This Will End Tonight.

This thing ends tonight, and its going to be fun.

Here's my take:

With all the talk of Detroit winning when their back is against the wall, the Tim Duncan Spurs have never gone to a game 7 when in this situation.

So something's gonna break tonight.

The fact that Robert Horry just would not let the Spurs lose game 5 inspires me. This Spurs team has the Heart and the Ability to beat the Pistons tonight.

I will be very surprised and disappointed if the Spurs lose tonight. This isn't Game 3 or 4 where the Spurs looked like they were playing a regular season game.

The Spurs know what's at stake. Tim wants his 3rd ring. Horry wants his 6th. Manu, Tony and Bowen want their 2nd. Pop has made the adjustments for a Spurs victory tonight.

I feel it, Heart and Mind!

Who's going to lead it tonight? I have a feeling that Tony Parker is going to have a great game.

Well my dream told me that Spurs would win Game 5 and Championship in Game 6. Part 1 of my dream came true, now i'm waiting for Part 2 to come true. Go Spurs Go!

My prediction is that the game will be close then the spurs will go on a run. Det will start in about the officiating and will lose their concentration. The spurs will end up winning by 5-9pts. That's what my mind is saying, I try not to listen to my heart when I make predictions.

Here's one thing that everyone seems to overlook:

The Spurs have been on the road for an ETERNITY, in NBA terms. One week away from S.A., and believe me, they're so thrilled to be playing back at the SBC that they're going to be juiced to the max tonight. You watch, it will be like Manu and Tony had a strong shot of espresso before tipoff. You're going to see fast breaks, Horry, Barry and Bowen draining 3s, and the Pistons getting run out of the building. Duncan's going for a 35-15 performance, to put an end to all this 'Is he MVP-worthy?' crap.

Spurs 104, Pistons 85.

I agree with 2centsworth that the Spurs are downplaying some injuries. However, I think the high-decibel fans at the SBC will energize the Spurs and they will play their best game of the Series tonite and wrap it up. I look for a huge game from Tim and big games by Manu and Horry---those two have a killer instinct that won't let them lose tonite. The Pistons will put up a of a fight though, and both Wallaces might foul out.

Who's going to lead it tonight? I have a feeling that Tony Parker is going to have a great game.

I think Tony will lead in assists (Manu lead in Game 5), and Manu will lead in points (24?).

Tim will just be his MVP self, 20 pts, 18 reb.
