No NBA finals thread?

I liked both teams, but I wanted the Pistons to take it... it was a pretty good series anyway.

Let's hope we never see anything like this game again. This is pro basketball, with 48 minute games; both teams barely combining for 150 points is just wrong.

I loved it, but then I love defense in all sports.

It was a painful loss, but you couldn't ask for a better opponent to lose to. Here's hoping for a rematch next year.

Hear hear!

Agreed! One reason I'm such a SA fan is that they're a classy team, no thugs whatsoever. I can't root for teams with thugs.

This is the nicest, most polite, and most civil sports discussion I've ever seen. I'm used to various athletes being called names and fingers pointing at missed calls on both sides...

Okay.. ..



Here is to quality basketball and a quality team like the Pistons!

As far as I'm concerned it's almost impossible to bicker about either team. I respect everyone involved in this series. There isn't a single Spur I have any problems with. I'll also have to tip my hat to Horry, who was awesome for San Antonio in the clutch.

Coming from Houston, the city with which Horry won his first two titles, and the city for which Horry was very useful in the clutch, I also tip my hat to Horry.

I did want the Pistons to win, though, because while I respect both teams, I think Detroit and the Eastern Conference still doesn't get the respect it deserves in the NBA.

Speaking as a Michigan resident, you wouldn't guess that the pistons are underappreciated if you've been anywhere in the state for the last month or so. It really is phenomenal how popular the Pistons are within the boundries of the state. I tried to get into the Palace to watch tonight's game, but I came a little too late. It's amazing when a team manages to seat capacity when they aren't even playing in the building.
