Great Game Spurs.. but it's not over yet.
I'm spending time in Spurs chat because as a Pistons fan, I feel like I need to take my lumps, and get this whole thing out of my system before Game 6.
Piston fans, it's goign to get ugly from here on out. In the media, and especially on these boards. You can't give up yet.
The Pistons and the Spurs traded blows the first four rounds, and in round five, we got punched right in the eye.
But you have to win four.
So what if the Pistons haven't won since 1843 in San Antonio.
So what if we got blown out in Games 1 and 2?
So what if they took our hearts out from our chests in Game 5?
You're the defending champs. Time to prove it.
Yes, I'm expecting the trash talk from Spurs fans. The "PISTONS SUCK!" and the "I TOLD YOU WE'D WIN!" and "F-YOU TROLLS!".
I'm taking my lumps. You want to tear me and my team? I've created the thread to do it.
When Game 6 comes, my team will be ready. This season isn't over yet. If you think it is, then you haven't been watching the Pistons this year.

How's the fishing in Detroit this time of the year?

Re: Great Game Spurs.. but it's not over yet.
Good point WDB....personally...I am momentarily relived but the nervousness will return soon enough.
-
Re: Great Game Spurs.. but it's not over yet.
IT'S OVER
You know it, we know it, the Spurs know it, the Pistons know it.
Pistons haven't won in SA in 100 years, and they won't win 2 games @SBC this week.
NO FUCKIN WAY

Of course we will. We love the challenge. I'm not actually too concerned yet. Still feeling pretty confident in our guys ability to get it done.

Re: Great Game Spurs.. but it's not over yet.
WAY TO MAN UP :smokin
SPURS IN SIX :elephant
OH YEAH PISTONS SUCK
I TOLD YOU WE'D WIN
F-OFF TROLLS
THAT SHOULD COVER IT :lol :lol

Re: Great Game Spurs.. but it's not over yet.
It fucks with your mind when you lose a game like that. Us Spurs fans know better than anyone else. Spurs will win in 6.

Enjoy it. You've got two days until proving grounds.
Fishing in Detroit ain't all that great, but once you get out of the city, we've got a few nice fishin' holes around the metro area. C'mon out, and we'll all have beers.
The whole 'going fishing' thing doesn't really work in this series though, because even if the Pistons lose game 6, isn't the season over for BOTH teams? :hat
Hold onto your hat, fellas. I'm thinking this thread's going to get kind of wily. Then again, I did ask for it.
I'll take 2 lumps of sugar in my Pistons mug, thank you.

Re: Great Game Spurs.. but it's not over yet.
WayDowntownGang, I said much the last things last year when Spurs lost game 5. Didn't work out that way. The loss seemed to take too much out of SA. Detroit is in a slightly worse position because both games are in SA.
Having said that, if Detroit does win game 6, then it is a tossup again. SA hasn't had a game 7 in a long, long time. And I think Detroit is a lot tougher than SA.

Calling me WayDowntownGang, I don't know if that's a typo or a rip, but it was actually kind of funny.
Detroit may NOT win Game 6, and the trophy may very well go to a team that completely deserves it. The Spurs are an amazing, amazing team, whether they win the series in 6, 7, or lose in 7. Whoever holds the trophy up this year is going to be the undisputed, deserving champion. Anyone who denies that is lying to themselves.
But as a Piston fan, I have to hold onto whatever I have.
All I have left is getting to Game 7.

Re: Great Game Spurs.. but it's not over yet.
no question its not over. but this was the test your balls game. i've never seen anyone recover from a performance like the one horry dropped on detroit... and he's gonna be pretty hyped for game 6... and he just gave everyone else a shot of "lets do this thang" and when you take that into account...

I agree it's not over but I'm so happy this is coming back to texas.
No more pistons crazy crowds , no more pistons basketbbbaall, I want to see how they survive at the SBC center.

