Now last night's game was an example of the Pistons regaining their defensive strength (I knew they still had it in them! :p) - complete role reversal from game 2 in my opinion. In game 2, Pistons lost their momentum by the 2nd quarter; in game 3, Spurs lost their momentum by the 3rd quarter.

With who knows how many steals, the Pistons altered their strategy so as to keep the Spurs on their toes. And the Pistons actually worked as a team this time, passing was excellent, I couldn't find many places to complain... and I complain a lot.

As long as the Pistons keep doing this, I still think they take the series. They work extremely well under pressure, and best demonstrated that in last night's game.

DEEEEEEEEETROIT BASKETBALL!

Ok how does san antonio lose by31 points!!!!!!??????

Re: Pistons or Spurs?
 

well then...if they win on Sunday then pistons will win the series. weather in 6 or 7, they still will win, only if they win on Sunday though. If they don't, they are going to be hard pressed to beat the spurs twice back in San Antonio.

In my opinion, Last nights game was the crucial game of the series. With Detroit having this much momentum (31 pts worth), it will be near impossible to beat them at home again. So, with Detroit on a possible 3 game winning streak going in to San Antonio, I don't think they will be be beaten. It happened to the Spurs last year against the Lakers, and it is happening again.

Personally I would have liked to see the finals as a 2,2,1,1,1 format.

Re: Pistons or Spurs?
 

The Spurs have finally lost thier momentum. I highly doubt they will be able to come back from that embarrassment as long as the Pistons continue this excellent performance. It's better than it has been all season.

And you know it's good when Larry Brown, who's been to the playoffs more than I can count, says Game 4 was the best game that he's ever seen :) Pistons in 6

Re: Pistons or Spurs?
 

Lisa, you can't count to 20? I'm shocked... :p

Re: Pistons or Spurs?
 

I see your coming back to the Piston side of the fence.

Re: Pistons or Spurs?
 

Hey after those two games i think the spurs are comming to the pistons side of them fence.

Re: Pistons or Spurs?
 

Then again, Larry Brown has been fired more times then you can count ;)


The Spurs will finish the Pistons off in 7 in honor of Ron Artest :D

You know, the more the Pistons keep on fighting, the less time Larry is going to have for moving into his new office in Cleveland, just give up and go bother LeBron... :-p

Re: Pistons or Spurs?
 

Pistons in 7.

Re: Pistons or Spurs?
 

Why is everyone hateing on the Pistons? Because they are good? Because they got to the finals with no kind of bench? Just get over the fact that they will win. And as for the honor of ron artest thing...he's the one that put it on hmself. He's the one that lost his temper. If he didn't rush into the stands the only thing that would have happened is that that guy would have gotten banned from the palace and artest could have got him on assult and battery, Artest would have never got suspended for the season. Get over the fact that your team isn't in there and holding a grudge against th Pistons because they put them out. the Pistons are a better team then the Pacers, 76ers, and the Heat. Get over it. Come back next year. I hate it when people in Detroit are hating on the Pistons. Yes I am guilty of doughting them, thats only because i thought that the spurs were a beter team. But now I realized that they are not, I hold the pistons with the most respect. So get over the fact that the pistons beat your team or some of you players took it upon themselves to start a fight with a fan. Thank you

Wow. Amazing win last night. I'm not gonna lie, by the end of the 1st quarter I thought the Spurs had the Pistons beat in pretty much every way (I had to leave the room with the TV, too much anxiety :p). But the Pistons came back as they've done plenty a-time in the past, again proving how good they are when behind in a series. From what I saw after the game (yes, I finally went back and watched), they made plenty of huge shots where it counted.

It'll definitely be crazy to see what Game 7 brings, I'm looking forward to it.

Re: Pistons or Spurs?
 

I think that the Spurs were thinking that they thought that they had game six in the bag, so when the Pistons won they got all discombobulated and are going to be wondering why they lost. They are going to be so discombobulated that they will lose game seven. Thats my theroy.

Re: Pistons or Spurs?
 

I agree 100% with that theory. Considering that the folks down in San Antonio were 'planning' to have a parade on Thursday, I think the loss was well deserved.

Game 7: Pistons will win by a landslide victory like that on Game 4 of this series and Game 5 of last year's NBA finals when Detroit obliterated the Lakers in the Championship winning game. It's just in their nature. Heh heh heh :D
