San Antonio 91, Dallas 86

DALLAS (AP) -- Michael Finley hit back against the Dallas Mavericks, and the San Antonio Spurs are still alive.

After absorbing the low blow that got Mavericks guard Jason Terry suspended, Finley ignored the taunts from the Dallas fans who used to adore him and scored 16 points to help the Spurs to a 91-86 victory Friday night, forcing a Game 7 in a series that certainly deserves to end that way.

Finley scored 10 points in the third quarter to help San Antonio hang close, then made the go-ahead basket on a 3-pointer from the right corner with 2:45 left -- and Dallas' 7-foot star Dirk Nowitzki running at him.

Finley then defended Nowitzki on a missed 3-pointer that could've tied it with 6.9 seconds left. The off-balanced shot landed well short. Tony Parker got the rebound, was fouled and hit both shots, sealing the Spurs' second straight salvation of their title defense.

Detroit 84, Cleveland 82

CLEVELAND (AP) -- No NBA team enjoys life on the edge quite like the Detroit Pistons.

Minutes away from witnessing their spectacular season come crashing down Friday night, they stepped up like champions.

They almost always do.

Summoning all their postseason experience and making every big play down the stretch, the Pistons beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 84-82 to even their series and force a decisive Game 7.

"We know what it takes," Detroit's Ben Wallace said. "We've been together a while. We don't panic."

[The Genius]

It's on my fellow NBA Fan. It's on. The excitement is palpable.

[Dunc]

Bloody right. This is what the playoffs were supposed to be like.

Damn, man that reads like a movie script, except no one would make that movie, cause it would be too unrealistic. :lol

You got the wrong angle on that Dunk though. :) This one's got a much better view of Cubes.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Us against the world!!!!!


They doubted us. Ok some of us doubted ourselves aswell. Or perhaps questioned is more accurate.

You should never question a Champion though.

I'm so proud that both of our teams did what they were suposed to do. It's just Bisness as usual. Time to take these series to the HOME COURT. This is why we play hard all year. HCA will serve us well. The Cavs and the Mavs got a glimpse of the Heart of the Champions tonight. In a few nights time perhaps they will truly understand who we are!

People thought we couldn't fight the pressure. Well, who's the pressure on now?


Lebron: Were you a witness tongiht?


Cuban: How's that MUD in your eye? You know that muddy riverwalk that you want to diss?


Today I was truly nervous.......yet optimistic at the same time. The clock moved so slowly. I couldn't wait for tonight. I was pissed that I had no internet at work. I wanted to be here on ST and talk about the upcoming games. I had to listen to the first 3 quarters of the Pistons game on the radio. Finally got home, and loved how experience won over in the 4th.


The Spurs game was very similiar. Close all the way through. Manu carrying them on his back. Then the 4th quarter comes around, and the championship experience once again wins the game.


Players making big plays. Winners winning big games.


Time for Game 7.


Congrats to both the Pistons and Spurs fans on the wins tonight.

I have to be honest and say the last couple of days have been a little odd here on ST. We all know that there is a nice level of respect between the 2 franchises, and the fans here on ST. It's been a fun relationship. While the Spurs have always (since the early Admiral years) been on my list of favorite teams, I can honestly say that the Spurs have become my second favorite team. I attribute that to last years Finals, and to my time here becoming more familiar with the team.. But in the last 2 days, it's been interesting and down right freaky to see the teams and their fans to be thrown in such similiar circumstances. Conference leaders, both expected to reach the next level. Both finding themsleves in a place they don't belong. Down 3-2 facing elimination to inferior teams. It was actually pretty damn cool to see the fans support the others team. To see them come together for the same goal. I know this will continue till the Finals. But I have to say that I've never ....ever ....seen so much love between two different competing teams. Naturally, if we were in the same conference, the sentiments would not be quite the same.

I appreciate the Spurs fans support. I enjoy giving my support to the Spur fans.

I expect a big thank you from all Spur fans as I think I'm the reason why the Spurs won tonight. I wore my Rasho Slovenian jersey (which I won here on ST ) during the game, and I'm sure that's what pushed them over the edge! Well maybe the C.H.E.S.T. MoJo helped aswell! :):):)


Good luck to both teams in their game 7's. Once again it will be time to show what Champions do. I will be rooting for you to reach the Finals.

:clap very well said. but i knew we would come out on top our teams are just too damn good to be down. and who would have thought the fans would come together? its good to see such unity.

[Pistons_In_7]

Pretty crazy how ive rooted against the Spurs all year because of the tight hca race and now i find myself cheering for them. Ironic.

It feels like the rematch has to happen. Kind of like the 88-89 89-90 Finals between the Pistons and the Lakers. We know what happened then and history has a way of repeating itself. Will Detroit win a back 2 back before getting tormented for the next several years by Lebron James? Only time will tell. Tonights victories were ugly for both teams but ill take them. Bring on game 7.

