richmond_mat Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Detroit fans had better enjoy this win because you're only going to win one more game this season. Spurs in six. Not so fast there Homer. It looked like the Pistons weren't wasting their fouls last night. Ginobli and Parker were beaten pretty good and they were less effective. I wonder how well those two will stand up to a continual beating in the lane. If the Pistons win Thursday then it could be they who win in six. I enjoyed the game last night. Who cares how many points are scored as long as the intensity is as high as it was. :player: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalboomer7 Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 I think theor should be one less official and there should be an age limit on officails. If the game is so fast why the hell are 60 year old men running up and down the floor covering the game. At that age hasn't your eyesight, decision making skills, and endurance faded qiute a bit. Officails in all sports are usually old and I just don't get that. If you had a properly trained 35 year old that has 20/20 vision and is young enouhg to get up and down the floor or the field or whatever.I just don't like the fact that the officials have too much impact in deciding the game and they often use it. The Finals are all about who is the best team, so they should swallow their whistles and let the teams find out who's better.By the way, the Pistons by far played thier best game last night and the Spurs still had the lead at half and were still in it until the fourth. I think for the Pistons to win this they will have to play almost perfect, and the Manu injury could slow him downBottom Line, this series goes seven games.

CBin2k7 Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Spurs will win in 6. They take game 4 and close it out in San Antonio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Next_Big_Thing Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Spurs will win in 6. They take game 4 and close it out in San Antonio. Personally I don't think Detroit will lose a single game at home, and it will come down to the question of whether they can steal the 6th or 7th game.

CBin2k7 Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 No offense Detroit or San Antonio fans, but this has got to be the least competitive 2-2 series I have ever seen in my life. Fairly boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairly boring. It was a fun game for Detroit fans. It's also surprising that the series is tied at 2 and no game has been close at the end. The Spurs look beaten, but they have three days to recover. The Pistons might be too physical for them and could close this out in six. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalboomer7 Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Yawn. One of the worst Final ever. Could the games get any less dramatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBin2k7 Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Yeah, if you are a fan of the team than the finals are exciting. But if you are a basketball fan you can['t be getting much out of these finals. I am undecided whether to watch game 5, if you dont' believe me look at the ratings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Antonio Bengal Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 I hope you decided to watch game 5. That was what the finals are all about! I still can't believe that game. Big Shot Rob comes through again, and this time it wasn't against us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Shot Rob comes through again, and this time it wasn't against us! I cannot believe that Rasheed threw the double down on Ginobli leaving Horry WIDE open when he'd been the hottest shooter for the Spurs. Major mental breakdown and it cost the Pistons the game and maybe the series. The Pistons didn't hit Ginobli hard enough on his drives to the hoop as they did in games 3 and 4. Last night's game wasn't physical enough for the Pistons to win.On another note, Timmy Duncan is a wussy. And the officials gave the Spurs some timely play stoppages, especially at the beginning of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBin2k7 Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Yeah I did watch it was a pretty good game finally. Tim Duncan was working on a big time 4th quarter choke. Still don't know how Rob Horry got that dunk off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agreed on every single point you made, especially about Rasheed leaving and the horrible officiating.You've spoken like a true Pistons fan. Good for you.I have a problem though. I have to watch Game 7 at my grandparents house, where I will be screaming and yelling at the TV, and they have a large problem with my, um, enthusiasm about sports. You could say obsession, but I won't say that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could say obsession, but I won't say that. Your problem is minor. Just keep the cheering profanity free and everything should be fine. Maybe grandpa or grandma like basketball. BTW I'm not that big of a pistons fan. I just like their style of basketball. I think Larry Brown would have done better at the olympics if he had just taken his team.

bengalboomer7 Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 It's still only been an average series. But I am thoroughly convinced that they should fire all NBA refs and let the players call their own fouls. I can't believe these guys are suppossed to be professional referees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richmond_mat Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 I think Larry Brown would have done better at the olympics if he had just taken his team. No doubt.We agree on something. No crow? Do you still believe the Spurs are going to win the series? I think the spurs are done, and have been since poor Timmy was shown on the bench at the end of game four. (That was worth watching) This series should be over with the Pistons hoisting the trophy last night. So if the better team is to win the series then I think it will be the pistons. The more physical team will win the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Antonio Bengal Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Yes, I still believe that the Spurs will win the series. I have no clue what's happened to Timmy. He seems to have lost that edge of his. Of course, by most NBA standards, he was too quiet to have that edge to begin with, but there were times during the season and earlier in the playoffs when he'd single-handedly take over games. At least with a game 7, both teams will be laying it all out on the floor and I expect Timmy to do everything in his power to get a win.And one good thing happened in game 6. Bennett Salvatore was one of the refs and so he can't show up for game 7. There is some kind of crazy Bennett Salvatore hex on this team. Die hard Spurs fan sees him come out on the court and just thinks "Oh, no. Here we go again." But, there weren't any calls from him that were beyond his normal reffing lunacy... And yeah, we agree on the who Olympics thing. I was saying that same thing last year -- if the Pistons went to the Olympics instead of the "Sleepwalking Team," Manu Ginobli wouldn't have a gold medal.

CBin2k7 Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Wow if players called there own fouls the games would never end. Everytime someone goes to the basket they are fouled and everytime someone commits an obvious foul they didn't do it.By the way I am thouroughly rooting for the best team to win this series. Problem is, I don't know what team that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
