Yeah well done the Spurs. They were by far the better team, i thought that was the best game of the series. Amare is going to be a beast next year, if he continues to get better and works on a post up game he is going to be unstoppable.

Hmmmm... Miami won but Dwayne got hurt. I'm going to be angry if Detroit advances because Miami is minus Dwayne.

i won't but detriot better win the series, i got stuff to say about the officiating, and if they lose i'll come off as a crybaby

Sucks for you that if your team does win, people will be saying that it wouldn't have happened if Dwayne didn't get hurt (and Shaq's not 100%).

people are gonna make excuses regardless....even if D-Wade comes back 100% and detriot wins the series people are gonna say he wasn't 100%...even when shaq is 70% he is still the best center in the league

wuTa, you watching the Pistons this year must be like me watching my Lakers last year. You never know what team will show up, they should have won that last game especially with Wade getting injured. They just seem to think they can just flip the champion switch and take the game over, its just like the Lakers last year and eventually it backfires.

well its still not too late for the pistons to flip the switch, they should be albe to flip the switch tomorrow, all we need to take care of the basketball, play like a team and get consistency out of billups and sheed and were money

i have a feeling detroit is gonna edge the heat, if wade plays or not. at the ned of the day, i'm gonna enjoy watching either miami or detroit play the spurs, should be good matchups..... hamilton V ginobili? duncun V wallace/shaq? parker V billups/wade? all good

Wade's injury looks pretty serious, that coupled with Shaq's injury should be enough to slow the Heat down. I picked the Spurs/Pistons for the final, but the Pistons are really gonna have to step up to take out the Spurs. I reckon Spurs in 5 or 6.

if its pistons spurs... then i think spurs mite have a harder time, IF rasheed wallace is on the floor. if he keeps calm, and doesnt get ejected, then hes gonna trouble duncun enough, i think billups and hamilton will have their ways(just) with parker and ginobili. the key to the series is how well the bench players play, like barry, horry, dice, and arroyo. if any of these step up then it could be enough.

good post^^^^

when detroit plays to there strengths and potential they are the best team in the league...their problem is they think they can beat everyone at there own game, but when they play team ball, defense and hustle, than there oppenent is in for a rough night, i have all the faith in the world that detriot well play to there potential Monday Night and win game 7, i'm hoping Wade plays so i don't hear any excuses

Even if Wade does play the Pistons should still win if they play their game. They were brilliant last year in the playoffs, they were hungrier than any other team and their defense was awesome. This year they seem to be too complacent, like the other teams are gonna roll over and die because they are the champs. It reminds me of the Lakers last year and we all know how that story ended.
I picking the Spurs because they are consistent, the Pistons have the potential to win the series but they haven't shown me any consistency this year and thats why i doubt them. The Spurs defense has been fantastic especially in the Suns series and their offence is starting to come together at the right time.
I hope that the Pistons come to play hard in the Finals, it will make it a better series. I would probably pick last years Pistons to beat the this years Spurs, but this years Pistons are not as hungry.

thats excatly what worried me this whole playoff run...the pistons determination, like you said....last year they were extremely hungry, and it showed when they played...this year they haven;t showed that tenacity as much, or if it at all

WHOOOO!!!!!! DETROIT BABY DETROIT!!!!!afrotoot 😱 💃 💃 🤘

Ok...that was a great game but when but when billups tied the game with that 3 to make it 74/74 i knew detriot was gonna pull through...and boy did thay officiating suck balls all series!!!!...that was the worst officiating i ever seen in my life, Wade is a great player, and i'm a big fan but he does NOT deserve that much respect....there was so many phantom fouls on him it was absurd....another thing, i hate keyon dooling, i hate that ****er, he would make a shot(even a simple shot) than get this hard ass look on his face like he's some badass....enjoy your offseason assclown clown

Now for the spurs....this series should be awesome, they matchup against each other perfectly...there is no way this one is going 5 games like last year... i predict the champs just like i did last year, i wanted the spurs all year and now i got them, don't make me look stupid boys, and they shouldn't as long sheed plays like sheed and chauncey makes the right decisions and takes over games when he needs to....its time for war fellas tomcat

Congratulations wuTa. I didnt see the game but i was following it on the web, sounds like a close one.
The Pistons can repeat no doubt, but like i keep saying they cant switch it on when they want especially against the Spurs.
They need to come out and play with the same intensity and determination as last years finals, sorry wuTa i cant see that happening. They may have flashes of brilliance but against the Spurs you have to be flawless.
Hope I'm wrong for your sake though, seeing as there are no Spurs fans around here at least one of us has a team in the finals.

This series is going to be ugly but damn there are some interesting macthups: Billups vs Parker, Hamilton vs Bowen, Prince vs Genobli, the two Wallaces vs Duncan.

Both teams are pretty much equal defensively but the Spurs are a better offensive team so I'm pickin the Spurs in six.

People always say that these Pistons are not nice to watch, but I like watching them play. I don't care about the number of points at the end. I think that good team basketball and hustle is beautiful ball. I like the defensive intensity and the fact that they are not dirty. I like the way they congratulate the other team after a game. The Pistons/Heat game tonight was a great game.

The Spurs also have a classy type of game. The series may not be high scoring, but IMHO it will not be ugly.

May the best team win!

i'll be honest, i love watching teams play tough defense. and the pistons do to this pretty well i reckon😉 its a hard one to call, but i;'ve always been an east fan, so i'm going detroit. i think the fact that its the finals will make them play strong. its gonna be a great finals though!

i say de-twa in 6 🙂

NO!! 😠 😠 Miami Lost!! Im rootin for the Spurs because The Pistons knocked out my favorite team.. then knocked out Reggie... Then Dwayne.. and when you do that i dont think im gonna root for you in the next series. ANy other situtation though i would root for them. The only person i dont like on that team is Rasheed. Mainly becuase he's real stupid some times when he gets the technicals fouls( i like it though when i want them to lose._ And he talks to much.

This is what i want to happen
Game 1- SPurs win in 3 OT
2- Spurs in 3 OT
3 and 4- Pistons in Triple OT
5- Spurs in triple OT (oh yeah and each game ending in a buzzer beater)
6- Pistons in 4 OT
7- In the 5th OT... Pistons ball.. 10 secs left.. but 5 on the shot clock... the ball goes to RAsheed and he's about the dunk it.. when DUncan out of nowhere biffs the hell out of him... The biggest biff in the world.... the ball flys all the way to half court.. where Ginobli gets it and has enough time to dunk it for the win. 😄 😄 😄 😄 :
