    lol a lot of people despise Ginobili, but I can't seem to hate him. The guy is amazing and I love the way he plays. Some say he flops and that makes him less of a great player, but really all players flop, the ones who get away with it are the ones hated for it.

    Well, Spurs is on their own court so they can win over Detroit easily. So, let's see Spurs can win Detroit in Game 2.

    Considering the Spurs have lost I think a total of 3 times at home this year INCLUDING playoffs is remarkable. With Spurs having home court, I guess it really does make the Pistons the underdogs.

    Spurs, bitch. I've been waiting a long time to see them win, and I don't feel like being disappointed. I say they'll take it in 5.

    I think they'll take it in 6, even though my vote is for the Pistons.

    Even though, I think just like you guys with the Spurs winning it in 5 or 6, there is a chance that the Pistons will show up for the rest of the series. But my guess is Spurs in 6, but it'll probably go 5.

    I think Piston still go a chance to bring back the title. It just game 2, who knows the future.

    This is the worst nba finals series to watch for a very long time. No body cares about these two teams. The ratings are down 30% from last year. The spurs and pistons are the 2 most boring teams in the league. Who cares if they play the game how it should be. It's boring.

    You have to love the game to appreciate this years finals. These two teams play as one unit, not depend on one or two players. The reason the ratings are down is because theres no Kobe, Shaq, Dwayne Wade, Iverson, Kevin Garnett, Vince Carter, or any other awesome basketball player. But honestly if you watch this years finals you could not help but to just be amazed by Manu Ginobili. The man is fearless! This years finals is good, not the best, but when was the last good finals? The last couple finals have not been close at all, they are all 4-1 or 4-2. This one has potential to go to game 7, but thats only if Detroit shows up for the rest of the Finals. Its pretty much about respect for the game and how these teams play, not all glitz and glamour.

    yes i have. i decided not to say who will be in the finals because they have already started. and my rant is talking about the entertainment value of this years finals. the 2 teams play basketball how it should be played. but i have no interest in these 2 teams. i prefer teams and players that show emotion and have flash and flare.

    Yes! Piston beat Spurs. Billups are in a good form man. I think he will be the MVP winners. :D

    Yeah, at their position, they just need to play this series game by game. They can't get ahead of themselves.

    My guess is that the Pistons win games 3 and 5, making the series come back to San Antonio and the Spurs winning it at home. So far I am half right. I'd like to see this go a game 7 though.

    wow , Ben Wallace really stepped up his game..
    If he can continue doing the things that he did in game 3 , everybody would strive off his confidence and they wouldnt have a problem winning the championship..

    I wouldnt go as to say no problem because they are dealing with Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and of course Manu Ginobili, but hell yeah the team would strive off of Ben Wallace. This is most active I have been in a thread ever lol. I love basketball dammit!
