[SPARKY]

June 16, 2005

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., June 16 (Ticker) -- Rasheed Wallace arrived at The Palace of Auburn Hills Thursday wearing a Philadelphia Flyers jersey of Dave Schultz, who was known as "The Hammer."

He and the rest of the Detroit Pistons brought it down hard on the San Antonio Spurs.

Wallace had his best game of the series with 14 points, eight rebounds and two blocks as the Pistons used brute force to nail the Spurs, 102-71, and even the NBA Finals at two games each.

"They were physical again, and they got us on our heels again, we reacted very poorly to it, and you see the result," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said.

What a consolation...

[TampaDude]

Hmmm...as I recall, the Spurs WON that series and the Championship...let's see now....yup, here it is...the San Antonio Spurs, 2005 NBA Champions...it's right here next to the asterisk...

[SPARKY]

Bump.

[timvp]

Good comparison. The Spurs looked bad last night but not Game 4 vs. Pistons in 2005 bad

[TampaDude]

Also, don't forget...

2005 Pistons >>>>>>>>>> 2009 Mavs

True.

And this thread was started in 2007 after Game 3 against the Jazz when the Jazz destroyed the Spurs. Their fans were crazy, they were hitting all their shots and Duncan was horrible.

Game 4 was a different story.

Yeah the point guards were at least able to get the ball past half court.

I'm pretty sure, I think, that MB is Sparky, but is MB also No Limit Army Commander?

We can't help it. We have been a Championship team for a long time. We can't think any different even if it doesn't make sense. We will always have hope that these Spurs can do it again. It's just the way it is.

[Summers]

Dang, this was a nice bump.

How many championship do you think the Mavs can win this season?

TIA.

I think the Spurs can lose this series, but I don't think last night's game was at all proof that the Spurs can't win this series. I think that's a pretty big difference.

The bump should be to remind Spurs fans that we've seen playoff trouncings before and that good things can still happen after one of those asskickings has been delivered. In fact, it's happened several times before.

So... who's going to play as Manu, and who's going to play as Horry?

Seriously though, I'll stop believing when they lose four. Regulators.

We may lose in the 2nd round, that's VERY possible. But we are NOT going away quietly against a gutless Mavs team. Rebump this when you beat us and advance to the 2nd round, and then talk your trash.
