It may come down to championship "poise" and nerves. detroit has what it takes. Only Horry does on the Spurs....not even Duncan.

yeah. only to torment posters from Philly, Indy, Miami, and SA

however, most of the former realgm.com-pistons posters go to this new site:

i did my crying already. i wanted suns to win it all. now i don't really give a crap, but im leaning towards spurs (because of home court)

 

[iamme]

for the NBA fans, can we agree that this is one of the best Finals series in recent memory?

strong performances from the home teams in games 1-4, a game 5/OT/Robert Horry moment, and now a game 7.

 

[venk]

the NBA hasn't had a compelling finals since the Houston Rockets were the champs. Good to see one again.

It would be nice if the pistons would just die already, jeez.

Seriously, if it wasn't for the miracles of one player, detroit has outplayed the spurs for 4 games in a row. I have to say that all hell has broken lose, they have the momentum now, and its their series to lose.

I find the series an outstanding battle, but not necessarily one of my favorites because its relatively boring for much of the game. Overall very little superstardom play, and just a clinic on execution and teamwork.......yawn. Without either team making very significant runs at a time tho, both teams mental fortitude is pretty remarkable.

This has been good so far. Amusingly enough, most of Detroit's critics have basically been silenced, which is nice.

But nothing will be better than last year, when it seemed like everyone not from Detroit thought the Finals would be a cakewalk for the Lakers. They were right about the cakewalk, haha. Watching the Pistons manhandle the Lakers for all but about 6 minutes the entire series was too much fun (not to mention very profitable, haha).

89 & 90 were a lot of fun, also.

They own all. Everyone around here was pretty bummed out after the loss, but aside from Horry's 3s in game 5, Detroit was the better team imho. I wasn't worried about game 6 because you have to figure, if they won the OT game, everyone would have been confident about their chances going to SA. Either way though, they still would have had to win a road game, so losing game 5 didn't really matter to me. This team plays so great with their backs to the wall. I predict Rip will lead all scorers in game 7 and the Pistons will win by 10 or 15.

:beer: thank God for the Pistons... they really did quench my playoff thirsts this year with no NHL. I love Detroit as a sports town!! wooooooooooooo!

:music: goin' to work :music:

They won't be silenced because Detroit is still a team that only wins when they're motivated. They were motivated last year because of the "mighty" Lakers. This year, they needed to have their backs against the wall to come through. It's almost as if they've taken on Rasheed's mentality. There are games when he's an amazing player and other games when he's a mental case.

I said that it would go 7. Detroit should be ready because it's a game 7. We'll have to see if SA can adjust.

 

[Miramonti]

Brown seems to be outcoaching Pop. He has the pistons running a much tighter ship and them loving it, while the spurs are getting frustrated by such a disciplined tight game.

naturally. He is LB's protege

 

[SP33Demon]

The Pistons have really impressed me, I have to admit. Their defense is just astounding, it was a GREAT game last night. Big Ben blocking Ginobli at the end was phenomenal, as was Rasheed's clutch scoring (that 3 pointer) with 5 fouls.

Most impressive was Billups, he is hands down the MVP if Detroit wins this thing IMO. Juking Horry out of his shoes off the dribble and then drawing the foul was hilarious. Rip has been scorching as well, but Billups has been the catalyst to that offense, just as Big Ben is the leader defensively.

I originally said Spurs in 5 or 6, but didn't anticipate TD choking like he did, alot has to do with Detroit's defense as well. Throw in the fact that the Pistons hardly turn the ball over, and I think they take game 7... they have the momentum.