[Dunc]

Absolutely amazing to see the fan bases of two rival teams come together like this. I think both of our groups needed each other in some weird way. It made me feel better to know that maybe a couple dozen Spurs fans had our back, and I bet it made you guys feel better to know that you had the us Pistons fans behind you guys too. It's gonna be kickass to meet up with you guys in the Finals again.

someone needs to send this in to ESPN. so the whole world can see that we stick together.

[myhc]

wow that's beautiful pistons<spurs. it is strange isn't it? i've been rooting very hard for the pistons. they have the heart of a champion like the spurs. too much heart and character and focuse to be denied. we have too much pride to let bron bron and the maverick love fest from the media take anything away from us. like i said, we'll see you guys in the finals... :hat

[RashoFan]

Pistons<Spurs...
Very well said! BTW I would love to have a pic of you wearing Rasho's Jersey! :D
To all the Detroit fans that crossed their fingers for your team and ours, THANK YOU for the support. Both teams have a big game coming up and I wish them both the W!
We will have the rematch in June...I AbsoGINOBILI GauranSHEED IT!!!!!!

[Pistons_In_7]

Im about to cave and buy a Manu jersey. Im kind of addicted to Pistons jerseys i own 13 of them.

[Dunc]

Despite all odds.... despite what seems to be rigged officiating in both series, this series is imminent. This series is a big "FUCK YOU" to David Stern and ESPN and ABC and the NBA, and I love it.

It is all or nothing now people. The Pistons and Spurs have to remind people why they are thee elite teams in the league. Good Luck to both teams the rest of the way!!!

[polandprzem]

P<S nice speach :) :tu


Now the game number seven for both teams are the test of mentality and wanting it more.

In spurs case it's about making a history.
In detroits case it's about taking care of buisiness :)

[clubalien]

in the words of rasheed wallace"both teams played hard"

[Tony-Go MAVS]

Go Pistons, Go Spurs.

We can do it.

This Pistons guy know the Mavs will beat that Piston ass in the Finals. He'd better root for the spurs!!!

[Tanya]

Honestly, I felt so frustrating after pistons lost game 5. I was telling myself if both pistons and spurs are out of this round I won't be watching the rest of the playoffs."
I am sorry. I am very sorry. I should be confident in these two teams.

They can do it. Let's win game 7 on our home court!

[Tony-Go MAVS]

Same goes for you. Detroit is scared of Dallas

Yep...in Dallas we have lots of trophys...Stanley cup Trophy, Super Bowl Trophys...you know, just a few. You should know...aren't you all Cowboy fans???

[SPARKY]

Why is it that Mavs fans come off as a 10 year old trying to get mommy and daddy's attention?

[JamStone]

Very happy about both teams winning.

But, certainly grounded enough to know that all that either team did was push each series to game 7. We all know neither series is over. The real work comes in game 7.

That said, let's hope this whole home court advantage thing really is an advantage.

[abmccray]

If the Pistons AND the Spurs were knocked out of the playoffs, I wouldn't watch them anymore because I can't stand any other team left in it. After losing all of my nails in the 7:00 game, I was right there cheering for the spurs and biting on my fingers instead.

[SouthernFried]

You don't have to hate an opponent. There is no law saying that. You can play at your highest levels against each other...and still respect the other guy. This is what the Spurs and Pistons have.

This is not what the Mavs bring. Avery is beginning to act like Cuban, mebbe it's in his contract. And Mav's fans are acting like 8th graders.

Still, having said that, Dirk has been class all the way. Cuban doesn't deserve him.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Lol, you're making fun of a Detroit fan regarding trophies? We got everything but the Superbowl, buddy. I think Detroit's got you beat in overall sports championships. Oh yeah, and don't forget Dirk's 3-point shooting trophy from All-Star weekend. That was pretty special too. I guess the Mavs might as well have *some* hardware. Who is the guy with the pic of the Mavs trophy case? I think it needs to make an appearance.

Ha! The only bright spot that I will see on the horizon if Dallas pulls a miracle and beats us in Game 7 is that the Pistons will absolutely kill the Mavs--I predict it would be a sweep.

But we'll never know--Pistons and Spurs have a date with destiny.

I usually hate the Spurs, but I've actually found myself pulling for them...

I have a new found respect for Spurs fans, mostly because of this thread. You all see down to earth and NBA savy fans who know their stuff. No troll BS or hating on teams just because you hate their guts.

When your Spurs beat Dallas tommorow, I will laugh my ass off. You guys have done good, I counted you out and you guys have proved me wrong. Glad to see you guys want this kind of rematch, to bad all Spurs fans can't be like you. We have a spurs fan on our board in Detroit and he talks shit and nothing else, its a sad sight to see.

and no im not jealous, our annoucer is there to announce not be a sideshow to the fucking game.

[samikeyp]

jealous of a PA announcer? isn't that a bit of a stretch? You know you are reaching the bottom of the barrel when you bring out "announcer smack". Honestly who cares? If Detroit and SA met again in the finals, I would be way more interested in the game then who is telling me who is on the court.

