Detroit is playing beautiful basketball

Relax guys. If they're gonna do it, its gonna be out home floor. We ain't gonna be an easy out.

It's obvious the Spurs aren't playing well, but it's moreso Detroit playing a great game.

They're defending, running, and it helps when their shots fall.

I'm glad that all of the "sweep" and "Manu for MVP" talk has ended.

These are the defending Champs, who, by the way, dismantled the heavily favored Lakers last year.

This will now become a great series--like it was supposed to be.

Well said. I agree, should be an exciting finish.

Game 1 is about the best you can hope to get out of Tim against the Pistons.

you just showed your ignorance right there!!!

remember this when you see Duncan going off

The Lakers werent last year. So mentioning that lost all credibility in the purpose of this thread. Lakers were overrated, the end.

Best game I have seen the Pistons play in years even with Rip Hamilton not being about to buy a jump shot. If Rasheed Wallace ever shows up for an entire game then the Pistons will be tough to beat.

Won by 31 with Chauncy and Rip shooting a combined 9 for 30. That won't happen again. Awesome!!!

...and they beat the Spurs were the best in the West and were annihilated by the Pistons in the Finals, so what's your point?

p.s. the statements rhetorical so don't bother responding, it's obvious you are incapable of formulating intelligent thoughts.

"reason" = due exercise of the faculty of logical thought

The Pistons aren't going to have that energy on the SBC floor. Hopefully the Spurs will have it back. And for everyone thinking about last year against the Lakers, we won't have to go back on the road for a Game 6. We get the last 2 in our building where we are nearly unbeatable. Manu is going to own the Pistons in San Antonio, and Timmy will find the fire again. And I still think we can take Game 5 since the Pistons aren't going to be playing with the back-to-the wall mentality. They are going to be way overconfident.

What for? Pop will just stand there silently, because they know what they need to do.



The players change, the tendencies don't.

If Pop deserves all the credit for us having two rings, he deserves all the blame for us looking like .

We won two les because of David Robinson and Tim Duncan.

Some people like watching their favorite team getting their teeth kicked in, I sure as don't.

Your an idiot. I read your, jumping off the ship thread, after the first loss. Your not a fan your a t.v. watcher. 90% of the Pistons fans would take Popovich in a heartbeat.
