Darn, the way he's been playing this season, he's the BEST PG of the league who plays both side of the game -O & D- sans none.
Billups is a fuking stud!
30 points, 9 assists, 0 turnover in 45 minutes!
Looks like they will heading into the Christmas showdown with a better record than us!

BOLD PREDICTION!!!
Tony Parker is gonna get embarrassed by Chauncey Billups on national television on Christmas Day.
Book it.
Chauncey does owe the Spurs a little something after his Game 7 performance in the finals.
That said, Tony's ballin' at the moment and I expect him to cause havoc amonst the Piston D. Also, I doubt Tony matches up on him, I'd expect that to be Bowen's job. Embarassment, I don't think so.
I dont think Billups will really have a chance to own Parker. If Pop is smart (and I think the is a top coach in the league and is a very very smart coach) he will throw Bowen on Chauncey. RIP does not go into the post that much so putting a smaller Parker will not hurt as bad as it would having Parker on Billups.
I love Chauncey and he is one of my favorite players...but Iverson is playing the best out of anyone in my opinion.
0 turnovers in 45 minutes is outstanding. Billups should be an All-star after the season he's having.
I feel bad doubting that the Spurs can win Sunday. I just hope they keep the game close and Manu plays!
You know, I seriously dont care who wins on Christmas.
First, its obvious the Pistons have nothing to prove. They are the best team in the NBA (right now, which is VERY early to plan parades). They will be a beast in the East.
Second, Spurs have nothing to prove. Bottom line, they beat the Pistons when it mattered. Win or lose, they have the rings, Pistons do not. Period.
Third, both teams showed last year that they are capable of blowing each other out (games 1-4). So lets say one teams completely OWNS the other. What does that prove?
Nothing.
What matters who is the last man standing. Personally, I would like to see Detroit get another crack at the le against SA. Not Phoenix, Dallas, etc....I want to see them play SA for the Larry OBrien. Again.
Because last years Finals were amazing. Exciting. What a ing series, eh? Damn. Nearly broke my damn heart, but WOW....what a series.
I would love to see these 2 great teams do it again. Outcome is important to me (of course, homerism alert), but seeing the quality of basketball played on BOTH ends from BOTH teams is more entertaining for me.
pistons got lucky to win the game in overtime
I find it hard to call it luck when they do it on a consistant basis. That's like calling Robert Horry (and the Spurs) lucky for hitting the 3 in game 5. He's just done it too many times to call it luck. So if you're gonna call winning a game down the strech "luck" you have to say that the Spurs winning the le was "luck". I'm not willing to do that.

lol no kidding...
I assume the Pistons were lucky to win the other 18 games too huh?
it will be 20 after tonight
mem was lucky to get it to overtime
I think mem outplayed pistons in overtime
Pop will put Parker on Billups and keep Bowen on Rip, to try to keep Rip from developing a rythym. He prob will switch if the game is close though.
We could use Artest right about now
Pistons outplayed Spurs in Game 5 but Horry got lucky at the end of the game.
Moral of story: Who cares about luck? It's the W-L column that counts and if memory serves me correct, you did say "If they beat Blazers tomorrow, I give them MAJOR PROPS"...![]()
Old saying..
No one asks "how", they ask "how many".
Period.
Yeah, real lucky when he's been doing that pretty much his whole career. Guess what? THE SPURS BEAT YOU WITH SKILL NOT LUCK.![]()
I think it is fair to say that whatever team would have had the home court for game seven they were the ones that were going to win.
I agree...
But I still think the Spurs are gonna lose :P
Well yeah, I agree with that, but we didn't win by luck that's all I'm saying.
SA is the ONLY team in the league that can beat Detroit without luck. I think everyone knows that...there was Bull throughout the series both ways...I dont think we have much to worry about. We will meet again this year.
It is funny to look at the league...these two teams are SO FAR ahead of anyone else right now. I was at the Pistons game yesterday and they can half ass it and win. There was no effort until 2 minutes left in the game. It was funny to see them toy with Portland and come out ahead.
SOMEONE WILL HAVE TO BE LUCKY TO KNOCK EITHER TEAM OFF THIS YEAR.
I lost 50 on your damn team.![]()
That's a shame.
