Hugh B Tool Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 The Lakers, as they are apt to, absolutely took the night off :mad: Jackson was outcoached coach and as a team the Showtime was turned to Slowtime by a excellant Piston Defense wall_bas Still say Lakers in 6. Remember Larry and the Answer won the 1st game in the Finals a few years back thinking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venus Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 As much as I don't like the Pistons, I would rather see them win the championship then the Lakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meat Face Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Meat Face: Lakers in 4. This is not homerism, because I'm not originally from CA nor have I ever rooted for the Lakers. Just calling it how I see it. I don't think Detroit can beat the Lakers at all. oops! scratch that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 It will be interesting to see how the Pistons respond to being so close to a 2-0 lead. I think they'll respond well, but I still don't see them beating the Lakers. Still Lakers in 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Like Soup Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Well, I was hoping for a competitive series and I think we'll get it. Even though I find myself rooting for the Pistons, I do think the Lakers will prevail. By the way, am I the only one that thinks the foul on Shaq for the three point play to make it a three point game was utter bullsh*t? Come on, Wallace standing there with his arms up and Shaq jumps into him..... wall_bas No, I am not whining... loco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down Goes Frazia Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Kobe smash .... and how 'bout 8 dimes from Luke Walton. eek! that was an outstanding basketball game. thumbs_u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh 0ne Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Well, I think if nothing else, Detroit has shown that they are for real, and can certainly play with the Lakers. I'll stick to my guns, Pistons in 6. thumbs_u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynch Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 I hate the Lakers, for that matter I don't really like NBA basketball. I cheer for the Clips(I played against Elton Brand in high school) and the T-Pups(I saw KG play in HS). I think that it will be the Lakers in seven in OT. OT is the only time that home court really matters. I think that the Lake gets one in Detroit and Detroit takes game 6. Then the Shaq and Co.(note not Kobe and Co.) take game 7 in OT 101-97. And one more question What the hell is up with Darko? He should be starting, that's the key to a Pistons series win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outshined Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 If Malone doesn't go - who replaces him? Walton? That could be more of an advantage. I don't see the Pistons winning all three at home. If they can take 2 of 3, this might go 7 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down Goes Frazia Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 well the Lakers are down 7 @ the half & Kobe has scored 1 point. eek! they're very lucky to only be down 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meat Face Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Did anyone notice how the media made Luke Walton sound like a freaking god for a couple days? Now look at him and his team....hahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Trick Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Meat Face: Did anyone notice how the media made Luke Walton sound like a freaking god for a couple days? Now look at him and his team....hahaha. Did you watch game 2? :confused: The Lakers were getting beat down just like game one and game 3. When Luke came in he gave them needed energy and turned that game around for them. The media wants LA to win, Stern wants LA to win. Once Brown was able to account for Walton and how to attack him, he was exposed. Don't spout off that Walton is some chump who can't play ball. He's in the NBA and he's got pedigree and that's aldo something the media will drool over. coach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Trick Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 I just like the way the Pistons play ball. I truly believe they are playing over their heads right now, and it's because of LB, he's got them believeing right now. LA looks lost just like they did when SA wass handing it to them. If anyone can coach a team out of this it's PJ, but LB has counterpunched every time. Pistons in 6 and stun the Laker faithful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billay Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Players in the NBA aren't used to playing against real defense . Kobe, having skipped college has never laid eyes on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egret Posted June 11, 2004 Author Share Posted June 11, 2004 Even if the Pistons don't win it all, it's been a great series for Detroit fans. Kobe looked hella frustrated last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watched them in the regular season and in the previous playoff rounds, they played top notch defense throughout. This is not a fluke. Hamilton is a pure scorer, and they have enough big guys that they can put on Shaq that they don't have to worry about foul trouble. They are built to beat the Lakers IMO. HUGH ONE:Don't underestimate the East or the Pistons. This is a good basketball team. Pistons in 6. brow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it is concerning play in this year's playoffs. My money is on Luke Walton not contributing like Game 2 the rest of the way out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
