Add me to the list congratulating the new champs
Can't wait for the rematch, although I might rather play a team that won't be so damned good.
Add me to the list congratulating the new champs
Thank you, Pistons fans. Thank you for the fight and the class. You are champions as well.
Good Game. Good Series. Props to Detroit Piston Fan with Class.
Good luck to your team. See you NEXT JUNE. Til Then...
Spurs...2005 NBA CHAMPIONS... YEAH!!!!
If an admin or mod reads this:
I suppose now is the time to change my user name. I couldn't find any option for it in the control panel...so, if you'd kindly change my name to Pisotns < Spurs
I knew all season the only team that could hang with Detroit was San Antonio. Have fun with your rally and parade. If the Pistons had to lose to any team I am glad it was the Spurs. They are the only team I can't hate. Congrats, great move putting Bowen on Billups and hitting those 3's late. Horry's 3's in game 5 came back to bite them in the ass.
Man what a series ... you can't get two more evenly matched squads .. the fundamentals, the execution ... and the defense ... and the coaching.
Since both franchises are likely to keep the core of their teams pretty much intact over the next few years, no freaking doubts that we'll be doing this a few more times in the decade.
Props to the Pistons and their fans ... a tough as nails team with a lot of heart
Here's hoping LB can stay around to coach the Pistons. He is a classy guy who has developed a class team in Detroit.
glad we had homecourt baby.... YEAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
see you next year.
I'm a Pistons fan now. Period. The team, the fans...pretty ing classy.
there were some fans getting way out of control here the last day, but even that makes everything fun once and a while... i love ben wallace... i cant even root against him. i dont think he ever gets enough credit... i said so 3 games ago... as long as he and tim stay healthy... we might do this again next year.
Until there were about 4:00 left, I was still convinced the Pistons were going to win it, the way they had been able to always make the big play the last four games.
The Pistons are truly the toughest out in the business. Assuming they can still perform this way under their presumably new coach, they next few years should be fun, if nervewracking.
What class from you guys. Thank you for one of a series.
props to the Spur 6th man. They were sooo damn loud tonight. I just kept hoping for a run that would shut them the up.
you're a better man than me, that is for sure. I talked smack, hated the pistons, and generally cussed all of michigan. I must say, win or lose, Detroit would have to me my second favorite b-ball team.
No need to respond, just thanks for being more of a class act than me. I know it hurts, but remember, these two teams are basically seperated by one or two made shots. Both great teams, and it could have easily gone either way. I think we all know that.
Good luck next year, but bad luck in the 2005-2006 finals.
Series like these define teams and players that come from all walks of life. The Spurs defined their characters even more with their players who developed their games from abroad. Being now that the Pistons have lost, I have no problem whatsoever with losing to the Spurs, and am not ashamed to do so. They are the class act of the West, and time and time again, I've nicknamed them the "Pistons of the West" since they have a great coach and players who don't showboat for more glory or cash. They have the same selfless players the Pistons do. I'm proud of the boys for putting up the fight until the very last buzzer sounded. Congrats on the championship, and have fun celebrating. Last year, I knew the Pistons winning it all was something I was going to remember for a very long time. I hope the memories are just as special.
Congratulations!
WOW. You guys really shut us down, the Pistons usually come alive and finish off teams in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter, but the Spurs shut us down. Congrats, Congrats, and Congrats to the Spurs and their great fans.
There is no team I like losing too, but if I had to, the Spurs would be my choice. The classiest, most professional team in the NBA - alongside of the Pistons. I really enjoyed this series, and I really hope the NBA can catch on to how REAL NBA teams should be like: teams that use the fundamentals; the hard defense, the dedication, that is what the NBA needs.
Enjoy your parties, and your parades, but just remeber that Detroit is coming back for you next year.
THE 2005 NBA CHAMPIONS - THE SPURS! Congrats guys!
Congrats to the Spurs, you deserved it. 2005 NBA Champions, crowned by a Die Hard Pistons fan (as hard as it is for me to call u the new champs :/) I thought i'd cry like crazy if we lost, but man, i couldn't help but feel happy for the spurs. Honestly, i wish we could merge these two teams and make them TEAM USA. Both teams play AWESOME, I couldn't help but cheer for Timmy when he hoisted the MVP, what a great player, and great guy. On my pistons, you know what? we played on the last day until the last minute, in the NBA season. We came up just a littttttttle short. I think this is as close as it gets to co-champions, the Spurs showed they had the championship toughness that everyone had been talking about the Pistons having. You guys should have a great year now, because anytime the spurs face adversity, you'll be able to remember (and gush) about how you've been there/done that, game 7 in the finals, doesn't get any rougher than that. Same with my Pistons. Ahhh my beloved Pistons. But hey, I have a feeling these teams will be back in the finals facing eachother, and you know what? I wouldnt want it any other way. Thank god we beat miami, and thank god you guys beat Pheonix. The Spurs are now my second favorite team, and i'll be cheering for them until the finals almost as hard as i'll be cheering for my 'stons. Can't tell you enough how good it feels to lose to a team like the Spurs, I feel like I need to thank you guys cuz I mean, last year yall had to lose to the LAKERS of all teams, i mean that had to have been heartbreaking! But the past two years for us we won a championship, and got to lose to a team like the SPURS, where we really cant be that upset cuz I mean cmon, the Spurs and the Pistons are like the same thing but from diff. cities. Congrats and enjoy the summer! We'll see you next year in game 7 (In Detroit...sorry, I had to leave SOME sort of threat!!!!
Well, my second favorite team won the NBA le this year. Congrats to all the Spurs fans, congrats to the organization and it's great that the classiest guy to ever play in an NBA uniform is getting a ring...again! (David Robinson)
I guess I should hand over the belt now...huh?
hopefully next June we can re-match you guys for it and do this thing all over.
-----------------
I think Robert Horry should have been Finals MVP though, I really do. The guy was always in a spot where a Piston should have been, he was flawless, he does so many things that don't get on a stat sheet and just makes so many plays.
Anyways, congrats to all you guys and hopefully we get to do this again next year, and have a different outcome.
Enjoy the parade, just thank the Pistons for pushing it back for all the people who work during the week, you guys better party up this weekend.
alright, back to me going to cry alone.
oNe
Apparently I missed the big congratulation post and created my own. The sentiments are still the same.
Thanks to all the Spur fans for their mature at ude. I hate to admit it, but I'm pretty sure that if we had won, you would have seen trolls like you've never seen trolls before.
Enjoy that parade on saturday.
Lets just alternate championships for the next 20 years
Everytime I looked at ways the Pistons needed to make themselves better I always and only looked at the Spurs roster.
Congrats again, enjoy the next few weeks. I wish Sheed would of shown up more these finals.
Piston Fans are by far the classiest fans we have had visit this site. Props to you guys and your team. Detroit went down swinging and they have tons of heart.
thanks, we are not as bad as the media makes us out to be.....
Good series Pistons.
I feel for them.