Re: Great Game Spurs.. but it's not over yet.
Look man, I'm not disrespecting you guys with my gloat thread. That was aimed at the people calling Tim Duncan out and saying this Spurs team was soft. I knew this team was too good to get humiliated a third time in Detroit. This team has shown too much this season to go out like everyone was saying they would.
-
Re: Great Game Spurs.. but it's not over yet.
No.. Champions of any pro sport are not subject to "gone fishing" dude... :)

Re: Great Game Spurs.. but it's not over yet.
I'm thinking that you're going to see a different Pistons team at SBC on Tuesday than you did in Game 1 and 2. Pop and Larry have each other figured out, and now it's a matter of who makes the better adjustments. I have a feeling from here on out, you won't be seeing any blowouts... and least I hope not. Pop did a great job of keeping his team in the game late with the Pistons up by 4.
If the Spurs can pull away early though, it doesn't look good for my boys. I'm calling Pistons by 8 on Tuesday. Why? Don't know.. but I'm a Piston fan. We need this one.

Nah, not taken like a gloat thread. You guys won, you deserve to be happy about it. There's a lot of "HA HA ! FUCK YOU I TOLD YOU WE'D WIN!" threads made by people that you know are just rubbing it in. That's ok, too. If there was no rubbing it in, Sports wouldn't be as much fun.
Passion.
Both teams fan's have it. Without passion, it just wouldn't be the same.
There's a difference between mature passion and immature passion though, and that's where some fill in. You're OK in my book. I can't wait to stay and chat once the season is over. Hopefully that will be Thursday night.

Re: Great Game Spurs.. but it's not over yet.
great game by both teams but the spurs still need to focus on closing out the seris. the pistons are still the champs until we win 4 games. go spurs go

Re: Great Game Spurs.. but it's not over yet.
No way is it over. Spurs still need to win one more. Still, I like our chances: need one of two at home.
And it looks like Robert Horry is on a Mission from God or something!!!
Props to all you Piston fans. You've showed great class, better class than I would have had we lost this game. I think the Spurs needed this one bad.
-
Re: Great Game Spurs.. but it's not over yet.
Absolutely this series is not over. History means nothing because records are meant to be broken. This will be a hardened Pistons team, much different than games 1/2. I expect it to be another close game but Duncan and Manu will not let a game 7 happen.
And also major props to most of you Pistons fans. Very classy indeed.
-
Re: Great Game Spurs.. but it's not over yet.
Well, I thought I'd sleep on it and feel better.
I was wrong.
Does anyone else do this? Your team loses a huge game, you feel sick to your stomach. You don't want to, but you can't help but watch the replays on ESPN over and over and over again. It's like personal torture.
Side note: It is kind of funny to see the tone of a messageboard change overnight. Try to keep the boat stable while all the people who jumped off are trying to climb back on. Props to you fans who stayed true the entire time.
I wish Game 6 was tonight, the wait is killer, probably for both teams.

Let's do this.
Also, make sure you stick around after the season regardless of the outcome. Always good to have other teams legitimate fans on the forum.

Re: Great Game Spurs.. but it's not over yet.
NBA Playoffs 2005, Tuesday, 21 June, Game6, SBC, San Antonio, Texas:
"The Larry O'Brian Trophy Will Be In The Building"
The Spurs, with credit to Pop between Games4 and 5, have re-discovered their heart and their fight. The Spurs will not allow a Game7.

True. True. :lol
-
Re: Great Game Spurs.. but it's not over yet.
I doubt the Pistons will win 1, never mind 2 in SA.
But I've never thought the Pistons would win the series and I never thought they would win on our home court. So ofcourse I"m thinking "it's over".
If I was a Piston's fan I'd be saying: "It ain't over"
But as a Spurs fan I'm saying: "it's over"... which is consistant.
-
Re: Great Game Spurs.. but it's not over yet.
The series is not over yet. The Spurs still need to come out and play hard and continue to play with heart.
-
Re: Great Game Spurs.. but it's not over yet.
I love the fact that Spurs stole one in Detroit but I haven't forgotten they got blown out in the first two and squeaked by in the third in OT with a "Fathers Day Miracle" peformance by Big Shot Rob...
This Pistons team is damn good and far from dead...It's an elimination game against a talented well coached team with a huge amount of heart...anyone that thinks home court guarantees another blowout is fucking delusional...
-
Re: Great Game Spurs.. but it's not over yet.
The Pistons are not dead but they are wounded.
-
Re: Great Game Spurs.. but it's not over yet.
Props to the Pistons. The one bad thing about Game 5 is that one of the teams had to lose. Both teams gave a gritty, gutty performance.

