Nah, with the way that Spurs outplay and outscore Pistons in the first 2 games, I doubt that Pistons can make much of a comeback even at home.
Pistons really kenna thrashed by Spurs in game 2.
actually,
I thought pistons was not really trashed by spurs in game 2. I think the officials made it VERY hard for the pistons in Game 2. Also pistons made some really BAD passes (silly turnovers), picked up technical fouls, missed so many sitters, etc. Pistons actually out rebounded Spurs by quite a lot. The two Wallaces were pretty good. All they need is just friendly officials and some ok shooting by Prince and Hamilton.
I think it will be different at pistons home court.
I still stick by my prediction of spurs to win in 6. Pistons should win 2 out of three home games.

Damn... What an effort by the Pistons. Looks like we've got a series now.
Manu = 7 pts, 2-6 fg, 6 TOs. What's wrong with Manu? I'm sure he will come back strong in Game 4.
Go Spurs!

Go Spurs!
He's injured... hope he's fine otherwise this may be Pistons' chance... Ben Wallace prob played so well because he's playing in remembrance of his old pal, who died a few days ago....
Pistons is just as strong as Spurs. They were not blown away on the last two games but rather a bit unlucky with the calls. In game 2 I think Spurs has so MANY more points just from free throws.
The officials plays a HUGE role in NBA. Imagine Ben gets called with early fouls in Game three. Everything will be different.
This time round, hamilton and billups did their work and ben wallace was REALLY huge. If he plays like that all the time, Spurs is in deep trouble. I believe Ben is more than a match for Tim, one on one.
Mcdyess played very well on game 3 but I think he VERY unreliable. Like to take tough fadeaway shots.... hope he does not shoot more on Game 4, else pistons sure lose one...

can the spurs bounce back to win at the pistons home court? or can the pistons religate ginobilli and duncan to non-factors again in game 4?

Piston really kick Spurs' A$$ today.... I still think Spurs will prevail as they are the better offensive team.
Fav player... Amare.. his potential is unlimited... close 2nd will be LeBron...follow by maybe Nash or Duncan..
Fav Team ... no one team really, all not very good IMHO>.HAHA

Looks like Piston sleepwalking is over. They have started to wake up which is good coz I thought 2-0 looks a bit boring.
My fav player - who else but Yao Ming! So Fav Team is the Houston Rockets. But I don't care about Van Gundy (coach) - hope they get a better coach for Yao Ming.
BTW, anyone wants a 2005 calendar from SLAM magazine? I am giving it away. Pls pm me if interested.

looks like we have a good series on hand!!! :thumbsup:nemesis32 said:
the pistons are showing the "blue-collar" resilience they are reknown for... but the spurs are uncharacteristically disappearing on defence?!?!!
ben wallace and the pistons!! why? because i was told that i play like him... minus the block, steals, and rebounds... :sweat:CLQ said:
other favourites include, dikembe, ai, and kg!! :thumbsup:
Spurs will prevail in the 6!
Duncan needs to step it up. Ginobili seems hurt still, but Duncan is our MVP and it's time he shows it. :angry:

it's now effectively a 3-game series!!Jake Shuttlesworth said:
as good as duncan is, he can only do so much, the spurs need ginobilli to show up!! i was betting on co-MVPs (if the spurs win) of duncan and manu. (but i don't think that such awards have ever been given out to 2 players before, except in the all-star game for karl malone and john stockton)
