Pistons lead the Finals 3-2 going into LA for games 6 and 7, if nec.

Pistons blow out the Lakers in Game 4: L.A. Lakers 86 at Detroit 111

Pistons need one win to win the title.

Lakers win both home games to win the title in 7.

Just thought I would remind folks that even if we lose game 5, we still get to come home and the series isnt over.

That was the last NBA Finals to go seven games, I believe.

*edit* whoops, wrong it was 1994 Knicks-Rockets.

We remember. 14 seconds. Laimbeer. Kareem. Hugh Hollins. The phantom foul...

you forgot to also mention detroit lost those two games because Isiah Thomas badly sprained his ankle, he set a final record for points in a quarter 25 points on a bum ankle,

They fell just short in game 6 had the lead at halftime in game 7 only to lose.

Had Isiah been healthy we all know who would have won that series.

Sorry i didn't mean to burst your bubble. If the Pistons win game 5 you better hope Chauncy sprains his ankle, do not think that Detroit can't or won't win 1 of 2 going back into San Antonio.

No Chauncy is not Isiah but as far as clutch, crunch time shot making he is our current version of Isiah. He's our goto guy as Isiah was in clutch situations. He has hit perhaps more game winning shots in the last two years than any other player in the league.

One of your players could get injured still. I'm calling my Haitian friend. There's still time for a little black magic....:D

This happened in 1994 too. Rockets were down to the Knicks 3-2 going home for games 6 and 7. They pulled them out and took the title. Detroit hasn't proven anything until they can win on the Spurs court.

San Antonio hasn't proven anything either becaus they haven't won on the Pistons home court :)

Fortunatly we dont have to win on the Pistons court to win the title.

Detroit does have to win on ours though.
