    Those powerhouse Nets have to be top ten ever to make it to the Finals! They were something magical!

    Didn't that weak team beat the Spurs twice in the Finals?

    Didn't the Spurs win that series?

    all that matters is the final outcome.

    The Spurs have yet to face a D the caliber of the Pistons. Again - Pistons O is not bad and Larry Brown will no doubt find the Spurs weakness and exploit it. The Det bigs can shoot outside drawing Duncan out from the basket.
    The problem is that the Spurs' offense is a tad bit better than the Pistons' offense...and the Spurs' defense is slightly better than the Pistons'.


    Parker will not be able to penetrate until he proves he can hit the J. Which if he is on- Spurs are in good shape, if he is off- the Pistons will lay back and take away the penetration and stop the Spurs.
    I'm not sure where/when this Parker as awful jumpshooter legend was born but Piston fan will be in for a rude awakening if they let Tony shoot the open J.

    You can always throw it in to Duncan, but Det will deny him the ball or he will get his at the rest of your teams expense. The Shaq D. Pistons will play Manu and Duncan like they played Shaq and Wade or Shaq and Kobe. We will see if you are truly mor ethan a two man team.
    Yet, of course, the mighty Piston offense will somehow manage to score against the best defense in basketball.

    Right.

    cool double Duncan so guys like Horry, Barry, Bowen, Ginobili, and Robinson are WIDE open for threes.

    Sounds good to me.
    No need to double Shaq, no need to double Duncan

    Sure, but that wasn't his point.

    A weak team took 2 from the NBA champion. If you call the Pistons a fluke, what the do you call that?

    The Pistons' offense was ranked 17th in the NBA for team efficiency. For every 100 posessions, they scored 103.6 points. The Spurs were 6th in the league at 105.7. A difference of 2.1.

    On defense, the Pistons were ranked 3rd in the NBA, giving up 98.7 points for every 100 posessions. The Spurs were first, giving up 96.5. A difference of 2.2.

    You might take this to mean that the margin of difference between the Spurs' and Pistons' offenses is the same as the margin between their defenses.

    respond with basketball takes, not racism.
    what do you expect from people from detroit? Riots at the game, bomb threats, riots after victories. It's one of the worst places in america.

    Hasn't TD himself said that Sheed is one of the only guys in the NBA to give him trouble?

    Yeah...in 1999.

    "trouble" != "contain", Piston fan.

    Maybe Sheed will glare at Duncan real mean like. Yeah.

    Then can we end with the Lakers without Malone stuff? There are no flukes in a 4 round, 7 game championship series.

    In the NCAA single elimination games, yes there are flukes. Not in a series and not in the NBA...

    The Lakers with Malone were a much better team than the one without it. Especially when you consider he was giving them 40 minutes a night and his backup was Brian Cook or whoever.
