How confident are you that your team will win? (BE HONEST!)

[GrandeDavid]

10 = supremely confident
5 = I have no idea, its a coin flip who wins
0 = absolutely not confident

Also, tell us why you reached your decision. Thanks.

I would say its an 8 for me. I can see vivid scenarios of either outcome. Having said that, I really think that homecourt ad will save the Spurs' necks.

[easjer]

5.5

I love them, I'm willing them to win, but I suffer from some kind of anxiety disorder. It's ruining my whole day, man. Plus, I'm a pessimist, so on the best day, I'd only give them a 6.5.

So maybe it's really a 7.5?

Don't get down, bro, At least you've got the Missions and WNBA to rock your summer. :lmao

[margeryanne]

I would have to say 5. I will always pick the Spurs but a game 7... not sure at all.

[ZappaFan]

This Pistons team always seems to do what it takes to win. Honestly I can't imagine them losing tonight. My confidense is at about a 7.5. The only thing keeping it higher is rememering how confident I was that they would win game 5. I was at a 10 then.

I feel the same way right now as I did before game 6. I'm getting the same kind of vibe about the game.

[2centsworth]

9

It would be a 10 if our crowd was a little crazier.

[violentkitten]

this game is just like game 5. everyone expects detroit to win because they did so in the last game.

spurs 92
pistons 87

:lol

You know, there are an infinite amount of numbers between 0 and 10...

so the limit of confidence as time approaches ---> game time - no limit.
as time approaches ---> 4th quarter - no limit.

as time approaches ---> river parade, confidence reaches a limit of 10.:lol

[easjer]

Don't get down, bro, At least you've got the Missions and WNBA to rock your summer. :lmao

Not bro, friend, otherwise my fiance will be a little upset. :princess And fortunately, it's times like this that living in Houston rocks. I've got the ASTROS and the COMETS to comfort me.

Rock on, B^4 :smokin

10....11...I'd even crank it up to 21. Go Spurs Go.


I don't care whether I'm right or wrong. At least I can say I stuck by my team through it all.

[blaze89]

I'm gonna get slammed for saying this but my number would be 3 at best.

Remember you asked for honesty.

My heart and my feelings are with the Spurs, I am wearing my #21 Duncan Road Jersey I bought in 1999 after the 'Miracle' and wore it on Game 6 of the 2003 Finals. I wore it at game 2 in the West Semis against the Lakers (Spurs victory). I want the Spurs to win and we all know they have the tools to do it tonight.

Having said that, I just think the setup is made for a Detroit victory. The game 7 experiences, the resiliency this team has, its just one of those things where Detroit is primed to make history. I hate it cause it should be the Spurs making history tonight.

In a basketball sense, I think Detroit is just the better team tonight, the frontline of Detroit is just stifiling Duncan, stopping him from dominating, plus if Rip Hamilton goes off like he did in Game 6 and Billiups plays up to his skill, Detroit wins.

Now excuse me while I get ready for a beatdown.

[Spurminator]

I was going to prepare myself emotionally for a loss by lowering expectations, but I've decided to get wasted instead.

You're entitled to that opinion. I think we all just hope (yourself included) that the Spurs prove you wrong tonight.

Well said, my leige.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Realistically, it's a 5 for both. But if you're gonna bullshit yourself, you should at least say 10 or infinity.

What a great time to be in SA. If you win, huge party. If you lose, it'll be like a morgue...

[Mr. Body]

I'm about at a 3. Or a 2, since the Spurs haven't been the better team since the second game.

[CAPARG]

I BELIEVE in our team, but they aren´t machines and everyone can make a mistake, so: 9.99

[MannyIsGod]

10.

I KNOW Tim Duncan has the heart nessecary to carry his team, even on 2 bad ankles.

[catydid]

I would love to say 10 but being realistic, I must admit to about 7.5 and then pray like crazy and light all the candles for tonight! Can we find a cunandero (not sure of that spelling) to cast a huge spell over the Pistons for tonight? If y'all know of any, PLEASE have them do their work! Negatives for the Pistons and positives for the SPURS!!!!

[50 cent]

I'm sitting at about a 4.5, but I'm naturally pessamistic and would rather be pleasantly suprised.

The Spurs just need to let me do all the worrying and head out there on a mission to destroy the Pistons!

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

I'm saying somewhere in the 8 range.

[Tobias]

I'm sitting at a 3-4 because The Spurs have never been in this situation before and I am a bit shaken to how they folded in game 6.

[Sense]

I'd say between 5 and 7..


oh wait thats a 6... :P


Heh, everyone is clueless which teams are gonna show up... the excuse that the Pistons have been there before is nothing against a Spurs Team...


