Recommended Posts

no way guys.. my predictions have been above 95% since the begining of the playoffs

pistons will win tomorrow and the lakers will rap it up tomorrow as well.

it will be Lakers VS Pistons in the final. now as for my prediction on the outcome of that series. Pistons will win in game 7

correct me if i'm wrong, but my predictions have been 100% correct since the begining of the Playoffs up to the conferene title.. :yes:

oh ya,

THE PISTONS WON!! WOO WOO!!!

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.

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!!!

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

    • BATorrent 3.0.3 is out.
    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
