50 detroit wins

shaq has had time to rest -

miami takes it all

Detroiiiiit Basketball!

Elden Campbell has had MORE time to rest LOL :321GFY

the opportunity for Detroit to end the series is BIG as long
as they paly honest defense against Shaq, Heat fans surely
don't want to see Shaq in the free throw line

:smokin

I love it.. .hahahaha! The only way Detroit can win is they play honest defense. hahahaha! Dude, you are one of the same dudes that said the Lakers would KILL Detroit last year, yet it was all but a sweep in the other direction. Now you say the Lakers suck last year, yet they had a great season record as well as made it all the way to the NBA finals, favored to win by a landslide.

But yeah, whatever, Pistons are only good because they play dishonest defense. haha!


Again, I'll bet ya $1000.00 that Detroit wins the series.

If you are so sure it will be an easy bet for ya. Come on... take my money..

:1orglaugh

pistons in 6

Miami will come out on top.

I'm gonna say... Detroit in 5.


I live a few towns away from the palace.. maybe i can make it to a game.

sorry pal, if you feel upset about some true facts about the Pistons, im
not your gambling partner. just here for the game, can't wait for the balls rollin.

:smokin

gotta give this one to detroit, the defending champs, shaq just aint what he used to be.

Fact are that Detroit rarely is in foul trouble or sending the other team to the free throw line. Go do a search on there foul percentages... one of the lowest, if not the lowest in the league. If Detroit played dirty, dishonest ball it would show in those stats. Wrong again my friend. :)

too bad, ain't no stat on foul trouble % vs. Shaq
may the best team wins!

:smokin

Hacking Shaq is just smart basketball. It's not dirty. If Shaq learned to shoot freethrows, he wouldn't get fouled so much.

I'm way tired of hearing him & his fans bitch about Hack-a-Shaq. Master the fundamentals of the game, including freethrows, and you won't have that problem.

Case closed.

Gotta love haq-a-shaq...

Pistons usually have Billups (.898) and Hamilton (.858) and Prince (.807) with the ball late in the game. Come on foul us.

One of the big reasons the Pistons win so much. Especially in tight games.

detroit wins if they can make the same as they did with lakers last NBA final
and i think they can do it!
Detroit 4-2

Listen, i know NBA basketball like the back of my hand. First off, dont let this Shaq "thigh contusion" fool you. It didnt hasnt fooled me one bit, and it hasnt fooled Larry Brown and the Pistons. Please, thigh contusion for bout a month? gtfo. You know what i learned about Shaq this year since the move to Miami, i dont even think this guy cares as much as he did in LA when he won the first 3 championships, Shaq missed 2 playoff games his first 2 in his CAREER, please he could of played we all know this. Even if shaq is healthy, WRITE THIS DOWN he will only have 1-2 30 pt games this series IF THAT...Wade will be stopped, no 30 pt games this series buddy, not agaisnt the Pistons D, maybe 1, thats MAYBE 1, If you know anything about the NBA you would be smart and take the Pistons. I love how all these shaq lovers "the heat are gonna win with shaq" no there not... lol

Game one, end of the third period.


Pistons taking Miami to school. Wade a non-factor, Oneal a non-factor.

Doing this in Miami also.

Game aint over of course, but a very telling first three periods

Since the Pacers was not able to make it, I think I would just go for O'Niel and his team.

pistons win the first game

nuff said

the heat are going to win it all. next year starts another Chicago dynasty

do you even watch basketball? detroit does not have to and will not double team shaq. wallace, wallace, campbell, mcdyess... have you ever seen elden campbell? he is nearly the size of shaq. the pistons will take every game of this series if they stay focused and don't get over confident. the pacers were a MUCH better matchup for the pistons, and they should have swept them, except they lost their focus. no one can take detroit in 7 games, just not going to happen.

Where's loverboy now?

I heard a rumor that Detroit whooped Miami's ass last night. :1orglaugh If the Pistons take two in Miami their chances go way down for advancing. :pimp

the series is far from over, you cannot predict what will happen.

:smokin

:thumbsup

series is far from over, anything is still possible.
Whoever wins, I don't care.

Stop bitching IDIOT :321GFY

Miami better when the next game or they're out

Im so happy shaq lost

I have been big on the Heat since the start of the playoffs, but last night was disheartening. Wade looked like a JV player in a varsity game. Detroit is just way to cool under pressure, Billups and Hamilton will lead the Pistons to a 4-2 series win. :(

Detroit owes it all to Joe D. for putting that team together and getting Larry
Brown.

Absolutely. Props to Joe D. As GM, he's been where his on-court rivals MJ and Bird haven't.

Game one will show you how invulnerable detroit is...

Wade's performance was terrible, hands down to Detriot's excellent defense.
i wonder what adjustment will Miami take to win one at home.

:smokin

Detroit In Six Games
 

They have been there as a team and they have a better coach.. :1orglaugh

MIami in 6 :thumbsup

I am from Detroit originally, Detroit in 6 games, maybe 5.

Hire a good coach? Not show up and let someone else play? Or, let Shaq play again?

:1orglaugh

Any perdictions for tonights game oh loverboy? :)

Think Wade will make it past 14 points tonight?

its one tough road going to MoTown, keep the spirit high :winkwink:

:smokin

40 pts. in Game 2

if Wade gets into the rythm, Miami is on fire and unstoppble :2 cents:
Series now even, still anyone's game

:smokin

They barely beat Detroit last game. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Detroit in 6 or 7. Then a boring NBA final of Detroit vs San Antonio w/San Antonio in 6.

Wade was great in game 2 and Detroit was still in it at the end. Wade won't get off like that three more times against Detroits defense. I'd be worried if I was Miami.

Goooooo HEAT!!!

Heat in 6

:thumbsup

a win is a win no matter how slim the margin
is and Miami will take it :winkwink:

:smokin

No chance. No one can ever do what Chicago did.

Next game isn't until tomorrow. What's w/ taking two days off?

that's why i like this game, ball is round, anything is still possible
and unpredictable :winkwink:

If Brown decides to put a double team on Wade, Detriot's defense will
suffer and crumble. Someone is goibd to be free for a jumper or a slam.
