IF the spurs win tonight and Duncan is the MVP, isn't it a testament to his game which is regarded as "quiet and fundamental"? he's put up good numbers all series long but i can't think of one defining moment. he has a "quiet" 25/15 and you hardly notice it until you read the box score after the game. amazing.

If Detroit wins, Billups gets the MVP. If SA wins, Duncan is the only consistent one out there. Manu could've had it, but he has to have a big night to make up for all the bad games. Maybe Horry if he has another great 4th qtr or OT.

Oh forget it, Billups should win it even if SA wins. :D

iamme, a new thread isn't needed, but how about a new poll? Choices would be:
Detroit close
SA close
Detroit blowout
SA blowout

And just for grins, a poll for who would get the game winning shot (in case it's close). Imagine a game 7 won at the buzzer.

After this game, only baseball is left until football starts up. And, in the case of this D-Rays fan, the season is already over. :(

As a Detroiter I sure do hope the Pistons pull it out. I'm not making any predictions since each team has shown the ability to self-destruct.

I will say this for the Pistons--they seem to have the intangibles. Could a team win a better championship--coming back from a 2-0 deficit and a heartbreaking overtime loss to win the final two games on the road? It would be such a great story if they could pull it out.

The danger for the Pistons is overconfidence. The thing that has bothered me throughout the series is that it seems as though San Antonio's offense is potentially much stronger than the Pistons' offense and the Pistons have difficulty scoring too often.

Pistons fans just have to hope that the Pistons play an excellent game and that the Spurs crack under pressure at the first sign of adversity.

Pistons will win: 97-93. Duncan will play well but Parker will continue getting owned by Billups. Sheed breaks out, as does RIP for the win.

That show sucks the big time, but I'll suffer through it just to see that. :Drool;

Gotta remember to set up the Replay.
