How about the point guard that made 2nd all NBA defensive team![]()
I could see San Antonio shut down Detroit's offense because they have no superstars that are unguardable. Miami might be inexperienced but they have the potential to play incredible basketball. I think San Antonio would rather face Detroit even though they are the world champions. If Prince guards Ginobili than who will guard Parker.

Miami owned Detroit tonight and will give San Antonio alot of problems. No one in the league can stop Wade.
Ouch pistons forgot to play Defense tonight, i still think they are favored
Detroit has lots of similarities to Spurs, eg defense, inside presence, defensive-minded small forward...Miami depend on Wade heavily. (O'neal and others are injured).
Spurs can handle both of them.
This Miami team this year is actually better than last years lakers team so San Antonio will be challenged.
no one has a bruce bowen either.No one in the league can stop Wade.
Yeah timvp...they sure are the team to beat. They can't even keep their poise. Getting stupid technicals at the wrong time.
Bruce Bowen sure did a good job of guarding Bryant last year. Wade is for real and I hope he loses but I think he is better than Bryant. His percentages show it.
Bump.
You were saying, timvp?

Since neither series is over yet, who knows who the team to beat will be?
This year's San Antonio team is way better than last years also![]()
I thought they were very good last year also. I thought they felt the pressure against LAL and hopefully don't feel the pressure in the finals.
The Pistons are winning the series.
Watch.
The pistons are overrated. They used to have a great bench but now it is a 6 man team. Miami is better than people think they are. I've been watching them all year in pain. They are the 2nd best team. They had slow start and kept getting better throughout the season. If they played like this all year they would've won 65 games. 11-7 start.
I hope so, starting tonight.
I bet $200 on them tonight and have to give 5 points to Miami. I am thinking a good Detroit blowout, considering that they are losing their coach and all.

Detroit has their backs up against a wall and they come with a 60 point first half. Even more impressive ... they have no turnovers.
But I thought timvp was clueless.
22 baskets, 17 assists.
Spurs have home court over either Miami or Detroit, so that would obviously be nice. Its not so much what those teams can impose on San Antonio, San Antonio has the top rated defense in the league and has shown a nack for running as well. I think that San Antonio is the "best" team in the league and would dispose of either Miami or Detroit in 6 games. More later...
Let's also try to focus on the problems THE SPURS would impose on the Pistons. I appreciate TimVP's humble, realistic approach to this potential matchup, but being objective, I'm sure Pistons fans are also gripping about 4/7 games against the TMT (Tim, Manu, Tony). Should be a uva series! I'd still wager Spurs in six.
The Pistons don't matchup well to San Antonio.
It still might be the Suns in the Finals....don't forget about that possibility.
Best case scenario - they beat each other up so bad and expend so much energy that the Spurs can open it up speed-wise on the winner of the series and be up 2-0 in a hurry, and grind out the remainder of the games against a tired team.
Woudn't it be something for the Spurs to end the last 2 seasons with a 4 game sweep by their opponent?
That is a possibility you know.
