Whatever happens, it just better not come down to the refs and 'home cooking' etc. I think shaq in the finals is what the league and networks would like to see, but I just hope they incontrovertably earn it if they win.

The Heat lost game one because they were off for a week and a half and came out flat. They're cruising now just like they did against New Jersey and the Wizards... The Pistons aren't all that...so what happenened to that so called tough defense?

Heat in 6.


stfu n00b. its a seven game series for a reason and we knocked them out at home!

Interesting Stat :

In the last 29 Heat home games they have won 26 of the 29. ALL 3 loses were to Detroit!!!!

i like to say pistons in 5!
i really wanna see them win it in person, but i think the series could end anywhere between 5 and 7 games, for either team. (at least that's what my basketball fan in me is saying.) pistons fan in me would love to see a 4-5 game thrashing!!

tough choice tomorrow: Palace Vision, or a local pub?

I said SA in 6. Though I don't really care who wins and wouldn't be shocked (or surprised) if Detroit won at all. I'm not sure how they match up and it's possible Detroit can be better. But whatever.

btw, Miami's head coach, Stan Van Gundy is a classless prick.

he was asked in an interview 2 days after the series was over, if he was going to watch the Finals and he said "i'm not going to watch it because Detroit will whine over every single call" (paraphrased). way to lose graciously.

what a sore-freaking-loser.

this is the same guy who ripped the entire city of Detroit during the series.

i hope his fatass gets fired during the off season.

true.dat ...

I was listening to an interview with Larry Brown on 1130 the Fan and he said Van Gundy's handshake at the end of the series was even colder than Phil Jackson's cold shake...

I'm not denying anything that you said about the SVG, but remember back when the MJ Bulls finally beat the Bad Boys in the playoffs? Didn't the Pistons walk off the court without any handshakes?

You may be right. That was a totally different team though.

Anyway, GO PISTONS!!!

i dont' remember when the pistons lost to the bulls back in the day, but they were heated rivals for years previous, iirc.

SVG and the heat on the other hand aren't really rivals. well they are now, but up until the ECF, it was more media hype, and two of the best teams in the east going at it. but if both teams stay on the top of the east, it might become a good rivalry. SVG's just a washed up pron star acting like a punk.
