[CatnipOligarchy]

Okay... It is here... Tonight... The NBA Finals... Game 1... LA Lakers vs The Detroit Pistons...

Although I terribly want the Lakers to lose, I know they wont. In fact, I believe if they do not sweep, they will take it in 5.

Remember, this LA Team was compiled with 4 great super stars just to win the championship... Although they had their ups and downs during the course of the season, they are doing what they were bought together to do... I truly feel we have not even seen them play to their potential yet... And I am also pretty sure that when they do win, Phil Jackson is saying bye... Then the rebuilding begins...

I truly hope the Pistons win, but I am not holding my breath... again I hope Detroit does prove me wrong...

I know we also have the Playoff thread, but the Playoffs are over.

The Finals are here, and although I do not want them to, LA will WIN.

game five - pistons

possibility - %25

Like I said, I dont want to be right and I want LA to lose... and I must say as I am watching the game and it is now the 3rd Quarter I am pleasantly suprised and I hope Detroit does prove me wrong!!!

[kainashi]

pistons win big time. :DDDD

[-=SD=-]

nice, go Detroit :D

[ThunderRiver]

yeah that was a surprise.. I didn't think Piston would do that good ;).. guess I am wrong..

I am living in Ann Arbor, so guess the game is extra exciting for me knowing that Piston won big time over Lakers.

for visual aid, look at my sig, try really hard not to look at her mouth, move your eyes to the PISTONS logo :D

[ThunderRiver]

Vice King, yep.. a great optical illusion.. I can't see the Pistons logo :-p

Great gameplan by Larry Brown: let Kobe and Shaq do all the scoring and clamp down on the "role" players. And surprisingly, the referees were pretty good in this game. They even called Shaq for a 3 second call, which he does every single time.

The series is FARRRRRRR from over, though.

yup, good game calls today.. they were doing their post game announcements and they were saying the reason why they lost is because they were rusty, because they were resting for so long. pffft

yes the series is far from over, i just wish pistons, especially Big Ben would stop shooting those wild shots because he can't make THEM! sheesh, that was what i think 6 - 10 extra points pistons could have had if wallace didn't try and make those "good looking" shots. every basket counts, lets make em!

Pistons will sweep :D

I Am Glad the Pistons proved me wrong, I truly am...

but heed the quote...

and remember back to just 2 rounds in the playoffs, Spurs had a 2-0 lead on LA.

Also remember to 3 years ago in the finals, Larry Brown's team at the time also won the first game of the Finals...

I really do hope Detroit wins, more than anything I do, but just as the quote says, it is indeed FARRRRRRRRRR from over
