Wake Up!!! Pistons are through!

[SequSpur]

ESPN acts like the Pistons were in Game 1 yesterday.

After the show from the pregame show and the reality of being in the Finals again, the Spurs fucking destroyed the Pistons.

It was possibly the easiest 3 quarters so far in the playoffs.

Players such as Rasheed Wallace, Ben Wallace, Rip Hamilton, Arroyo, Hunter, McDyess, and Prince were reduced to the Eastern Conference Scrubs they are.

The only positive was Billups who I guarantee will be locked up for the rest of the series.

Manu, Parker, Duncan, Nazr imposed their will on them like they were nothing.

After the initial shock, the Spurs outscored, outrebounded and outhustled the Pistons by total basketball domination.

Just like I said.

Spurs in Four.

I can't ignore at the fact that this could happen...


Remember PHX....

I expected that to go to atleast 6..

[myhc]

And if we lose on Sunday, then I guess we'll take them in 5?

[Boo]

Spurs in Four.

Please...

[Experiment2100]

There you go, startin sheeeyit

[Phil Hellmuth]

IF we win it four or five this team would surely be special.

[mookie2001]

the Spurs fucking destroyed the Pistons.


got that right!

you should write poetry

[Dre_7]

IF we win it four or five this team would surely be special.

I agree with you on that one. I dont think it will be an easy series by any stretch of the imagination. These are the defending champs! They aint gone roll over!!

Jinx, Anyone?

I guess Jinx sometimes doesnt work for the Spurs...

Can't say the same about the Mavs..

[bigzak25]

jesus, don't say it man....

i like it better when sequ thinks the spurs are gonna go down....

and if our Spurs lose 1, 2 games? he'll say IT'S OVER!!!

Not Sequ...

[duncan_21]

I don't know if you can say this is going to be easy. I think it will be easier then denver. I thought the denver series was the hardest. I say the spurs should win in 5 but will screw up a game and take it in 6.

Over the playoffs det hasn't shown me anything that makes me think they can win a 7 game series with the spurs. But I'm not confident enough to say sweep.

[nkdlunch]

Spurs in 6

First you say the Spurs are finished when they lose game 1 to Denver, now you say Detroit is finished when they lose game 1????

Sequ, I think you have premature ejaculation of the brain....seriously.

:)

[td4mvp3]

i feel the same way as duncan 21 and with the spirit of sequspur. i mean, could you imagine the spurs having lost game one by 15 and failing to break 70 points? posting the worst loss in playoff history or something like that? they'd be given up for dead. but if the pistons perform at the level they have all year (i checked out reg season stats to playoff stats. rip, billups, sheed and prince have only upped their output by a point or two. duncan's up 8 or 10, i think, and manu jumped from 16-17 ppg to like 22-24. i was going to make a new thread about having a different level but haven't gotten around to it), spurs win. they haven't shown me any reason to think they have a different level that they can go to.

[JamStone]

Thanks for the blatant disrespect, SequSpur.

Apparently, you only watched the fourth quarter of game 1. The score after three quarters was 55-51.

The Spurs definitely destroyed the Pistons in the fourth quarter, and Manu just cut through the Detroit defense and was amazing.

But, I'm a little surprised by the arrogance of some Spurs fans when the general sense of media portrays Spurs fans as being classy and humble.

You have every right to think your team will win, but to call the Pistons Eastern Conference scrubs is quite uncalled for.

[ducks]

the pistons are not as good as last year
they would not have gotten past the pacers with artest
they would not have gotten past the heat if they were all healthy
and they will not win the title
if spurs score 80 IT IS OVER

[JamStone]

Ducks,

For a fan of a team with an *astericked 1999 NBA title, you sure know how to discredit another team's success.

The bottom line is that the Pistons are here in the NBA finals ALONG WITH THE SPURS. The Spurs are an unbelievable team and deserve all the respect in the world. If you don't want to give similar respect to the Pistons, that's fine. The Pistons are better than what a lot of Spurs fans think, and are definitely capable of playing better than the fourth quarter of game 1.

[Mark in Austin]

The Spurs as an organization like to hire players and staff that have "gotten over themselves" as Pop says, which is what the media has focused on.

Fans here are like fans everywhere. Some are classy, some are bandwagoners, some are assholes, and some just like to start sheyittt and talk smack.

I think you'll find that the majority of posters here give the Pistons plenty of respect, especially when compared to the fans of other teams that have started up online message boards.

Look around, the Pistons are getting plenty of respect here. Some fans will always think their team is awesome and the opponent is dogshit. That is part of sports.

