I was freakin scared. And when I saw Pop putting in Dbrown and big dogg, I was like, WTF?? But I knew somehow Spurs were gona pull it off. All I know is a mere 10 point lead is a huuuge lead in this series.
I was worried and frustrated that the Spurs are playing bad basketball. They underestimated the Piston's defense, which led to bad shots and turnovers. But then, the Spurs came back ever so quietly. I was surprised when the first quarter ended that they were only down by 3, and realized that if the Spurs played this bad and is only down by 3, they can probably take this game.
I knew the Spurs would shake off the rust by the 2nd Q...I was not worried at all.
I was disturbed with the ease that Rasheed was shooting over Timmy and generally just the way the Spurs were executing offensively. I knew they weren't going to get blown out the whole game, but the way they were getting beat was dissapointing.
I was thinking...."yep...looks like a team that has been off for eight days!"
where the my xanax was
I was thinking, "oh crap, it's last years Finals all over again!" (Pistons win Game 1 in LA, and then sweep their homecourt).
But that's why I'm a Bandwagon Fan!
(after the game I told my family I knew the Spurs would win all along. They all went "Shut Up!"
relaxing on my sofa. i alway knew the spurs won't go down like that
I was scared but never gave up. I knew they would fight through, that was too early to give up. The Spurs are not just going to lay down and die. These are not the same Spurs that once they are down they are screwed, these guys can get back in the game at anytime. At the same token I was still worried in the fourth cause I know how quickly Detroit could have came back.

I was a little worried but not too worried. I knew it was just a little rust and that they would shake it off. Spurs did a good job last night in not giving up and they came out with the victory.
"The spurs are getting their asses whooped."
Then they finally got something going, made a couple of baskets and I knew that everything would be better. But I did know that it would be harder to spot them a big lead; this ain't Phoenix's defense.
By halftime I was not in doubt of the game's outcome.
I always knew they would win. The first quarter pissed me off because I knew it would take longer to get a big lead on them. I said at the break, that the Spurs would score more during the second half.
I didn't know , I was cursing my ass off! LOL, Then I calmed down a bit and in the second quarter the Spurs rebounded. They were playing like crap before the second quarter
Before the game I expected the spurs to be rusty. I didn't expect the pistons would play that well. If it would've been last years team I would have been worried. I knew det has a lousy offense and that they would get tired because the spurs would where them down.
Plus this year unlike any other year we have two bona fide studs in the back court who can get their own shots. Expect game 2 to start offensively for the spurs like when they came back from that det barrage in the 1st quarter.
"The Spurs will shake it off in the 2nd"
To tell you the truth i had an exam before the game, i had to rush home and catch the game on live stats and when the score was 17-4 and ur eyes are ed and feelin sleepy there was only one thing todo goto sleep and dream the spurs sum how wins this game. woke up a few hours layter didnt felt condifence to turn the comp on to check the scores to my suprise we won the game....
What it is about the Spurs and their fans that make them think this is going to be a cake walk is beyond me.. Arrogance, I guess.. All I've been hearing is "Sweep", "Who's going to be the Spurs MVP?", "3 rings".. It's that mentality that will lead to the demise of your team. Gm 1, Spurs win. You should win gm 1. Pistons played Piston basketball the first half and played terrible the second. I didin't see a stellar Spurs team out on that court. I'm dissapointed that we didn't pull together a better second half, because the Stones have met some great teams and we should have stole one last night. Spurs will need to bring more than that if they expect to win again.
BTW- I loved the Chauncy fake.. Now that was hilarious..
I knew they would struggle, 8 days is a long time between games, but I felt if they could keep from going down by 20 or more, they could catch up. At that point, 17-4, I thought damn, they're not going to make it, it's going to be a struggle, but they came back to outscore them 13-3, the rest of the way, I thought Horry, Parker and Duncan were key in stepping up their defensive intensity and getting some stops.
only a few fools around here have been talking sweep. Most of us know this is the toughest series and 1st half of game 1 proved it. game 1 was for the pistons to steal, but u failed. What did u see in game 1 that gives u hope in this series? seriouslyWhat it is about the Spurs and their fans that make them think this is going to be a cake walk is beyond me.. Arrogance, I guess..

Started off ugly, but wasn't overly surprised. After 7 days off it was to be expected. I was just glad it was the first quarter not the fourth quarter, but still to be down 17-4 is a nerve wracking way to begin the Finals!!
we start the game 13 down and then win by 15? yes sir, spurs in 5!
That's only a few idiots here. Although I think denver was the toughest team we faced in the playoffs. I think the spurs will win in 5, 6 if they blow a game which I'm counting on.What it is about the Spurs and their fans that make them think this is going to be a cake walk is beyond me..

No way is this the hardest series in the playoffs. Believe me the spurs can play alot better. The reason det didn't play well in the 2nd was because of the lack of depth and short rest issue. ust my opinion and everyone's got one, I'll dredge up this thread or another if I'm wrong and eat crow. I want to say more but that is for another thread.
I'll enjoy the first quarter more today when they replay the game on NBATV.
It was NO FUN last night. I was wondering if the Spurs would get double figures by the end of the 1st. They had about 4 pts after 6 minutes.
I thought the Spurs were playing like crap and likely use up too much energy coming back to win the game at the end.
