DEEEEETROIT BASKETBALL

 

[Miramonti]

The pistons definitely kicked it up a notch, evident from the start of the game and carried thru to the end.

However the spurs can do the same, and don't expect all same turnovers either. Bye pistons.

 

[iamme]

i'm definitely not counting my chickens before their hatched. the spurs are too good to just fold, so game 4 should be a good one.

i can't wait!

:beer:

 

[Miramonti]

Spurs in OT.

Spurs in 6. All these Detroit fans getting worked up over 1 game. When the series is 2-2 or even 3-2 in favor of Detroit I will be worried. These are the same Pistons that almost got beat by the Pacers...

uh....the same Pistons who won the championship last season, dude.

btw, "almost got beat" isn't quite accurate considering it was in 6 games.

it's not just the win, it was finally seeing Detroit playing their brand of defense and finally getting their scoring groove back.

Not the same Pistons. The bench is a joke now, no Williamson, Okur, James. Who's coming off the bench now? McDyess? The 6'9" fade away shooting beast? Mr. "Turnover" Arroyo? This isn't Puerto Rico anymore...

Spurs will stab in the dagger tonight and close it out in game 5 or 6.

look up the bench production from the bench during the playoffs last season. they did not contribute nearly as much as you'd think. LB tightens the rotation and plays the starters very heavily during the playoffs.

don't look now but Dice has torched the Spurs the past two games from the bench, shooting 50% from the field. if Dice stays out of foul trouble, he pretty much produces as much as Okur and Williamson combined last season.

i'm heading out to watch the game tonight.......should be a good one tonight.

i'm getting a good vibe for tonight's game

just 1 more game and it's all tied up!!!

7 players in double figures. 17 forced turnovers. Victory by 31 points.

Oh, and let's not forget the 4 Pistons turnovers, a new NBA finals low.

Are you worried now?

No, the series isn't over yet and San Antonio still has home court advantage. But even if Detroit doesn't win,

DARKO STILL SCORED ON THE SPURS!!!

 

[Miramonti]

I've never seen a team play sooooo poorly in the first two games and so well in the next two. :Q

Who was that spurs guy who fell in the third or fourth quarter and slid face flat for like 5 feet? That was crazy lol, there were some physical moments in this game.

It's like they decided to play Give Away and no one told the Pistons...

Spurs making it look easy.

The Pistons barely got by the injury plagued Heat...whoever thinks they will beat a healthy Spurs team is most likely mistaken...

I predict Spurs in 5 if that...

i believe you're mistaken, my friend

Spurs in 5...detroit will find a way to make enough miracle shots tuesday or thursday, while the spurs will throw up too many 3pt bricks...then the pistons will roll over.

looks like the spurs are doing the rolling over. :Q

This series is over. The spurs own the pistons on offense and defense. Their going to have to shoot a helluva lot of bricks in detroit for the pistons to have any chance.

the series is far from over, bud.

[suicidalpigeon]

this sure is suspenseful.

 

[BRObedoza]

hope this goes seven

 

[chuckywang]

darko got a true double-double. 2 points and 2 rebounds.

 

[suicidalpigeon]

love it when darko did such a crappy job. what was going through brown's head?

 

[BRObedoza]

poor Darko. he'd probably be closer to Pau Gasol by now if he was on another team.

 

[zainali]

when detroit puts darko in a game you know its over.

anyways, what are the ratings for this yeras finals?

Low, very low. And a 9:00 start time in the East Coast doesn't help them.
BTW, I could barely stomach the way the Spurs played after two incredible games, I'm not going to blame the officiating but it's easy to see LB got his message across to them. It's like the Spurs are standing still and the Pistons can roam where they please.
