Pistons are a good team but the Spurs are a great team. Spurs are good at everything. They can outscore you or shut you down. Any style works for them.

Wow admack, you seem to know your stuff.

BTW, our whole starting line-up has rings, and horry and devin both have rings.

"Fear the fro?" Why? He cannot stop Duncan, no way, and he can't do shit on offense.

It's more like Fear the ginO.

Um, last time I checked, Tony, Manu, and Bruce have just as many rings as the rest of the Pistons. Oh yeah Duncan has 2 btw.

Oh and if you wanna talk about heart, look at Tim playing through the playoffs on 2 sprained ankles. When they lost, they took the blame and prepared for the next game, no one ran their mouth talkin about a conspiricy!

Everyone on the Pistons only has one ring, just like the Spurs, cept Timmy and Horry, so you cant look at rings to measure the heart of a team.

But dont worry, the NBA is gonna send some good people out there and there will be a game seven, thats wat the league wants, if yall cant see that, you're crazy!!!

[admack]

ok, here are some reasons why the Pistons will beat the Spurs.
1. Rasheed wallace will negate Tim Duncan.
2. Chauncy Billups will own Tony Parker. If AI couldnt hardly get to the hole on the Pistons what makes you think T.P. will?
3. Tay Prince will have Ginobli looking like that kid Kyle Korver, i.e. he is not quick enought to get around Prince (like Wade) so he will be forced into jacking up quick hurried threes over the top of Tayshaun. Like thats gonna work.
4. The Pistons will have the rebounding edge in each game. Rebounds means more possesions equalling a better chance at winning.
5. The Pistons play extremely well when they are backed into a corner. The Spurs have barely been tested. When the crap hits the fan (no pun intended) the Pistons are experienced in coming out on top.
There are five good reasons, I have more if you like.

Funny how you run around calling people idiots when you can't do simple subtraction. In the last 20 years, The Pistons have won 3 championships and have been to the finals 5 times. The Spurs have won 2 championships and have been to the finals 2 times.

Anyway, the only Finals that are really relevant to 2005 are the Pistons' 2004 appearance and the Spurs' 2003 appearance. All the rest had nothing to do with the current group of players - with the exception of Duncan who played in 1999.

So both teams have finals experience. Whooppee.

Oh yeah, the same media morons that picked the spurs this year, picked the Fakers to sweep the Pistons last year so dont hang your hat on that.

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH -- go start your own forum if you want to moderate one.

[Solid D]

Those look more like predictions than reasons, admack, but at least you are improving your substance slightly.

You are overestimating Tay's quickness vs. Ginobili. Nobody can really plan to defend Ginobili a certain way.

This series will be more about exploiting matchups coming off of switches on scree/rolls and about who executes the best, especially down the stretch. The Pistons have been highly inconsistent, and that has to be a concern for Pistons fans from game to game.

Both teams get stops but here are some of the defensive facts to consider:

Spurs Opp. PPG 88.39 Rank 1
Pistons Opp. PPG 89.46 Rank 2

Spurs Opp. FG% .426 Rank 3
Pistons Opp. FG% .430 Rank 5

Spurs Point Diff. +7.80 Rank 1
Pistons Point Diff. +3.86 Rank 6

Spurs Opp. APG 16.89 Rank 1
Pistons Opp. APG 19.73 Rank 4

Spurs Assist Diff. +4.70 Rank 1
Pistons Assist Diff. +2.06 Rank 7

[Pistons < Spurs]

2. Chauncy Billups will own Tony Parker. If AI couldnt hardly get to the hole on the Pistons what makes you think T.P. will?


You do realize that A.I. basically went off on us every game right? And when he wasn't scoring, he was penetrating right past Billups, and then kicking out.........luckily for us, Korver and their other role players couldn't hit jack. But the Spurs have more legitimate shooters sitting outside waiting for the rock. I can easily see Barry going off if TP slashes and dishes. And don't forget about Horry either.


Not that Billups can't create some damage on TP offensively.....I definetly beleive he will.......but quit being such a homer.

I wonder who was injured in game 1 against Miami when the Pistons made them look silly on the Heat's home floor. Did you happen to see the shot of the bench after the game?
I hope you did because thats exactly how the Spurs bench will look after game 1 of the Finals.
Mark my words because I will be back to rub it in later.

So...if Spurs fans think that there team can win...then they are ignorant and are going to "learn what the Pistons bring to the table" How about some credit for the Spurs having the second best record in the NBA? Oh and this "new batch of fans" crap? Some of us have been following this team since 1974 so I think we know what's going on. Nice assumption, dick.
