I am just praying that PHX and SA go over 210. Other than that its looking like Miami and SA. Then I am going to have to go with SA.lifted said:

I am watching it and I still can't believe that Detroit can score that much. ANd how in the hell does Phoenix only win one game so far in this series. WHat is Coach Brown's problem. I mean he seems never satisfied with what ever team he is with. I don't think that this will cause a distraction within the Detroit organization though because he missed a good patch of games due to his surgery and they still made the playoffs. HE was rumored to be interested in the NY Knicks job earlier this year and even stated on record that the NY would be a dream job and yet the Pistons made it to the Playoffs. SO I don't think it will be a distraction but if Shaq continues to get healthy then I don't see how Detroit will win.

Damn....Pistons worked our asses tonight...although I must say the refs had some rather interestng calls all night that seemed to favor Detroit... but nonetheless, they still worked us

I like Pheonix, but teams who don't play defense don't win championships. Marion is one of my favorite players but he is standing around waiting for a pass to dunk the ball - too much 'and1' crap. Spurs win 4-1.

I noticed Detroit players have stopped wearing their rings from last year.
I'd be surprised if Miami takes another game now that they are every other day. Detroit and San Antonio are two teams that get better as they get further into a series, they lock in on a team and its usually lights out.
Spurs and Pistons will be one heck of a series, but an ugly one.

Obviously I am a Pistons fan. I kind of figure they will lose tonight, win back in Detroit and hopefully win game 7 in Miami. I don't know though, Miami makes me nervous. It doesn't seem like they can stop Shaq. But I think they will win if they play Piston basketball which it does not seem like they are doing tonight. I can't tell, I am stuck here at work until 3AM. :sad:

Wade was hurt 1/2 the game and wasnt much of a factor (that right there says something). Shaq was great. He was tough inside and got all of Detroit into foul trouble.
Rasheed Wallace (punk) was a non-factor. He might as well not even played. I'm sorry, but Miami is the better team, no matter how the series ends up.

Went to the Game......just didnt seem like Detroit had a rhythm at all. Couldnt shoot well..couldnt rebound...just looked like Miami wanted it more.
Got to get my Game 7 tix soon as I have a strong feeling this is going seven and I dont see Detroit losing an elimination game at home.

What a good game 7 tonight. I thought the Heat gave the game away at the end, they had a chance to pull away with 3-4 minutes when they were up by 5 and had no killer instinct. The killer instinct is what makes champions and they didn't display it. Free throws were huge down the stretch too.

Same thing was said about Miami, LA, last years Pacers,& last years Nets.ryansm said:
The Spurs are one heck of a ballclub but to say the Defending Champs dont have a chace.....well, I hope the Spurs come out thinking that way.

Die.....I am with you....But I cant stand Wallace the most.
I guess all we can do is try to keep this group together for another year and just hope that there are no injuries since our entire starting 5 couldnt event get time on the training table. IF they come back together next year...they will be there in the Finals.
No disrespect to Detroit...but what could have been if we were a little healthier.

Well Nets and Pacers props to Detroit, Last yrs Lakers though Karl Malone's injury was a little big but detroit was still probably the better team with Kobe Nryant being an asshole. Heat are a different story I think though healthy Heat are probably as good or better than any of Shaqs Laker title teams, better roleplayers and dwayne wade is less selfish than kobe.mmorpheuss said:Same thing was said about Miami, LA, last years Pacers,& last years Nets.

Great to see Detroit finally in a big series versus a healthy opponent (crosses fingers for Duncan's ankle)

Woohoo, I am actually from Florida and Detroit is my team. I started watching them last year in the playoffs and the way they play team ball with an outstanding defense impressed me more than any other team in the NBA (on top of the fact that I dont like Shaq). No superstars, just 5 medium to upper level talented starters that can do some amazing things. Their bench isnt to bad either. I got to give it to Miami though, they played some impressive ball, especially Dwayne when he was healthy. I dont think we'll have a problem against the Spurs though. Time will tell. Back to back :drunk:

Pistons vs. Spurs is gonna be a physical defensive series, I personally like that brand of basketball. I'm gonna have to go with Spurs in 6. The Spurs are gonna win because they will wear the Pistons down since the Pistons have no bench and they won't stop Duncan IMO

Whats with Detroit player's being called thugs...Billups a thug where did that come from...Mr. Clutch maybe...when has Rasheed been a thug...he gets technicals but he's not a thug , just very passionate...Detroit is a hard working team and physical the main point is TEAM!!!

Yeah taking Shaq for 7 games will definetely have an effect on any player, no matter how good he is. The tough thing is he now has to defend Tim Duncan.Derek_aka_Beast said:
I will give the Pistons this though, they definetely understand the concept of team play and good chemistry which has helped the Patriots win 3 of the last 4 Super Bowls.

Man TNT showed Ben's shoe inserts after one game of leaning against Diesel, and they had rips and punctures all over them it was just sick.Derek_aka_Beast said:
I can play every day for the entire summer and not make shoe inserts look like Ben's did after one game. Thats just got to suck.

Duncan is the most frustrating opponent to watch. he sucks except for the fact he's fundamentally perfect and gets all the superstar calls. I hate the dude but respect that he got all the basics down pat.
Manu is philthy. Parker will be the best PG in the league in 2 years. Horry is sorta nice and crams on people still, at age 82.
Detriot really is getting little to no respect by the 'experts'. They'll win in 6. Fast-forwarding to next season, the Sonics will be the 2005-2006 NBA champions bitches!
