That's the best part, the losing  . I want to see how they get out of this situation. It'd take a miracle or something. |

| It would. Only 2 finals have ever even gotten to a game 7 when a team was down 3-1. | |||

| 94-70 Detroit with 5:30 to go. So... maybe Shaq will reconsider going to the Olympics now, hm?  |

| Amazing how many people picked a 5-game series; too bad they picked the wrong team. | |||

HA! This just shows: That you should never count the underdogs out.  Man, talk about a beating, though. I sorta had this feeling since what happened during the last game. |

| ...4-1 doesn't exactly strike me as an underdog performance. Neither do a few blowouts. Congrats. |

Indeed. I think this quote (from the Recap) sums it up the best:
My congratulations go out to the Pistons, and to Rasheed Wallace who finally beat the Lakers and won his ring. With the Lakers looking to crumble, it's like everything has come out alright. Four years after that fateful game in 2000, I feel like I've finally gotten retribution. Now if only the Blazers will actually make the playoffs next year...

| Yes, it's over. I just hope there aren't low-scoring games next year as the "effect" of the Pistons. | |||

Originally posted by Colleen Well, I'm talking about all those people who said that the Lakers were going to take in 4 and how it's their year and all that jazz. Usually when people say that, the underdog tends to win.  |

| Herein lies the problem, VN: * Kobe will probably stay if Phil leaves. * GP's not going anywhere, because he's not going to make $5 million anywhere else now. * Malone's as good as gone, but that's small comfort. So they're not dead yet, and maybe this'll light a fire under their asses... Wait, didn't we say that after they got knocked out in the second round last season? |

| HA! Now the Lakers and the fans can't talk crap. Everyone always at school says Laker this and Lakers that. Now it's like..now what? On the news thingy it says Phil might leave, Kobe might leave, Malone's gone...I need to read the article. I was one of the ones who thought the Lakers were gonna sweep. I'm glad they were the ones who got crushed on mwhaha Congrats to the Pistons (edited by Bella on 06-16-04 05:35 PM) |

| Ha, ha. Laugh now, but realize your reward. Every 1 in about 30 games will even get to 100 points. 1 in every 6 games or so will have a score in the 60s. Almost every game will have a maximum below 90. Pathetic! | |||

| then 29 in 30 games will be more tense and more dramatic, where every point means more; 1 in 6 games will be even more so; as opposed to simply being a race of nothing but scoring and the occasional free-throw (speaking of which, it takes a foul to go to the free-throw line, and those are exciting or at least interesting, aren't they?). in short, the matches will be more technically sound rather than big and flashy. the pistons played a technically sound game; the lakers played the big-and-flashy game. the lakers, this season, could beat pretty much any other team at the big-and-flashy game; that's what got them to the finals. the pistons, however, played a different kind of game, forcing the big-and-flashy players to play on the pistons' terms. we all know what the result was when they met in the playoffs. in the end, only wins matter.

| More tense, more dramatic, and more boring! There is nothing you can say to convince me otherwise. 80-point games compared to 110-point games... I'll take 110-point games any day. A while ago, 110-point games were common, and the teams played better defense than the Pistons do know. | |||

Originally posted by Vystrix Nexoth What do you mean by technically sound and"big-and-flashy"? I just would like to see occasional 3 pointers at least once in awhile. Towards the end of that last game all the Pistons could shoot were air balls. That's not very fun to watch. They did well defensively but they didn't always capitalize on it. They just kept the Lakers down and made what they could. I was waiting for Kobe to break out with those 3 pointers. He tried, they all did. They still all suck but I'm just wondering how things will turn out. |

| I don't want to see how this will turn out, unless it turns out to be high-scoring games... | |||

Originally posted by JJ64 Sorry to bring this back up after so many months of inactivity, but this isn't resistable for me. I hope the Pistons do influence a new, lower scoring style of play to the NBA. First of all, it'll help weed out all the people, who call themselves basketball fans, who are watching the game for all the wrong reasons. Secondly, then maybe it'll help produce a backbone of unselfish, fundamentally sound players, cause it'd be the only way to win championships. We could use them for international competition and restore some pride to the National team by producing blowout after blowout like they used to. Let's face it...IF the US just sent the Pistons over to play in the Olympics (10 of them, at least), they'd have been untouchable. The teams would struggle to score 30 on them. |