Nope, I was 7 in 91, anyways I'm just havin some fun. I just like our announcer compared to your(better introduction and better annoncement of home team stuff, i.e. Detroit Basketball, or fouls against an opponent, etc).

Damn...what a surprise. Two straight possessions, two horribly bad calls. Game tied.

Very true, but kudos to Mavs as well, that blue dinasaur mascot is pretty cool for the kids too. I think it is wonderful that we get the kids involved early dont you think? future NBA revenue, eh? :lol

[AC_from_the_D]

ESPN is worse, they come up with some bad bull$hit about it not being Brons fault when he gets a foul they wax LeBron's ass worse then I have ever seen. And it will be just as bad next series against DWade and Shaq. If ESPN had its way, it would be the Cavs and Heat in the actual Finals.

It's not a dinosaur smart guy, It's a horse. Cause mavericks ride horses. What the hell does a cayote have to do with anything?? I was at game 2 and 5. Ya'll have some really cheesy stuff.

Tony, you are helping me too much, guy. First , we all KNOW it is SUPPOSED to be a horsey. But what does it look like to you.

Secondly, mavericks dont RIDE horses, the ARE horses.

:lol

[Spurs Dynasty]

Oh, yeah and some Mavericks ride around on trains and gamble a lot...
..but that is a horse of a different color !

[CosmicCowboy]

Well...Pistons did their part.

Well why dont you guys hold hands and skip around the court for the whole series. split the trophy..

[T Park]

We just might do that.

Hmm. Well, ok. Now lets talk matchups, basketball is all about matchups. I dont think we can go small ball, it would look silly with the bigger Pistons skipping with much shorter Spurs players. I say we must put Duncan on Ben Wallace, they are about even... should look spiffy skipping and holding hands together.

How bout the other matchups?

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Manu and Delfino would definitely skip together...

[spurs=bling]

Rasho and Rasheed would skip together too.

[1Parker1]

Rasho and Rasheed would skip together too.

I'm sorry, but an actual mental picture of this came to my mind when I read it. Now that's funny.

just putting the two R's together.

[AC_from_the_D]

We just might do that.
I was about to say, that would be a good Plan. LOL

Here's my prediction. Pistons in 7, the spurs in it until the last minute.

Let's see if the Spurs make it out of the WCSF and if the Pistons make it out of the ECF, before we make predictions. :lol

What no sharing? It would save time and stop wasting all that gas flying all over the place.

We could even have common rings made... combine the names...

The Pis-urs, i think. yeah

Tongue-Twisters. :lol

That works too. Oh, no, we didnt run off TonyC did we?

On a serious note, congrats, Pistons. If we both make it to finals, should be a great battle.

[Manu4Three]

I agree, and a ring named Manu Prince, i.e.

[TonyC]

Oh my god.....you guys are cracking me up with this shit. None of you deserve a championship. If its not the mavs, it the heat that will win this shit. Both of your teams have some false hopes here. This is the dumbest shit i've ever heard of......it's called BEING COMPETITIVE, I like the pistons more than the fans. They would grab this guy leaving these messages and throw him into lake michigan. Fuck this shit!!!

[spurs=bling]

well for a mavs fan to try to take on two fan bases united as one is not very smart.

Dont worry, Piston fans, your secret is safe with me.

Oh whats gonna happen to me...some mis-spelled curse words or some more trash talk about Cuban. Or maybe, "how many championships has Dallas won?" Go Mavs!!! I love being the only mav fan wasting my time on here, it really makes me feel good at the end of the day. Get your tackle boxes ready. Maybe spur and pistons fans can go fishing together and exchange thier favorite nba finals moments or tell each other how much they love one another. LETS GOOOOO MAVERICKS!!!!! Dirk 29point, 19 boards, 3 steals. Jason Terry with 30 points, 10 assists.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Time for the Spurs to win.

Time to get it done.

Time to advance past these Mavs....if for no other reason than watching these Mav posters dissapear.

Keep the dream alive.

I will be rooting the Spurs on with all that I have.

Detroit 79, Cleveland 61

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) -- LeBron James made things rough for the Detroit Pistons. In the end, the two-time defending Eastern Conference champions got it right.

Coming back from a 3-2 deficit, Detroit eliminated James and the Cleveland Cavaliers with a 79-61 win Sunday in Game 7 of their second-round series.

"Our slogan is, 'If it ain't rough, it ain't right,"' Richard Hamilton said. "So it was rough for us, and we got the win. Now we're looking forward to the next series."

James was often sensational throughout the series, but ultimately, the 21-year-old phenom could not help the Cavaliers overcome Detroit's defense, experience and home-court advantage. The Pistons proved -- again -- that being down does not mean they're out.

The Pistons held Cleveland to the lowest-point total in a Game 7, and to its worst quarter offensively in franchise playoff history.

[DetroitBasketball]

Go Spurs! You guys can do it, I know it. It's your time to shut up freakin Cuban and the Mavs. I'll be cheering you on tomorrow. Good luck!
