No NBA finals thread?

I am so glad the Pistons dropped the Heat. And I think they will do the same to the Spurs. But this time in only 6 games.

Detroit is too strong defensively for the Spurs (even though the Spur's have some great offensive variety) and I don't think the Spurs are strong enough defensively to handle Detroit's starting 5 (and some of their bench). The only thing that might be a problem is the home court advantage, but Detroit can overcome that as proven by the Eastern Conference Finals.

Detroit wins series 4-2.

Detroit has a way of winning on the road in the playoffs. Detroit's games ride on Chauncy. IF he leads right and watches his shots they will win.

Celtics vs. Lakers, Isiah...we are a bunch of grognards...

Kangrunder, Loki is right, both the Spurs and the Pistons are focused on the fundamentals...so you should watch...not so sure how much of the rest of America will

It's a pure basketball fans dream. I know the ratings are going to be low but its going to be one of the best series in a bit.

I'll have to give it a look.

My main problem with the NBA is pretty much the same problem I have with baseball. There is no accountability for the players. Spewell can choke his coach and isn't kicked out of the league and has charges brought up on him? Barry Bonds can be the focus of a big steriod investigation and he's not the first guy tested? It makes me sick. The only reason why I even still watch baseball is that it's been my favorite sport as long as I can remember. Even then, I go to more independent league games than MLB games nowadays.

This will be a great series, I'm really looking forward to it. Detroit was lucky to get past the Heat (thank God they did!), and barring injury I don't think they'll get lucky twice. Still, they are a damn good team.

Spurs 4-3, in the best finals series in a decade.

Just to go on record once again before the series starts. Spurs in 5.

It's no surprise that I'm saying Spurs in 4 or 5, in a string of 95-85 wins that make you wonder if this is the same team that was scoring 120 points against Phoenix a few weeks ago.

Looks like Dr. J picked the Spurs, and Clyde the Glide wouldn't commit. Funny!
