I would love to see a rematch because I think it would be an awesome series. However, I wouldn't cry if we got an opponant that was easier. I don't think we will, however.
Out of curiousity, are you all rooting for or against the Pistons reaching the Finals this year? Are you looking forward to a possible rematch? Or do you hope Pistons lose as soon as possible?
Personally I've been waiting for a rematch since the end of game 7 last year. Revenge is naturally on my mind. I do not want to face anyone other than the Spurs (assuming we make it to the Finals).

No offense.
I don't want any part of the Pistons in the Finals.
No offense...
I'm rooting for the Pistons. I appreciate good basketball.
none taken. I suspect many people feel this way. If the roles were reversed, part of me wouldn't want to face the best possible opponent either.
I am always torn between wanting to see the best basketball series, and wanting to see the easiest opponant for the Spurs. In the end, I want the Spurs to be able to beat anyone. To be the best, you have to beat the best, period. I have never really warmed to 'the path of least resistance' thing. That's why in the end, I always want to see the better basketball series. But like I said, I wouldn't cry if by some miracle NJ or someone knocked the Pistons out.
I don't care, other than having to listen to the odd Pistons fan coming in here saying "well you got lucky they didn't have to face the best team." Probably wouldn't happen much, if at all, so I don't care. It's going to be embarassing for the Pistons when they lose, no matter when it happens, simply because they are perceived to have been so dominant this year. It's nice not having a rooting interest in a game where you can just sort of enjoy good basketball.
I'm rooting for good basketball.
Definitely would like to see a rematch. The Pistons are a tough team and winning it all last year was so great because getting there was tough, all the way to the end. Game 7 of the Finals was a classic battle. The critics shut their pie holes real quick after the Spurs beat the Pistons. I'd enjoy seeing that happen again too this year. GO SPURS GO!
Yes. Game 7 was awesome last season.
Oh no. Pistons fans are cool and all but your team is too good.
Go Nets Go.
i'm rooting for nets!
Go Boki Go!
If the Spurs make the Finals, I want the Pistons there because a) beating them will legitimize any discussion of All-Time great teams and b) it's by far the best thing for the League.
If the Spurs don't make the Finals, then the Pistons deserve it plus I can't think of any team from the West I'd root for. Maybe the Clippers.
Melmart hit the nail on the head, the Pistons scare me but the finals last year were awesome to watch. Manu in games 1+2, Ben in game 3, Horry in game 5. Chauncy and TD across the series. Phenomenal.
Part of me wants that again, the other wants an easy win.
I hope we can meet up with the Pistons again. Since everyone keeps pulling out the we haven't won a le without HCA here would be a perfect chance against a dynamite team to shut critics up for a very very long time.
No offense Piston fans, but I hope Miami will make it, becouse than Rasho will play a lot and I think Pistons could beat Spurs this year becouse of HCA.
I felt better about the Spurs last year against the Pistons than this year. Last year I wanted the Pistons...this year, I just want back-to-back les. Pistons have a better chance of stopping the Spurs from doing that than any other team.
I don't care what they do in Detroit.
I only want Miami in the Finals.
Oh no. Pistons fans are cool and all but your team is too good.
Go Nets Go.
I am also rooting for New Jersy, but I will also welcome the chance to shut the Pistons up. I have had to listen to their crap for 6 minths, you would think that they won the last championship, instead of the Spurs.
I hate Wallace and Wallace, so would love to see them get their asses whipped my the Spurs.
lol lets put it this way, it would be awesome to play detroit in the finals again...but i wouldn't cry if they didn't make it. but i WILL cry if WE don't make it! lol jk. GO SPURS GO!
That I would like to see! And I would also love to never hear Mason again!
Whoever we meet, we'll take them! I believe!
The compe ive part of me is " yeah I want the Pistons because they're the best and you have to go through the best!"
The not so sure part of me is "they'll kick our ass more than likely so.... go Heat!"
I could care less about who's between the Spurs and their 4th Larry O'Brien.
A rematch would be nice. However, I was a little turned off by Billups saying HE should be the MVP, a behavior that seems par for the course for the Pistons. I'd like to see them win for Hamilton's sake. I want to see MJ look at the fruits of his endeavors (He sent him to Detroit).
I'd rather see the acrobatic Carter and Jefferson, along with Jason Kidd, in the finals. After the Nets, I'd like to face Shaq one more time. A Spurs strategy would be to run him ragged.
Yes I want to see the Pistons in the Finals. Thats the way it should be.... IMO if we went up against the Heat or (hahahaha ha) the Nets & kicked there ass's .. it wouldn't feel liek we really won. At least not to me.
It;s funny.. my HEAD says Yes! Pistons! ... but my HEART says No!I want an easy win.
Here's to a SA vDET rematch!
I prefer Miami to make it.
Detroit is the hardest matchup in the East for the Spurs which is a big reason for wanting Miami. Another reason would be just to see Detroit lose. I'm not a fan of any player on that team except Rasheed, McDyess and Delk. Most of the other players I don't particuly enjoy or like watching play.
But the main reason is I'd love to see Tim vs Shaq, the 2 great big men of 97 onwards go head to head on the biggest stage. People think they are on the decline, but this would show everyone who thinks that, that they are very wrong.
