1993. Dude was on fire.

The Lions/Rams game of this past season is up there, too. Awesome.

tin mad dog · 02-12-2011, 04:56 AM

I was at Game 6 of the Pistons/Celtics ECF in '87. That was a lot of fun...up until the AD/Vinnie headsmash in game 7.

Still, that wasn't the right play call. Glad it happened and gave us the memory, but way too much of a risk.

tin mad dog · 02-12-2011, 02:31 PM

To steal from Dabney Coleman in the movie version of "Dragnet" Moeller had 'balls the size of church bells'.

tin mad dog · 02-12-2011, 02:42 PM

Also, considering what had happened the last 2 years prior to that game I can kind of understand the gamble. First, there was the Rocket returning 2 kickoffs for TD's and then IIRC the year before, ND had a huge play on 3rd & 27 where the ball deflected off of one player's helmet and went to another WR (Lake Dawson?) who picked up the 1st.

Kicking a 42 yard FG only puts us up 6 and running the ball was what they were loaded up for.

Not the safe play by a long shot but it was a play that took those pieces of shit by surprise.

To see Granny Holtz storming the sidelines all frazzled and pissy makes it so worth while.

Fuck you, Lou!
