The only good thing about this is I bet Spurs in 6 with my vbookie. I would be feeling better had they not looked so bad.
Kuddoes to Detroit though, they looked like Champs last night.
Believe it or not, the end of the world did not occur over night, the sun is shining, the birds are singing and the Spurs are still alive in their quest to wrest the crown from the champs' heads.
Yes, they played perhaps the worst playoff game in their history last night, but they have an extra day off betw games to try to get some of their mojo back before Sunday night. They will find out what they need to do to win, and they will have an great effort on Sunday, I promise you.
Detroit set a Finals record in only having only 4 turnovers(Spurs had 4 in first 3 mins) in the game, everything they threw up, be it to beat the shot clock, or a contested shot went in. On the flip side, everything the Spurs tried, failed miserably, even layups and gimmies.
I will be surprised if SA does not respond like champs on Sunday...so in the meantime, enjoy your Father's Day weekend, watch some US Open golf and chill out.
Thankyou, I hope I made some of you feel a little better today.

Spurs in 6...Been saying it all along....Last nights game was really hard to ing take though...I knew this series would not be easy, but I KNOW the SPURS WILL WIN the le...
GO SPURS GO
Not even near the ledge!!
Thanks, Jim. I know when the spurs lose, its usually a blowout. So I'm not worried about the last two games. I know we are a smart team and we'll figure it out. I still like our chances with two remaining at home. Believe it or not, the pressure is actually on Detroit to get game five. They don't want to have to win twice in Texas.
Plagiarizer! :pBelieve it or not, the end of the world did not occur over night, the sun is shining, the birds are singing and the Spurs are still alive in their quest to wrest the crown from the champs' heads.

Did you already have a thread like this??
If so, sorry, I did not see it.
Jimbo, the sun may be shining, but it's still too effing hot outside to enjoy it!
We have the Pistons right where we want them. They are y and overconfident. We are taking game 5. I'm calling it right now!
Spurs in 6.
The sky is blue and all the leaves are green.
The sun's as warm as a baked po-ta-to.
I think I know precisely what I mean,
When I say it's a shpadoinkle day.
Anyone that has 185K in vBookie knows his ....I feel a lot better.
No, I wrote an article about this after last season...Did you already have a thread like this??
If so, sorry, I did not see it.
S y, you can come over and skinny dip in my pool, I am sure the golfers walking by will appreciate it too.
Wasn't game 3 the game in which the Spurs played one of their worse games? Wasn't game 4 the game in which the Spurs would come back after a poor performance? Wasn't Tim Duncan supposed to not have back-to-back poor performances? Wasn't Manu supposed to come back and score like a madman after his game 3?
I could never discredit the Spurs, because I think they are a great team and have showed over the last 7 years that they are a championship caliber squad with great players. But, for some of you Spurs fans to come to the messageboard and start by saying Spurs in 4 after the first two games, then adjust to Spurs in 5 after game 3, and then now Spurs in 6 after last night is just funny to me. I've seen Spurs fans quaranteeing games 3 and 4, and now another more guarantees for a Spurs win in game 5??
I'm not so naive to claim to know how the next (possibly) three games will turn out. Each team has shown they are capable of playing great basketball. Just as well, each team has shown to stink up the basketball court. I could claim the Spurs will win the next two just as easily as claim that the Pistons will easily take the next two. I have not, I would not and I shall not. Both teams have come way too far and played their tails off to be in the finals to give up.
I just hope and expect that the next few games will showcase two great teams playing their best basketball. And, if that happens, I think fans of both teams should just appreciate it and hope it's their team that comes out on top.
The majority of us said Spurs in 6. Kori has the vbookie to prove it.I could never discredit the Spurs, because I think they are a great team and have showed over the last 7 years that they are a championship caliber squad with great players.

True...many predicted the Spurs would win in six. However...I don't think many predicted they would get "dismantled" the way they did in games three and four last night either. It's really a good thing they are off now until Sunday. It will be interesting should the Spurs fall on Sunday and trail 3-2. It will be the first time the Spurs have ever trailed in a "finals" series. Of course it helps when you've never lost a finals game at home either, and the team whom your facing hasn't won there in nearly 10 years either. Everything right now is in the Spurs favor. Now you have two days to over analyze the game and crunch all the numbers you want.
But as Jim said...the Sun is shining...if that helps anyone.
"some" = "majority"??
"some" = "all"??
I said "SOME." I meant "some." I don't need to see the vbookie to show me I'm right, but thanks.
Ask SequSpur what his prediction for this series was, and if it changed after game 3, and if it changed again after game 4? And, I saw a fair share of "Spurs in 5" post before the series and during the first two games in SA.
Pooh, they have lost a Finals game at home, I believe thet lost to NJ.
I wasn't disputing your point...I was enhancing it by showing how some Spurs fans predicted one thing but said another.I said "SOME." I meant "some." I don't need to see the vbookie to show me I'm right, but thanks.

What are we supposed to do, say that the Pistons will still win the series? This team can do great things, and every Spurs fan on this board has seen it. Its very embarrassing and dissappointing when you lose by 31 points in a Finals game after winning the first two, yet the Spurs are not done. They can still win Game 5, they can still win Game 6, or if needed Game 7. No one thought they would be this far a few months ago, including the teams that we played in earlier rounds. Well, we already -slapped them so I don't see why we can't win again this round. Detroit played AWESOME last night, they are a GREAT team. They may end up winning it, I really don't know. But we can't count out our team just because they lost two in a row.
Sorry, Piston fans. The Spurs let us kick their faces in Games 3 adn 4, just to lure us into a sense of false confidence.
C'mon, man. At least give us the credit we deserve.
Sun ain't shining overhere but my only relief is that after watching the game again, I'm sure of these 3 things:
1. Pistons Confidence: By now they probably think they can beat us with darko starting.
2. The spurs couldn't possibly play worse than they did yesterday.
3. Antonio mcdyess and hunter will come back to earth , also I don't expect Ben to regularly hit those fade away jumpers.
Hunter was shooting 28% before last night, and last night, everything he threw up, went in.
Those are the things that can turn a good game into a blowout.
Drat! They are on to us!Sorry, Piston fans. The Spurs let us kick their faces in Games 3 adn 4, just to lure us into a sense of false confidence.
Pistons were AWESOME last night, very flawless game. But he is right, they did look very overconfident and y after last nights game.
stern n the refs better be on our side
