only works if Jim does it.
Maybe I'll jinx the Heat

Honestly, DET has been way overrated, they are full of and are getting served a dish of humble pie, quite like the one they served the 04 .4 lakers.
Let's see what the Pistons do. It won't be easy but they could come back.
People pretty much thought it would be Dallas or San Antonio in the Finals from the west. Detroit was pretty much handed the East by default.
The end of an era...R.I.P Detroit, hope you guys don't burn down a building or two.
The end of the era of them talking smack.
It pisses me off when ppl talk about their "dynasty", 2 finals appearances and 1 championship is a dynasty?
"the best starting 5" my ass
I already knew the Heat would win in 6 after 3 games in
After watching the game, I'm just sort of sad. Not that the Pistons lost, but that it was "hyped" to be the Spurs and Pistons again. It just reminds me we're not there either.
Everyone should've known they were done after they struggled with the CAVS
I mean, Lebron is good, but COME ON
I'm sorry Pistons' fans!
HEAT lost with Mavs and PHX in regular season, but I'll bet my CDs supporting Shaq (wow, did I say that)
HAHAHAH!
YOu ed them over!!
HAHAHAH!
YOu ed them over!!
Heat in 6 over Suns in the finals
We need a vBookie on the hour Cuban first lodges a complaint to the league office on Shaq.
I knew too many here were way off this year with saying its the spurs and Pistons in the finals. This series was so predictable I could have told you who would win each game. Some series are tough but this one was an easy call.
Detroit is the most overrated NBA Champion in the past quarter century, by far. Even when they beat the Lakers in 2004, they were very fortunate to beat the Lakers, Pacers, and Nets who all three had major injuries in the playoffs.
And to top it off, they couldn't even repeat last season. Great teams win back to back les. It's like what Mike Wilborn (spelling?) said...the Pistons are a good team, but they aren't as good as they THINK they are.
The Heat fans were so damn impressive with their "white out" - all clad in white. What an awesome display.
I agree with most of that, although they beat the out of the Lakers, injuries or not, and the Laker were pretty overhyped as well.
But they thought they were the greatest starting 5 ever, they just got schooled.
So Duncan's spurs and Bird's celtics aren't great?
Yeah, the Lakers might have been overhyped in that particular season, but they substantiated their greateness by winning 3 les in a row. The Pistons were a one hit wonder, who only won the le when they snuck up on everyone. It's a lot harder to win a le when everyone is gunning for you, when you have a target on your back.
During last night's game, did you hear Steve Kerr and company making fun of Cuban for the seemingly endless supply of " foul" footage he sends to the NBA office?
Good times!
Agreed, they are a one-hit wonder.
not even CLOSE to being a dynasty.
Correct. They were on very good teams, but not GREAT teams. Great teams win les when the rest of the NBA is gunning for them. It is INFINITELY harder to win a le when you are already the champion, for a host of reasons (diminished drive, increased drive from other teams and them adjusting their rosters to beat you, etc.)So Duncan's spurs and Bird's celtics aren't great?
