If Detroit wins tonight we may also see a sweep in both CF's, has that ever happened before?
Never in the HISTORY of the NBA, has the road team in both conferences won both games of the conference finals.
If Detroit wins tonight, history will be made.
My thought on this is, that the 2 seeds were the best teams in both conferences this year for the first time in history.
Detroit can win tonight.
I am pulling for Miami, because I want the Spurs to finish a few days ahead of Detroit before they play each other in the Finals.
If Detroit wins tonight we may also see a sweep in both CF's, has that ever happened before?
Well there was, IMO, never really a doubt as to who the better team was in the west. The Spurs spent much of the home stretch of the season fighting injuries, but the Pistons have looked far less invincible this year, at least during stretches. You could really see it during the Pacers series when the Pistons would just take parts of the game off, and then suddenly flip a switch and look like champions again. If they keep that switch in the "on" position this series we'll see some history tonight, but I really don't see a sweep going down. Wade is too good to play that bad during the entire series.
Dr. Jim...I am happy for your team...They have been professional and they played through adversity for years...But there are not many people that get excited about the Pistons & I think the TV ratings show this...
Somehow, when this thing is over & the Spurs fans get a taste of the DUH-TROIT thugs and their chair throwing fans...Many of you will be longing for the days of the Sushi Crowd that needs cue cards to tell them when to applaud at The Staples Center...
That's a good point. Those Detroit fans are brutal. I remember reading a story about how some Pistons fans found out what hotel the Lakers were staying at and proceeded to drive around the block honking their horns at three in the morning the night before a game. Big props to the Suns fans. Last night there was kind of a ticky tack foul called on Marion or someone and the place erupted into boos, followed by a chant. I was straining to figure out what kind of anti-ref thing it was and I was pleasantly surprised that all they were saying was, "Let's Go Suns."
And there's the chants of "Dee-fense!" CLAP,CLAP "Dee-fense!", which has to be the most disorienting thing to the Suns, because their fans are yelling at them in a foreign tongue.
LOL, too true. And you think Big Shot Bob has a rough time understanding Manu?
As for Detriot - even if they win tonight, I think Miami will make it a series yet. First, I think Detroit, reigning champs though they are, are just not as mentally tough as the Spurs. I think they've been awfully complacent in the Finals, and are likely to be a little flat tonight.
The real question for me though is, will Miami step up? They've coasted through a lot of the season in awe of Shaq's size and D Wade's fantastic season. Well, Detriot is not afraid of Shaq's size, he's not playing well, and D Wade was shut out last game. Will they adjust and fight for their win? I think so - I hope so.
Much as I want the awesome defensive battle of a Spurs/Pistons finals, I also want a win, which will come more easily against Miami.
Regardless, I want Miami to win tonight, because we look like we close out in less than six, and I want some rest for our boys!
I still think the Eastern CF will go the distance. Detroit's offense can go AWOL at times.
Wade and Shaq are too good to go out like punks in 4 or 5 games.
DWade is facing the biggest challenge of his young career.
He really sucked on O and D in Game1.
Thanks to Pistons extending their summer celebrations and laurel-sitting through Christmas 04, the Spurs have HCA.
Remember Larry whining about the Pistons' bad play when the Pistons sucked in Nov/Dec?
"I never thought I'd have to coach effort, not with these guys"
"too good" NO
"punks" YES
Besides the Shaq Lakers went out in 5 against the Pistons.What is the difference against a lesser Shaq Heat?Look I hate to say it but its the truth:
Wade is overrated!Truth is Kobe is way better than Wade as a sidekick.
The rest of the Miami team sux!
The Pistons have a Spur of the late and early 00's offense. Erratic! Great defense but erratic offense.
Like when Spurs fans went and pulled the fire alarm at the Lakers hotel in the 99 playoffs?
ya hi i am some gay spurs fan and im a front runner. All spurs fans are front runnners and straight up losers.
??? Huh?
Well E20 the first step to solving a problem is admitting you have one. I hope the good folks at Charter Real can help you. And if you can't get help at Charter, please, get help somewhere.
ya u all u guys are all gay
I think someone stole this fool's login. Either that or he's trippin on some and I'm getting jealous.
Excuse me?
i think someone hijacked the little guys computer for a minute.
i wanted detroit in game 1, but i'm on miami's bandwagon for game 2 fo sure.
agreed (not sure with which)

Respect!
You're right. I remember reading somewhere that the use of puncuation marks is a warning sign of sexuality. You need to calm the down. It's not like anyone on this board is on the Spurs coaching staff or roster. We may be looking down the line hypothetically but what's the harm in that? If the Spurs drop the next four and one of the players admits at a press conference that they read a bunch of posts about getting ready for Detroit on the fan board and that caused them to lose focus then you can proceed with your idiocy.
Holy , that wasn't me!
I'm gonna change my password and be more careful who knows my password. It was probably my friend who is a Flakers fan and knows I go to this site and knows I always use the same password for everything.
The only chance Miami has is if Shaq becomes the 35-point, 15-rebound vintage, which I don't think is gonna happen.
"The only chance Miami has is"
DWade MUST have a big game, too, not like Game1. Shaq can't do it by himself, and all the role players have to help.
If thats so, then you might
wanna change it for your bank account,
bills and so on otherwise your "friend"
might make life a little harder finacially
There are some things that pistons fans have done of which I did not approve, but I am DAMN PROUD of that.hose Detroit fans are brutal. I remember reading a story about how some Pistons fans found out what hotel the Lakers were staying at and proceeded to drive around the block honking their horns at three in the morning the night before a game.
Opposing teams should be welcomed with disdain, not cheers. Though obviously there is a line you can't cross. Honking 200 horns at night to distub Kobe's beauty rest is certainly fair game. If you disagree, I suppose we'll have to agree to disagree.
Don't talk to me about mental toughness, after you guys folded like lawn chairs against the Lakers last year. So they hit a lucky shot. Darn. You came out in game 6 like you were ready for summer vacation. FedEx couldn't have mailed that game in any easier.First, I think Detroit, reigning champs though they are, are just not as mentally tough as the Spurs.
Meanwhile, we managed to lose game 5 at home in the same round last year, in double overtime I might add, but we won the next 2 games.
Since this team was assembled, they've handled everything thrown their way. Nobody has ever been able to out-tough this team. You're welcome to try if we meet in the finals, but question their toughness at your own risk.
