Hmmm, let's see...the Pistons have not won here in S.A. in over 10 years. In other words, the fat lady is at the podium and she's clearing her throat to sing.
How else can I spell this out for the Mavs most illiterate and assinine fan? Ballgame...scoreboard...game-friggin'-over! Let the parade begin, baby!
As I, and many other astute students of the game, predicted from the get-go...Spurs in 6!
Rack that, you troll!
Easier said than done. Losses like that hurt your confidence. We know from the experience. The Spurs were on a tear last year in the second round, we lost two blah blah, then game 5-we lost by one to the Lakers and we wen't downhill in Game 6. We were the defending champs at the time.
But, Detroit keeps proving everyone wrong so hopefully they won't do it again.
this is an example of "positive self-talk". Using this kind of positive self speech to oneself can help you to focus on a task with out being bogged down with thoughts of your impending total destruction .
Because that's a few folks' actual livelihood, maybe? Or their patrons were enjoying too many barracho beans in the Riverwalk restaurants?

People keep talking about how Horry ripped our heart out w/ that shot, but to me it wasn't that big of a deal. We had time on the clock to win it, and didn't. at the end, the onus was on us. I don't feel that any panic button has been pushed. If anythinng, I felt that the Spurs had alot more pressure on their behalf to win game 5 than us. If this was a different team, than maybe I'd agree that the team just wouldn't be able to recover. However this team earned their rings by excelling during pressure. I strongly believe that we will win tonight. Game 7 who knows? but tonight will be our game.
bla,bla,blah broken record forum
Mavricks suck... Detroit sucks.. Spurs RULE...
BYE!
I agree, it hurt me a lot more when we got blown out the first 2 games.
Game 5 was great basketball and the Spurs were more clutch than we were.
And for those that are trying to drum up a Spurs victory based on history of "10 years without a home loss to the Pistons" let us all be mindful of that timeless and famous quote;
"Victories not yet won shall never have as an ally the victories of history"
-Christian Marlowe- <---(that would be me)
anyone know where I can get a trademark on this quote?
(and I already did a google search, no plagiarism)
From listening to Larry Brown and looking at his body language, you'd think that the Pistons were already dead. I know that game 5 was a tough loss, but the Spurs looked like ass in games 3 & 4 and Pop didn't look half as sullen as Brown does now. If he's bringing that kind of energy to his team, the Pistons and their fans shouldn't be too sad if he goes to Cleveland next season.
But dood, losses like that, you just don't bounce back from; all these Spurs fans know it for a fact (I wonder why...). Remember that triple-OT heartbreaker against the Nets last year? It put the Pistons down 3-2 with the next game on the road, and we all know how THAT turned out...
we aren't the NETS. think about what you are saying
Heartbreaking or not, pushed panic buttons or not, doesn't matter.
Statistics don't matter. History doesn't matter (they can't take my degree back because of that statement, right? Right?).
Which team shows up and plays tonight is what matters. Who will be more aggressive? Who will go after the boards? Whose offense will be most productive? Whose defense will clamp down hardest? Whose team will make the fewest mistakes? the fewest turnovers? the fewest crucial fouls?
We won't know until after tip off. This is no sure thing, folks. The only sure thing is that we don't want a game 7.
All of that being said, yeah, Larry Brown looks like Robert Horry stole his son's baseball bat and kicked the dog on the way out. . . that is not confidence inspiring if you are a Pistons fan, unless Larry Brown does not traditionally impart energy or encouragement to his team (I am not being sarcastic, I don't know).
I KNOW you're not the Nets, thankyouverymuchmistertriviaguy. (and you forgot to add that the Finals have a 2-3-2 format, so Detroit doesn't get Game 7 at home this time).
Point is, I've read a lot of folks here saying that a loss like Game 5 tears your heart out, it's a dagger, you don't bounce back from it, blah blah blah....which says to me that some folks here still don't know NOTHIN' about the Pistons. But I think you're about to learn, and I am going to SERIOUSLY enjoy watching it happen.
See that the thing - the format screws with everything. When we lost (which, frankly, was more devastating than the Horry's 3 - Hail Mary from Duncan goes in on a prayer, leaving less than half a second on the clock and he scores, as opposed to Tony's foul on Rip's elbow, causing his missed shot), we went there and could have come home. The Pistons, same deal.
Pistons have to take two in SA - we haven't had back to back losses in SA all year. In fact, we've only had 5 losses all year. So that can't be encouraging.
Neither can the fact that SA has only lost 2 possible elimination games since Pop took over.
Of course, SA can't be comfortable knowing how well the Pistons are doing with not being eliminated, or their game 7 records.
There's no way to use history as a gauge, even the recent history of this series.
It's going to be good in a way that gives me ulcers, no doubt.
I hope when the Pistons are up by 6 at halftime you all come in here and give me my props. I never said The Pistons would win it all. And I nver said the Spurs would not win it all.
This is not about being a Troll or trying to get under your skin, This Topic is about this city and you all so called fans that are acting as though you won game Six already,
My point is do you really think the Pistons will travel all the way to San Antonio just to lose my 20? You don't think being the 2004 NBA Champions means you have something to fight for? I don'y buy all the meaningless trivia about how the Pistons have not won in San Antonio in over 8 years etc.... just ask the red sox's fans about letting a curse control thier lives,
Look the Bottom-Line is I wish the Spurs well, But show some class and win Game SIX before you Celebrate, To gas up the river barges is one thing,
But to be already sitting on them with your pom poms and listening to we are the Champions is counting your chickens to soon, that's why they have game Sevens To bring people like you back to earth, Celebrate with all your heart just win game six first is that to much to ask?
See you all for Game 7 and remember you heard it here first....
remember game four..............
Ps: If I sound messed up ,I blame the flies...
What's with the white boy wearing the "I hate white people" t-shirt?
I beleive we have no more space in the bandwagon. we can tie your ass to the flagpost though.
man, why does keda look like he's waiting for you to blow him....every time i see that pic, i crack up....
Mouse, you cuz Spurs fans don't show faith, and then when other's 'count their chickens'.
We all know it ain't over til it's over. Value Possessions and Hustle, all will be well in Spursland.
Go Spurs Go!
I was so about to ask that...
I don't want a seat on your cheesy Spurs wagon. I am a Maverick fan to the bone sa, But we are both from Texas, and I have many Spur fans as freinds, I do live in Texas, and I like posting at SpursTalk
I have no problem with any team winning tonight, I just don't like Bi polar Spur fans gasing up the river boats one day and are diving off the wagon the next. after game four you couldn't find a A Spurs fan, after game five everyone is naming their kids Big shot rob
do you see my point?
Looks like mouse was right once again.....
I think Mouse was off target on this one but he gave it a good shot.
You people need to bow down and kiss mouse's feet...
You would think someone could give me credit, maybe I should give my mo-jo to the Pistons for game seven,,
You should of had the GTG at Kori's so I can bring my lucky dog
