  • Nice.

    Well if they get past Boston, hopefully the finals will be a repeat of 04 - not 05.

    • Wow...destruction of the Pistons at home. Still, it'll be Boston in 7. Celts-Lakers, the series the NBA is drooling over.

      Two thoughts about tonight's game:

      1.) Big Baby - anyone that can set-up a successful pick on TWO guys is on my team any day.

      2.) Anyone listening to this racially-charged commentary on ABC?

      • Why the dislike of the Spurs? I don't get it. Kobe isn't so hot.

        • I hate it when the Pistons win one, then take the next game off. What a poor effort.

            Less a dislike of the Spurs, more a chance for the NBA to pull out all its old Cetics-Lakers footage. That's been a rivalry since the Lakers were based out of Minnesota (hence being called the "Lakers").

            • EmpFab -- I was watching with the sound muted. Please clarify re "racially-charged commentary."

              • Black guy mispronounces "quagmire"

                White guy makes fun of black guy (earned) than insinuates he went to some backwater Louisiana black college (he went to Yale, actually).

                Black and white guy have very awkward exchanges, culminating in third guy taking over commentary for a bit.

                  Ok. I can understand that, but I don't think Pistons/Spurs would be a bad series either.

                  • Any matchup would be some pretty good basketball. The league is sliding toward parity, as evidenced that the East actually has two teams that can likely be competitive in the finals.

                    • Umm, can I have some of what you've been smoking Zkribbler?

                      9 western teams over 50 wins, compared with just 2 in the east is not 'balance'.

                      The reason you have 2 'decent' teams is because they built up their record pummelling the lesser teams in the east.

                        What is the 9th western team with over 50 wins?

                        The reason you have 2 'decent' teams is because they built up their record pummelling the lesser teams in the east.
                        FWIW, the Pistons were 22-8 against the west, and the Celtics 25-5.

                          Which Eastern team are you putting in the West?

                          Detroit, Boston or Orlando? All over 50 wins.

                          ACK!

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

                            • Pistons tie it up.

                              Now keep it going for game 5.

                              • Yeah, wouldn't it be nice to see the Pistons string together two straight good games?