[ducks]

oh atleast when the spurs win it all they can say they beat a healthy team not like the heat


and the media is trying to act like it was close so more people will watch the game

[ducks]

so you want spur fans to respect the pistons but you put an * by one of the spurs titles


and if point .04 did not happen last year spurs would have given the pistons much more trouble and might have even beat them last year

[ducks]

I hope the pistons can play better in the fourth
3 more games like that could get boring to watch
I like close games

[JamStone]

oh atleast when the spurs win it all they can say they beat a healthy team not like the heat


and the media is trying to act like it was close so more people will watch the game



Right, because Seattle without Rashard Lewis and Vladimir Radmonovic playing and Ray Allen on an injured ankle is a healthy team. And, Phoenix without Joe Johnson for the first few games is a healthy team.

Please. Injuries are part of the game. Luck is part of winning. And, for you to indict the Pistons of winning only against injured teams is hypocritical at best.

55-51 at the end of the third quarter IS CLOSE. Spurs and Manu Ginobili blew it wide open in the fourth quarter. No excuses, but the Pistons' tired legs from the Miami series showed up a lot late in the game, especially with the lack of help defense on Manu's penetration moves. Also, don't forget Robert Horry hit a last second three pointer to make the score even more lopsided.

No, the game wasn't close in the fourth quarter. But, to say it wasn't a close game at all would be untrue.

[JamStone]

so you want spur fans to respect the pistons but you put an * by one of the spurs titles



Apparently, you don't understand the nuances of sarcasm. I only astericked the 1999 title to show the irony of you discrediting the Pistons success.

I don't personally discredit the 1999 title. I just know others (Phil Jackson and the media) have, and so I found it ironic that you would do the same to another team, knowing how that feels.

[RobinsontoDuncan]

If you think what he says about the Pistons is bad, just wait until you read what he thinks of the Spurs most of the time. (Talking about Sequ)

I think the Spurs will loose focus in one of the next 4 games but this series, I think, will not go 6 games.

[Babu]

Anyone who thinks the Pistons are through is making a bad mistake...a very bad mistake.

Pistons better be able to score more than 32 points in the second half of games if they are capable of winning the championship. :rolleyes

[JamStone]

I absolutely agree.

But, are you saying the Spurs' 35 points in the first half are acceptable?

[SequSpur]

I absolutely agree.

But, are you saying the Spurs' 35 points in the first half are acceptable?


STFU. Detroit sucks. They looked terrible in Game 1. They have been the easiest opponent this year in the playoffs.

As I said before, if it wasn't for the pre2ndquarter jitters, the Spurs would have dropped a 110 spot on them and it could've been the worst defeat ever in the history of the finals.

Enjoy the ride.

Spurs in Four.

[JamStone]

Spurs points per quarter: 17, 18, 20, 29

It wasn't just the first quarter. The fourth quarter is when the blowout occurred.

But, it's fine. Keep believing the Pistons suck, and they're the easiest Spur opponent in the playoffs. When the Pistons win a game, please come back and politely allow me to cram my shoe up your a ss.

[May_The_Best_Team_Win]

Sequ,

And if your aunt had a dick she'd be your uncle.

[RobinsontoDuncan]

^ What? Are you 12 years old? That has to be the stupidest post I've read in a few...years.

[May_The_Best_Team_Win]

None as stupid as the Pistons will lose in 4.

[May_The_Best_Team_Win]

There's nothing wrong with cheering on your team but Sequ needs to see a shrink if he thinks its time to bring out the broom.

Bottom line the Pistons executed poorly in the 4th quarter and Ginobli took over the game. That is the difference. In game 2 you will see Sheed score a lot more, You will see Diceman score a lot more, Ben Wallace Score a lot more, and Richard Hamilton score a lot more.

It will be another battle, but please don't discount the Pistons ability to beat your Spurs.

[SequSpur]

LMAO.

Put Ben Wallace on Duncan and Duncan will go for 40. Put Rasheed on him and he goes for 25+ and 15+ reb and a blow out.

Pick your poison.

Parker ran a fuckin layup drill on your defense.

Manu looked better than MJ in his prime against your defense, during crunch time I might add.

Your best player Rip Hamilton looked like a scrub.

I have confidence, because the Pistons position by position can't match up to anything the Spurs have.

It's over.

[May_The_Best_Team_Win]

Dude you are smoking peyote again aren't you? If parker put on a layup drill 15 pts, what did Billups do to you guys? Hamilton had an off game but had all the looks he wanted, you will see him convert at a much higher percentage in game 2.

[SequSpur]

Scoreboard doesn't lie.

Spurs kicked their ass.

[SequSpur]

The Spurs will not be rusty again in the first quarter.

