    • Hard to imagine a scenario in which the game five winner does not win the series at this point.

      Naturally, game five will, again, be occuring at the same time as the Stanley Cup Finals.

      • What is the 9th western team with over 50 wins?
        Didn't the Warriors make it to 50?

        Edit, and Missed Orlando. Thanks Tuberski!

        • I think the Pistons could win game 7 on the road, but I'd rather see them win in 6. It'd be easier on my nerves.

          • "Sliding toward parity" is not a claim of current overall league balance, Ben.

            Darn bunny. Sorry Jrabbit!

            I don't think it's ever been this far out of whack.

                Last year (06-07) was definitely more out of balance IMO. Detroit was the only competitive team from the East and when they lost to Cleveland, the Finals became a joke. Anyone from the final 4 in the West would have been a prohibitive favorite, and rightly so.

                Out West this year, Phoenix and Dallas came back to the pack. New Orleans and LA rose up. Utah is improved. But there was no truly dominant team -- more like a pack of 8-9 really good teams.

                In the East, Boston pieced together a real team while Detroit recovered from its malaise. Cleveland faded a bit, but the young teams in Orlando and Atlanta made measurable progress.

                Parity is a process. It takes a few years. But the process has begun.

                • Especially now that the NBA rigged the draft again so the BULLs should rejoin the upper level.
                  It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

                  • If by 'returning to parity', you mean that the pace of the difference has slowed, then yes I agree. Thats' still a long way from saying that it's even peaked.

                      • Lousy decision by Barry at the end. You get a guy in the air, you jump into him and attempt the shot.

                        • I loved the TNT announcers after the game. They all agreed that, had it been Kobe, he would have been at the line for 3 shots.

                          • Kobe

                            would not have dribbled the ball had his defender jumped into the air.

                            • Yeah, that was really stupid on Barry's part. Heck, all he had to do was get under Fisher to force the call. And they were only down two.

                              • Pistons had a big comeback, only to fall short. Sheed got his sixth tech. One more and he misses a game. Rip Hamilton hurt his right elbow near the end of the game. Hope he'll be OK for game 6.
