I was thinking the pick and roll had been taken out of the playbook.
Not worried really....why?
1) Way too early in the game
2) Detroit's offense isn't explosive enough to put us away
3) Our defense would get us back into the game
4) Manu was playing horribly the first quarter, not gonna happen all game.

I was thinking "I can't wait to rip those guys a new one on SpursTalk.com tomorrow!"
If it was phoenix I would be a little worried but 13 points early in the 1st quarter isn't a big deal with the offensive team the spurs have.
This is the talk that I'm speaking about. It will be a war. You're indicating that the Spurs have it wrapped up and put under trhe tree already. What gives me hope? The Pistons are the Champs... They didn't get there by folding after a loss on the road. What gives you confidence in your victory? Spurs looked horrible the first half and vice/versa.. I know you want your team to win but be realistic. You talk nonsense. If I watched last night's gm and said "who we are outmatched" I would admit it. I didn't see that. Speak with facts, not emotion.
I think the Spurs winning is realistic.I know you want your team to win but be realistic.
I asked u a fair question but u avoided it. Am I convinced we gonna win? u bet.
Spurs in 6!
What gives me confidence:
1. The pistons beat weak, short handed ind/mia team in prolonged series.
2. That defending champion thing doesn't work with me. Half of the lakers were hurt
3. The spurs were rusty the first half and still blew out det
4. det was really working and gettin nothing in their offense
5. the spurs have home court advantage
6. the spurs have a better front court match up
7. the spurs have the 2 best players in the finals
8. the spurs can limit your best player to < 40% fg
9. our best player scored 20+ pts with the supposed best defender guarding him
10 the det offense is mediocre at best, unless you play against the weak east
Dude you cant lump all Spurs fans in w/ a few idiots. If thats the case, then... "Whats with all them Piston fans that throw cups and run all over the court?!?!??!?!!"
Oh and BTW, I was thinkin, crap, I knew they were gonna be rusty. They will make a run and win this game. It will be close, but they will win it. Well they did win, but it was not as close as I thought. I honestly didnt think anyone would score 80!
I was thinking, "this was about what I expected at the start of Game 1."
I was surprised the Spurs climbed back in it so quickly. I figured they would have to scrap all second half to get close again.
I was thinking " , this isn't good". I wasn't worried about our lack of offense so much as our lack of defense. I knew once we started playing defense the offense would flow but I was genuinely concerned that we would dig ourselves too deep a hole to get out of against a defensive club like the Pistons. Being down 13 points against the Pistons is like being down 25 points against most other clubs.
I just said they had to find a way to get through that first quarter without blowing the game, although I was worried that it was starting to look like last year's game 1.
I was thinking the Spurs were TOO RUSTY. Where is Manu?Where is Tony?
Is the ball too slippery?Where's the defense?
As far as the Pistons,I was thinking: damn they got an awsome defense.Damn they don't miss shots.Damn,damn,damn!
I was thinking W40!
When will fatigue set in for Detroit? You can't win a championship without a bench. Arrojo and Hunter were playing horrible and Mcdyess is inconsistent.
i was nervouse at first... when i was seeing popavich playing the players that haven't played all season...i didn't know what he was doing...they came through though....when they started coming up i felt reasurred....theyy kept comiing go spurs go
Yesterday I bet my parents (who live in Michigan, by the way) that the Spurs would win in six, or they could have my daughter. So, I was thinking, "Man, I'll have to send an extra large package of diapers with her!"
My immediate reaction was remembering what someone on the forum had said last week about rust, and how he thought we'd come out and struggle initially. I also fell back on the old standby of cursing at Tony Parker for not being more agressive (he only tried one floater in the first quarter!). Mostly, I was horrified as if I had somehow misjudged my team all season. Then, like they always do, this team collected themselves and fed the thing that always works--defense--until they'd clawed themselves back into it.
I knew when Horry and Big Dog stripped hunter for the break and dunk that we would win. One big burst from the crowd is all the food Manu Ginobili needs.
Hunter freaking sucks. He shouldn't be playing at all in my opinion.
I was really upset at the way the game started. I couldn't believe that the Spurs would come out that flat in Game 1 of the Finals at home. Not only did they look rusty, but they looked completely intimidated by the Pistons D. But then I became greatful that we were playing the Pistons, who often go on worse offensive droughts than we do. I knew that if we just started matching their defensive intensity, we could claw our way back in, and we did. Once Timmy and then Manu got going, I felt pretty good that we would win.