Re: Great Game Spurs.. but it's not over yet.
WDB...I'll give you credit....you got some serious gonads to come into the hottest spurs board and talk shyt. My hat, err derby, err hard hat is off to ya to come in here and deal with these jokers.
Now with that said, you know this is over this week right....Pistons are not winning two games in San Antonio...the choke status is officially removed off of this team after they took your heart, stole your daddy's oldsmobile and blew up the Ford building in that that overtime win.
By the way, has anyone seen Tayshaun Prince???? His psyche is looking for him this morning.

Right now, games 1,2,3,4 and 5 means nothing. The Spurs got blown out in 3 and 4 at the Palace, but win game 5. So why can't the Pistons win Game 6 after getting blown out in 1 and 2? The Pistons play much better at these situations, and the Spurs are not exactly known to step on their opponents' throats when they have them down. The series can very possibly go to 7 games, but of course, I want this thing to end at 6, I really need my sleep.

Re: Great Game Spurs.. but it's not over yet.
Put me in the corner of you have to win 4. Do the Spurs have the advantage? Yes. Do they play better at SBC? Absolutely. It has been a long time since Pistons won at SBC ----- with that being said: Spurs must keep their focus. Spurs must look to win using home crowd to make them play better and get refs' calls, not by counting on Pistons coming in dejected and uninspired. Remember just like Horry excels at these moments, so do the Pistons. They love to come back when their backs are against the wall.
-
Re: Great Game Spurs.. but it's not over yet.
I like you WDB. You're pretty cool.
Last night was horrible and tense - I need my sleep! I do expect a different Pistons team - one that doesn't want it to end. Here's hoping the Spurs show up and end it - game seven is not an adventure I want or need. My therapist said to REMOVE stress from my life, damn it! Are the Spurs going to pay for my extended therapy if we lose (no I'm not in therapy because of the Spurs, the obsession is not that bad).
Anyhow. So far it's coming out just like I predicted (though Timmy is falling short of my projeccted 32 high score. . .), which is scary. If it continues, we win Tuesday.
I'm waiting for the Pistons - let's BRING IT ON!
-
Re: Great Game Spurs.. but it's not over yet.
"I do expect a different Pistons team"
And you should expect a different Spurs team, as well.
One that doesn't want an anything-can-happen Game7.
One that sees a ring only 48 minutes away.
Losing 2 @Auburn Hills was extremely distasteful, but the compensation will that winning the Title @SBC will be SO DELICIOUS.
-
Re: Great Game Spurs.. but it's not over yet.
"It was a good game, both teams played hard."
For once in this damn series that platitude is correct. Props to the Pistons fan that were willing to show up here Monday morning, and for that I'll give you team some deserved props. The Pistons really scared the shit out of me with that game, and I can see plenty of places for them to still improve for game six. The same could be said for the Spurs too, but the Pistons just wouldn't quit in game five and I don't expect them to do the same in this series. Game six should be a classic.

Re: Great Game Spurs.. but it's not over yet.
pistons will never recover from the game 5 loss.
it will sting too much.
aside from the fact of course that the pistons havent won in SA for years.

The pistons have lost and recovered from games like that before. Detroit will win game 6 and SA's lack of game 7 experience will leave them short on thursday.

When has Detroit lost a Game 5 in the Finals like that and gone on to win 2 in a row on the road?
Piston Fan is smoking some strong rock today.

They don't have Game 7 experience because they know how to close out series in 6 games or less.