Everyone must be clueless.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

2.1 (Tim) + 2.0 (Manu) + .9 (Tony) + .5 (Horry) + .2 (Nazr) + 1.2 (Bowen) + 1.7 (Barry) + 2.3 (Devin) + .8 (Rasho) + 1.4 (Beno) + .3 (GRob) = 13.4 (everyone who will play tonight)

[DarkReign]

Confidence = 8

Reality = 50-50

Thats the nature of a game 7

[MiNuS]

Honest is that I "thought" the Spurs would win game 6. Truth is that they lost G6.
Truth is that I thought they would lose G5 but they won that game.It was a LUCKY game 5.HAD the Spurs not won G5 Spurs would probably be eliminated and the Pistons would be Champions. Truth is they're not ... YET. So am not feeling "confident" right now. Its pretty much a toss-up with the Pistons have the better edge.
Duncan has been VERY inconsistent,especially in the FT line.He has choked there.
In every Spur win Manu has had to come in HARD,whether its with points or assists.SO
if this is going to be a Spur win then Manu has to be the differrence.Parker is NOT a differrence maker.Sorry for all the Parker fans.Someone.."someone" on the bench will have to come out ready to play for the Spurs.If not then they're cooked. Billups has been UNSTOPPABLE.Those mid range shots all seem to go in..BOWEN has to make up here!
I am not saying the Spurs will lose but they are not playing like they want to win either.I am a HUGE Spurs fan,dont get me wrong. There are too many turnovers,too many hurried shots by Duncan in the 4th qt,and now too many three point shot being made by the Pistons. Its time to bring in the A game Spurs!

When I want to really get juiced I turn it to 11

Why don't you just make 10 louder

Because this one goes to 11

[Experiment2100]

I'm scared out my mind, game 7s are unpredictable.

[atlfan25]

How confident are you that your team will win? (BE HONEST!)I have zero doubts.:smokin

[DDS4]

8.

In the battle of the heavyweights, the Spurs have dealt the first blow in this series. By going up 2-0 and taking game 5. Pistons are great at counterpunching.

I expect the Spurs to make the first blow again and go up 4-3.

[tlongII]

I'm not very confident as we are going with a youth movement. In 2 years we will be back in the thick of it.

[combs84]

120%, and no less. Its inevitable.

[ZappaFan]

Pistons seem more like a team of destiny than the Spurs do. Seems like the Spurs whole story is to not lose it (to avoid the choker label) while the Pistons motivation is to win it and become the team that overcomes all the doubters.

Also, it's a better story if the Pistons win it. The Spurs win it, ho-hum, they were supposed to.

The Pistons win it there's all kinds of angles and stuff to write about. All the "firsts" and all that. Too much karma on the side of the Pistons.

Detroit tonight = :elephant

San Antonio tonight = :depressed

[101A]

Tim Duncan really is THAT good.
Manu tends to be good in big games also, btw.

10

[Dre_7]

Well, I just put 7800 vBookie dollars (outa 7900) on the Spurs!

[Don Quixote]

When I want to really get juiced I turn it to 11

Why don't you just make 10 louder?

Because this one goes to 11

Great quote. This is Spinal Tap is one of the great films. Notice that the guitarist is totally stumped when the interviewer asks him the question, why not just make 10 louder? He stares off, stops chewing his gum and then says, because this one goes to 11.

Classic.

Anyway ... as you, my fellow Spurs fanatics may have already guessed, I'm not feeling very optimistic about our boys' chances tonight. We haven't played a decent game since Game 2, we're up against a superior team with momentum (I've covered this topic thoroughly), and while there's definitely the possibility that a team could drop a deuce in a Game 7 (like Boston and Houston did this year), this is the Finals and Detroit will come to play. As if anyone doubted that they would.

Frankly, we should schedule a parade that we made it THIS far agains the champs! :oops

[itzsoweezee]

9
- the pistons had to play an almost perfect game for them to win game 6. and even then the spurs would've won if they had made their foul shots. perfect games don't happen two games in a row. either detroit won't shoot lights-out from the perimeter, or they turn the ball over twice as must as they did in game 6. either way, the spurs are not losing again.

[Manu20]

9.5

I'm confident Tim will have a huge game.

[geerussell]

San Antonio, whether you like it or you don't like it, learn to love it. Enjoy watching Detroit celebrate on your floor.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

I am infinitely confident.

If any of the labor rumor is true about Tim's wife is true it might be just the distraction he needs not to worry about tonight's game as much as he might have.

He'll have a big night as will the Spurs.

[violentkitten]

San Antonio, whether you like it or you don't like it, learn to love it. Enjoy watching Detroit celebrate on your floor.


what if they don't? will you opt for the bullet to the temple or the more masochistic hanging from the shower rod?

[Pistons_In_7]

Im confident in my Pistons tonight but i still have butterflies. I would not be surprised to see it go either way. I think the Pistons deserve it for the way they played the last 4 games. If it hadn't been for that Horry 3..... Damn u Horry!!!! Why! Why?!

[bdubya]

I'm right around an 8; slightly more nervous than I was going into #6. Once the game starts, this will swing rapidly between 2 and 9, depending on who's got the ball....

[modeleste]

for Pistons

7 unless Sheed gets in foul trouble, then 5.5

should be a great game

[Hook Dem]

It's a 7 .....Remember the two overtime wins at the end of regular season. The Spurs will not go out with a loss!!!!!!!! We were facing unsurmountable odds then and now is no different! You gotta BELIEVE!!!!

[E20]

I'm gonna say:

10000000000000000000000000000000354353400000000000 00000000000000000000000000003454353454300000345435 43543543534543534534534500000000000000000000000000 00000000000000003534534534534543534543543543503430 00030504305035034050350535034504350

[beer_is_proof]

7 says the Pistons will win, some intangibles that could keep them from winning?? A poorly ref'd game. An extremely big performance by either Manu or Parker ( but I am talking about 30 + from either of them)