Question: Is Detroit going to be able to go 3 digits with the Spurs? Hell No. Go back home and make some more cars.

Spurs in Four.

[May_The_Best_Team_Win]

The Pistons will have a much better offensive game in game 2 guaranteed!

No game in this series is going to be a cakewalk for either team.

[td4mvp21]

Why can't Sequ post what he wants? This a Spurs board, no one that is a Spurs fan is going to say "Well the Pistons are AWESOME. They kept it close in Game 1, but in Game 2, we all know they are gonna win because of their championship experience." If he thinks they are gonna sweep the Pistons, he should say it. Did any of you notice WHY the Spurs kept scoring higher in each quarter? They adjusted to the Pistons style of play, and that is why they are a great team. They adjusted to Phoenix's too. I personally don't think its going to be a sweep, Detroit will not let that happen.

[SequSpur]

The Pistons will have a much better offensive game in game 2 guaranteed!

No game in this series is going to be a cakewalk for either team.


Pistons and a guaranteed offense don't go together. What, suddenly the pistons are going to run a Phoenix type of offense through the best defense in the NBA???

Just a little FYI for you Piston fans keeping score.........

The Spurs have the best player in the NBA, both offensively and defensively. A 2 time MVP, who probably should have more MVPs but since the bullshit runs wild in the NBA, he doesn't.

Since Duncan has all the accolades, at the least the top ones, Ben Wallace has had a chance to win a few himself. Because head to head, Duncan has fucking destroyed him defensively and offensively in every game that they have played, since his career started.

The new MJ Manu Ginobili is taking flight on your weak ass defense. Dropping 15 when your defense should be peaking.

You know, I just don't see the light that Piston fans have nor ESPN.

Pistons might win a consolitory type game, but that's it.

Spurs in Four.

[theballaplaya]

This Sequ guy is tearin you Pistons asses right the f up. I am down with my brotha Ben Wallace, but homie plays the Spurs twice a year and by the looks of this last game, he needs to forfeit some of that hardware back to the real defensive player of the year. Timmy D.

Sequ ain't playin with you fools.

[Jimcs50]

Sequ, why do you think the Spurs are so good all of the sudden...you have been telling us that they have no chance to win it all this year, all year long, now it is a lock?

WTF?

Has Pop suddenly become a good coach? Has Bowen suddenly become a good sm forward?

Has Parker suddenly become a good PG?

Has Manu suddenly become a good 2 guard?

I am confused here....please explain your catharsis.

they would not have gotten past the heat if they were all healthy
and they will not win the title
if spurs score 80 IT IS OVER


Will these excuses ever stop coming? They're in the finals, live with it, and if your team loses, I want to see you back here and i cant wait to hear your next excuse. These injury/artest excuses are getting VERY old.

We won ONE game. No real reason for celebration. After 4, if that happens, then I'll celebrate.

I totally agree with you on this. I also preferred Detroit because of the whole legacy crap. I was also worried that Big Shot Bob would suddenly try too hard against his ex-Faker buddy.

I am not bold enough to predict a sweep but after the Pistons opened the game 17-4, Spurs outscored them 80 to 52. That is incredible, imo.

[JoeChalupa]

Three straight games in Detroit is something I do not look forward too.

[Icedstone]

The 2-3-2 is a punishment for the team with home court advantage if they do not win the first 2.

[ducks]

I will celebrate ever win
I am not a spur
I am a fan

[rayray2k8]

i can't believe how much spurs fans in here are discrediting detriots success.
Im just glad that the opinions of the fans dont reflect of the San Antonio Spurs
themselves. Squa is just being a fan, nothing more, so hes doing his job. His opinion
should not affect the outcome of the series so why the hell are you so damn worried?

[mookie2001]

bump

pistons, youre done.

[pjjrfan]

If only it would be that easy. I also don't think the Pistons are as good as last years version, but they are not pushovers. One game doesn't mean anything. I'll feel more confident if and when the Spurs win game 2 and hopefully take 2 out of 3 over there and finish it in 5 but my gut feeling is that the Pistons are going to make a fight out of it. I don't want to see a game 7 is all I know and it could happen.

[SequSpur]

.cough...cough...

[Dre_7]

.cough...cough...

It aint over yet. If SA wins game 3, then its basically over, but not yet.

[JamStone]

Spurs have dominated. Spurs have been the better team so far.

No counter-argument tonite after how the Pistons got their butts kicked.

I just hope that the Pistons can play better at home, get some lucky breaks, and more favorable calls. Pistons need to play near perfect basketball and some lucky breaks in order to beat the Spurs.
