[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 2354984, member: 2205"] And that was the big problem -- Detroit was underestimated by [i]everyone[/i] until after game 6 of the finals series, when suddenly a lot of sports writers and commentators started finally picking them to win after all. You'd think that after winning last year with the same line-up that people would think they were capable, but they made excuses for it and blew it off as a fluke. When Detroit came back this year, they [i]still[/i] got no respect until the very end. I like San Antonio a lot -- before I came to Detroit, I lived in Texas (although the Rockets are my team 4ever!) and my wife would love for me to find a job in San Antone and take us back (before winter hits, preferably ;)) but I wanted Detroit to win to shut up all the naysayers that ignored the evidence right in front of their eyes and didn't think they even had a chance to win. Folks like drothgery who picked San Antonio to win 4-0, and then complained about it the whole time anyway, for instance. ;) [/QUOTE]
