Pretty good.
Now I'm just curious. You've seen for the most part how us spurs fans feel about us winning the championship, be it from us going all the way to others thinking we may not even get past rd 2 and for a while there thinking we may even drop to the #4 spot. I'm just curious in your HONEST opinion how confident you guys feel in your team winning it this year. I don't mean if's and but's, I mean as of this moment are you worried at all? or do you think it's your year. you've got the HCA, the #1 seed, you may have faltered a bit in the 2nd half of the season, but so have dallas and SA for the most part, but on the brightside your bench is making some strides in the past month. how good do you feel about your chances this year?
Pretty good.
Even money...
I think the Detroit Pistons can beat any team in the NBA in a seven game series, especially with homecourt advantage.
That said, in the world of sports, anything can happen. And, I am sure a series against San Antonio and even Miami could go either way. Against Dallas, New Jersey, Phoenix, and Cleveland, they could all be challengins series, but I would expect to beat each of those teams.
I like the Pistons' chances. But, anything could happen.
I think we have as good of a chance as anybody. Lots of things could happen between now and the last game of the finals, though.
Spurs would own the Pistons. Book it.
Considering we're 2-0 vs. the Spurs this year, explain how they would 'own' the Pistons. Win a close matchup between two tight teams, sure. But 'own'? That's a bit strong. Are you sure you're not just bitter about your team's 3 game skid?
On topic, the Pistons are the #1 seed, and so far, the #1 record in the league. We're 2-0 against the Spurs, and the Mavs are skidding. The Heat wants to start coming strong, and we beat them, and the teams like Indiana Pacers and New Jersey Nets just don't have 'it' this year, the intimidation factor.
Mathematically, the Pistons are in the driver's seat. I'm confident in my team. That being said, we've all seen SOOO many times in sports where the upset happens, especially to a team in this position. There's no guarantees in sports, and even though on paper the Pistons are 2006's best bet for a championship, I'm not foolish enough to believe it quite yet.
Last year win it mattered, the Finals, both teams were able to one the other's court. Like a lot of people have said....there is a lot of basketball left between now and the Finals. Anything can happen. For anyone to guarantee anything at this point is foolish. It is equally foolish to discount either team.
Confident, but not y. Anything can happen in the playoffs.
Still alot of ball before anyone has a parade.
That 2-0 record that the Pistons have over the Spurs this year is just as old as the game 7 victory by the Spurs last year.
Spurs right now >>> Spurs in December and January.
Agree with DDS4. Just need to do a much better job on the boards should we meet up with them in June.
true which is what'll make the finals matchup should it happen much more intriguing. should pistons and spurs meet in june, it'll be nearly six months since they have had last played each other. be interesting to see how far along both the teams have come since the january/december matchups
I'm not very confident.
But then again, I never am.
I think they are quaking in their Nikes.
And the Mavs beat the Pistons by 30 points earlier this year, so what's your point?
the Spurs got owned on the boards (58-27) by the Nuggets not even 2 weeks ago
They will get owned by the Pistons in a finals series unless they learn how to rebound soon
To coin a Sheedism, "We ain't scared of those cats man".
Just lookin' forward to playoff basketball here. It would be great to meet the Spurs again. I feel like we are capable of beating anyone in a 7 game series but I'm not brash enough to say that we will.
Confident but not y.
If Dice and Tayshaun continue to play the way they have lately, and everyone stays relatively healthy, I like our chances. Anything can happen though.

In a seven-game series, the pistons are capable of beating anybody, but that's not a guarantee that they will. Any series could go either way, but I like their chances.
You're throwing the 2-0 on us when you should know better...
There are a couple of teams...... bad teams that have a 2-0 on you but does that mean they're better?
Not really, playoff time, you'll see the real Spurs team and what they stand for.
I give Detroit a 60-40 chance in their favor of winning; homecourt or not.
I like our chances. I think it will go down to game seven in the finals against San Antonio and then, I hope they win. They have the ability to but so does the spurs. Miami could surprise us but I dont think they will, but you never know. I feel more respect basketball wise towards San Antonio than Miami so if we where to lose ( god forbid ) Id rather it be to The Spurs. Dallas have gotten a good run this years but in the past they have prove to be chokers, so thy will have to prove me wrong.
With that said, I will be sitting in my house watching the playoffs praying endlessly. I feel confident in my team but to say its a hundred percent they will win its nuts. They broke my heart last year and that one still hurts, but I feel they wont do it this year.undefined

I think Miami has got to get everyone healthy to give you guys a game.
Now Lebron on the other hand, is rolling, rolling, rolling.
Right now, if I were the Pistons, I would be more worried about Cleveland, than I would Miami.
The Nets worry me more than the Cavs.
Although, IF Hughes comes back effectively for the playoffs, it could be interesting.
But really the cavs do not worry me one little bit.
