Who wins tommorow

[THE X-FACTOR]

I'm just excited to see Acker finally play. I'd prefer a Piston win, but it's January, so really.. who cares? I wasn't going to get worked up by a win on Christmas day, and I sure as won't get worked up by a win or loss a couple weeks later.

The Pistons have nothing to lose, the Spurs should win at home, they are the champs, the Pistons have not won in San Antonio (regular season) in 8 seasons. They almost won last season in Ben's first game after being out for 6 games after the brawl. If the Pistons 3's are falling and they can get anything out of their young bench they might win otherwise the Spurs should.

If the man in your sig breaks out of his shooting slump, we've got a good chance. We'll see though. 2 for 9 from deep was ugly against the Hornets. Even if he did hit a big one in the 4th quarter.

Wouldn't it be nice to see both teams show up and play well at the same time? We can always hope.

If that happens then the pistons still have no chance at SBC

correction: at&t center

The Spurs scored 8 points in the 1st quarter that 1st game, that won't happen again.

I think that too, but it'd be nice to see once and for all how the teams stack up when both of them show up. I'm still not convinced that it happened in the Finals last year, but I'm obviously biased. Probably the losing team will always say "we should have done X" and the winning team will always say "we were the reason they didn't do X"

Yea, when the first 4 games are blowouts, you know the losing team didn't play anywhere close to their potential. Between these 2 teams the result should never be more than single digits. They are just too evenly matched.

But after those 4 games both teams showed up with what amounted to be a best of 3 series

Still, I would have much rather seen a high calibur best of 7. I would rather have had the Pistons hang tough in the first 2, and the Spurs show up to games 3 and 4. I don't care for games that are decided by halftime.

That may be true, but perhaps I should explain the "I'm obviously biased" part: I was of the opinion that the Spurs, after blowing out the Suns, actually managed to be mentally ready for the Finals. And after two really easy games, they lifted, and never really managed to regain their momentum. The last time they did that the Lakers ended up in the Finals. Whether or not the Pistons showed up for the first two games, they were able to jump on the Spurs and outplay them for really the next five games, and they damn near won four of them. My again, biased, opinion is that the series probably wouldn't have gone seven if the Spurs had been given any resistance in the first two games. I think it actually worked out as an advantage for the Pistons that they were so up and down.

The worst part of it is that you are always guessing whether or not your team is just really good, or if the other team just took a nap. Who the wants a best of 3 series? You can't tell who the better team is.

Spurs will win big.

Looks like you're the lone Piston Fan that believes that will happen. In the future please consult with the optimistic Piston Fans before posting a comment like this, it's embarrassing.
