Wake Up!!! Pistons are through!

[ducks]

I hope the pistons can play better in the fourth
3 more games like that could get boring to watch
I like close games

[JamStone]

oh atleast when the spurs win it all they can say they beat a healthy team not like the heat


and the media is trying to act like it was close so more people will watch the game

Right, because Seattle without Rashard Lewis and Vladimir Radmonovic playing and Ray Allen on an injured ankle is a healthy team. And, Phoenix without Joe Johnson for the first few games is a healthy team.

Please. Injuries are part of the game. Luck is part of winning. And, for you to indict the Pistons of winning only against injured teams is hypocritical at best.

55-51 at the end of the third quarter IS CLOSE. Spurs and Manu Ginobili blew it wide open in the fourth quarter. No excuses, but the Pistons' tired legs from the Miami series showed up a lot late in the game, especially with the lack of help defense on Manu's penetration moves. Also, don't forget Robert Horry hit a last second three pointer to make the score even more lopsided.

No, the game wasn't close in the fourth quarter. But, to say it wasn't a close game at all would be untrue.

[JamStone]

so you want spur fans to respect the pistons but you put an * by one of the spurs les

Apparently, you don't understand the nuances of sarcasm. I only astericked the 1999 le to show the irony of you discrediting the Pistons success.

I don't personally discredit the 1999 le. I just know others (Phil Jackson and the media) have, and so I found it ironic that you would do the same to another team, knowing how that feels.

If you think what he says about the Pistons is bad, just wait until you read what he thinks of the Spurs most of the time. (Talking about Sequ)

word.

[TheAfricanFan]

I think the Spurs will loose focus in one of the next 4 games but this series, I think, will not go 6 games.

[Babu]

Anyone who thinks the Pistons are through is making a bad mistake...a very bad mistake.

[wildbill2u]

Ducks,

For a fan of a team with an *astericked 1999 NBA le, you sure know how to discredit another team's success.

The bottom line is that the Pistons are here in the NBA finals ALONG WITH THE SPURS. The Spurs are an unbelievable team and deserve all the respect in the world. If you don't want to give similar respect to the Pistons, that's fine. The Pistons are better than what a lot of Spurs fans think, and are definitely capable of playing better than the fourth quarter of game 1.

Pistons better be able to score more than 32 points in the second half of games if they are capable of winning the championship.

I absolutely agree.

But, are you saying the Spurs' 35 points in the first half are acceptable?

[SequSpur]

STFU. Detroit sucks. They looked terrible in Game 1. They have been the easiest opponent this year in the playoffs.

As I said before, if it wasn't for the pre2ndquarter jitters, the Spurs would have dropped a 110 spot on them and it could've been the worst defeat ever in the history of the finals.

Enjoy the ride.

Spurs in Four.

[JamStone]

Spurs points per quarter: 17, 18, 20, 29

It wasn't just the first quarter. The fourth quarter is when the blowout occurred.

But, it's fine. Keep believing the Pistons suck, and they're the easiest Spur opponent in the playoffs. When the Pistons win a game, please come back and politely allow me to cram my shoe up your a ss.

Sequ,

And if your aunt had a she'd be your uncle.

[RobinsontoDuncan]

^ What? Are you 12 years old? That has to be the stupidest post I've read in a few...years.

[May_The_Best_Team_Win]

None as stupid as the Pistons will lose in 4.

[May_The_Best_Team_Win]

There's nothing wrong with cheering on your team but Sequ needs to see a shrink if he thinks its time to bring out the broom.

Bottom line the Pistons executed poorly in the 4th quarter and Ginobli took over the game. That is the difference. In game 2 you will see Sheed score a lot more, You will see Diceman score a lot more, Ben Wallace Score a lot more, and Richard Hamilton score a lot more.

It will be another battle, but please don't discount the Pistons ability to beat your Spurs.

[SequSpur]

LMAO.

Put Ben Wallace on Duncan and Duncan will go for 40. Put Rasheed on him and he goes for 25+ and 15+ reb and a blow out.

Pick your poison.

Parker ran a in layup drill on your defense.

Manu looked better than MJ in his prime against your defense, during crunch time I might add.

Your best player Rip Hamilton looked like a scrub.

I have confidence, because the Pistons position by position can't match up to anything the Spurs have.

It's over.

[May_The_Best_Team_Win]

Dude you are smoking peyote again aren't you? If parker put on a layup drill 15 pts, what did Billups do to you guys? Hamilton had an off game but had all the looks he wanted, you will see him convert at a much higher percentage in game 2.

Scoreboard doesn't lie.

Spurs kicked their ass.

[SequSpur]

The Spurs will not be rusty again in the first quarter.

Question: Is Detroit going to be able to go 3 digits with the Spurs? No. Go back home and make some more cars.

Spurs in Four.

[May_The_Best_Team_Win]

The Pistons will have a much better offensive game in game 2 guaranteed!

No game in this series is going to be a cakewalk for either team.

[td4mvp21]

Why can't Sequ post what he wants? This a Spurs board, no one that is a Spurs fan is going to say "Well the Pistons are AWESOME. They kept it close in Game 1, but in Game 2, we all know they are gonna win because of their championship experience." If he thinks they are gonna sweep the Pistons, he should say it. Did any of you notice WHY the Spurs kept scoring higher in each quarter? They adjusted to the Pistons style of play, and that is why they are a great team. They adjusted to Phoenix's too. I personally don't think its going to be a sweep, Detroit will not let that happen.

[SequSpur]

Pistons and a guaranteed offense don't go together. What, suddenly the pistons are going to run a Phoenix type of offense through the best defense in the NBA???

Just a little FYI for you Piston fans keeping score.........

The Spurs have the best player in the NBA, both offensively and defensively. A 2 time MVP, who probably should have more MVPs but since the bull runs wild in the NBA, he doesn't.

Since Duncan has all the accolades, at the least the top ones, Ben Wallace has had a chance to win a few himself. Because head to head, Duncan has ing destroyed him defensively and offensively in every game that they have played, since his career started.

The new MJ Manu Ginobili is taking flight on your weak ass defense. Dropping 15 when your defense should be peaking.

You know, I just don't see the light that Piston fans have nor ESPN.

Pistons might win a consolitory type game, but that's it.

Spurs in Four.

[theballaplaya]

This Sequ guy is tearin you Pistons asses right the f up. I am down with my brotha Ben Wallace, but homie plays the Spurs twice a year and by the looks of this last game, he needs to forfeit some of that hardware back to the real defensive player of the year. Timmy D.

Sequ ain't playin with you fools.

[Jimcs50]

Sequ, why do you think the Spurs are so good all of the sudden...you have been telling us that they have no chance to win it all this year, all year long, now it is a lock?

WTF?

Has Pop suddenly become a good coach? Has Bowen suddenly become a good sm forward?

Has Parker suddenly become a good PG?

Has Manu suddenly become a good 2 guard?

I am confused here....please explain your catharsis.

"As long as Rasho is the starting center for the Spurs, they will never win a championship"

My tag line.

Rasho barely made the active list thanks to the trade.

Why don't you just join the Piston wagon? I'll send you a hat.
