Cavs flying under the radar here...

 

[Southernsaint]

I hope not, the Pistons struggle against dem Jazz.
I know this might sound nuts, but i would prefer to play the Spurs.
The Jazz have the Pistons number...just like the Warriors have the Mavs number.
All about matchups.

I'm not sure, charlie.

My first thought is that Parker, Manu & Duncan present a bigger match up problem than Deron, AK & Boozer...

Anyway...

Will someone tell Vince Carter that the series has started (and ended).

He was anonymous.

Pistons struggle vs th Jazz.
Yes, the Spurs are a better team than the Jazz, but the Pistons can handle them.
Boozer, Kirilenko and Okur can cause dramas for the Pistons.
The Spurs have a front line of Duncan and thats it in all honesty

 

[Jono Russell]

Like one of the announcers said on espn today. I wish the series could be best of 15 between Suns and Spurs. These two teams have played some of the best games I have seen this year.

Stoudemire, Nash, Duncan and Ginobli are just f**king great to watch

 

[Stonecutter]

Had the series gone to 7 games it would have definately eclipsed last years Spurs vs Mavs series.

It's true... over the past 3 years we have had a very impressive record over the Pistons.

We were 2-2 this year with the spurs.

If we can get past the spurs I think Utah will be a huge chance.

Pleeeaaaassee!!!

Spurs with a comfortable win at home vs the Jazz.
spurs can beat them in utah and with home court adv this series is already looking over with.

Pleeeaaaassee!!!

the spurs have a few key players

duncan
ginobli
parker

they mentioned in game 6 against the suns, everytime parker scores 20+ points, the spurs are more liklely to win.

havent seen too much of jazz this year but they look the goods.
i just cant see anyone beating pistons with that lineup.

also, what games are being played on espn?
the eastern conference or the western conference finals?
it looks like the eastern to me because the next game is on wednesday which is live, which is the same day of the eastern conference finals (game 1)

 

[Mr Saab]

Game one of Pistons Cavs is played tomorrow our time at 10am
There is no game scheduled for our time Wednesday.
Who knows what games they are showing. ESPN suck the big one.
They prefer to broadcast shows like Car Auctions....i mean WTF has that got to do with Sport?

On Sunday I got to flick to a show from Hong Kong about video games, WTF?? ESPN sucks arse. I was browsing NBA.com & saw that live audio streaming of playoff games is free for the rest of the year – just a suggestion.

The Jazz were disappointing from all accounts today. I will wait to see what they say on Sportscentre seeing as you can’t see a replay of the game on telly here in Oz…

[The Dodger]

looks like it will be a spurs pistons final again.

 

[Mr Saab]

Spurs vs Pistons in the finals...book it...and this one you can out your house on, unlike Dallas (MC84).
Last friday the Spurs were $3 to win the west and the Pistons were $1.90 to win the east.
I put 200 on them both to win for a nice return of 1140.

It is starting to take shape.

 

[Southernsaint]

Even decent efforts from Boozer & Deron couldn't save Utah...

 

[Stonecutter]

I really wasn't to confident in the spurs winning it this year. I thought it would be the mavs and SUns for sure in the West championship finals.

Can't wait for the draft with 3 picks.

 

[Southernsaint]

We dodged a buillet by all accounts - a massive no call for King James saved Detroit this morning...

What a strange series - two miniscule differences in both games & it's the pistons down 2-0 instead of up 2-0
