OK, first things first....if that was detroit basketball, then you guys suck.
The spurs sucked completely in every category and you still had to show off.
Second, I swear ill kill that annoying piece of announcer.
I know you all don't want to hear this, but I am so happy with the outcome. I feel like we finally showed you all DETROIT BASKETBALL. You all may not agree, but the first 2 games was NOT how this team typically plays. The energy level was there tonight. We made our typical hustle play. I've been a little embarrased by our first 2 games lack of effort. Hopefully we will continue to play at this level.
Our interior defense was huge tonight. We played Duncan solidly. Whether it was Ben,Sheed or even Dice. Our bigs finally made their persence known. Tp was doing his thing. Gotta give him props for that.
I wonder how bad Manu got hurt. He didn't seem to have the desire to take it to the hole like he usually does. Hopefully it wasn't because of the injury.
Overall our Defense was great. Blocking, stelaing, trapping. You name it, we did it.
I was glad to see Rips shot finally going down. As he said before, he's had plenty of openings, just hasn't finished. Well tonight he did.
I'm glad we made it a series again. Good to see it get more interesting. Thursday will be one of a game to watch.
Oh, and I finally got to change my sig!

Can't want for Thursday. Spurs took Detroit for granted tonight, unfortunately it's a trend in spurs history. Detroit wins next game I'll be impressed.
Good game...u took advantage of the situation.
The game was lost by the Spurs on one statistic...turnovers.
From the very first play..where manu made a weak pass and Ben hustled and got it...set the tone for the Spurs tonite.
Turnovers..turnovers...turnovers.
Detroit took advantage of Spurs sloppy passing....Kudos to them.
Spurs weakness is bad passing...been that way all year. If teams would play the passing lanes more, they'd get a lot more steals.
For all those that call Manu a flopper, this game should have opened some eyes!!!!!
Ben is a bigger flopper then Manu. Either that or Tony is the strongest man on the court.![]()
I believe this was less of a Spurs team instead of a normal detroit piston team.
The Spurs had nothing coming from Duncan and Ginobili..
That's where you got lucky, usually we don't get this many offensive fouls.. any team could've beaten them if the officiating prevented them from being aggressive..
I do believe your team did what they had to do..
but it should've been a 30 point win at the most... the best 2 players in these series didn't step up.
Not is the type of play that when us a championship, and is the kind of play that will make us back to back champs. Excellent defense, great shooting, great all around game. Everybody seemed to get invovled, as a Piston fan you got to love it. I wish the first 2 games could have been this good.
No reason to get down Spurs fans, your still up 2-1 and still hold the advantage. Even if you go down 3-2, its your series to lose. We simply outplayed you guys tonight like you guys did to us the first 2 games. Looks like its going to be a back and forth series. Hoorayy.
gift wrapped win. i have never seen so many unforced bad passes in one game.
You didn't win because of Detroit Pistons basketball. You won because 10 of 12 Spurs missed the bus.
Right, we got lucky. Whatever you say man. Let this luck run us right to another championship.
Man I thought you guys were different then other fans, I guess your true colors show when you lose huh?
detroit played better than usual and san antonio sucked major ass, I'm not too worried.
Detroit was allowed to maim our passers.
Terrible officiating.
They blast other fans and then proceed to do the same things those other fans do. Classy...
Good game Detroit. You defense aggression payed off. Spurs got a little flustered and made stupid force passes. It won't happen again. I expected this game to go this way. Spurs still win in 5-6.
It's been like that all playoffs. You should be used to it by now.
Hey, it worked for your boy Rip. Go suck an egg.
A loss, any loss, is never one sided. It was a combination of the Spurs commiting real bad turnovers and Detroit hustling with steals and blocks. Tim and Manu were obviously playing like but Detroit definitely had something to do with it.
Kind of like when some Spurs fans were saying the reason Rip shot so poorly the first 2 games was solely due to Bruce's defense.
Looks like someone would rather shove your olive branch up your ass. Good game, but it is just one, your still down in the series.and your classless banter are showing your true colors.
some fans just lose their minds, they don't handle losses well.
well fans will be fans....
It's not all of Spur Nation with this at ude......
We outscored you 75-52 to end the game and WE suck?

Spurs fans just get bitter after losses. Detroit rolled in that game, plain and simple. Yeah...the Spurs played like , and a lot of it was unforced, but the Pistons capitalized on that. Just like the Spurs capitalized on Pistons playing like garbage in games one and two. Neither team has beat the other at its best.
Most people here picked the Spurs to win in five, six, or seven. They have to lose games sometime.
Bad game by San Antonio, good one by Detroit. It's a series, now.
