ESPN -
Bad blood is brewing between the Pistons and Magic following Game One of their semifinal series, according to the Associated Press.

Orlando forward Rashard Lewis fouled Theo Ratliff rather hard during Game One on Saturday, and Jason Maxiell quickly got in the face of Lewis with a few choice words.

"There's no sense in guys coming to my rescue," Ratliff said Sunday. "I mean, that was Rashard Lewis. He's a 3 man."

"You can have a lot of energy in five minutes a game," Lewis said. "What's he played? 15 games? Tell him to come out and guard me."

Maxiell decided to take some shots at Orlando's Dwight Howard as well. "He's has a very strong upper body," Maxiell said. "But if you get down low and take his legs out, he's not that powerful."

"That's not true," Howard said. "Trust me."

If I were Jason Maxiell I wouldn't tug on Superman's cape but then again if Maxiell keeps shooting like he did in Game 1 (Like Rip Hamilton) I'd say what I wanted too. LoL :D

You're dead wrong, we lost Game 1 because we were shooting 3s poorly and it caught up with us. We stayed with them for 3 quarters without doing what we've done best all season.

And hahaha at what Shard said, it's quotable...

You didn't even add it all fell apart after Dwight Howard's thumb injury. If he is okay then so are the Magic.

I'd say 5 too, but you never know maybe they won't win any.

I won't even say how many games I think it will go, you'll call me cocky.

I'll let the teams play it out.

And by the way if I were Shard I wouldn't call out Ratliff to guard him, when he is one of the best defenders in the leauge..

Yea, he is, but only too big guys. Ratliff could not chase Shard around long enough. Shard would burn him on EVERY play.

That foul on Dooling at the end was suspect. That's not what lost Orlando the game. They had their chances but from that one angle it looked like he fell on his own.
