Re: Pistons or Spurs?
I have to go with the hometown DETROIT PISTONS. In comparing position by position it is a interesting match up.
Guards Tony Parker/Brent Barry/Manu Ginobli
Chauncey Billups/Rip Hamilton/Lindsey Hunter
Detroit has the edge with arguably the best player that nobody knows in Billups, though Ginobli is a very close second. Hunter is the one of the best on ball players in the league and will cause major trouble for the spurs. I Will pick Detroit here
Forwards Tim Duncan/ Bruce bowen/ Nazr Mohammed
Ben Wallace/ Rasheed Wallace/Tayshaun Prince
San Antonio has the best player in the series with Duncan. Bruce Bowen is also one of the best on ball defenders so he is another plus. The thing is that both Wallace's and Prince combine to make arguably the most formidable front line so I am going to pick them and their length. (they are really tall)
Bench San Antonio
Detroit
Here is where both teams shine. They both have incredibly deep benches with every player on San Antonio playing in the playoffs. I will have to go with San Antonio for this one just because they all can play.
Coaching Greg Popovich
Larry Brown
This is the most interesting match up of all. The two coaches of the USA basketball team at the last Olympics. Larry has already lead Detroit to the championship last year and thereby solidifying his place on the list of greatest coaches of all time. In this battle you can't stop Larry Brown and the pistons.
So in conclusion i think the pistons will win in 6 games.
Man I have way to much free time
