Do the Pistons have any chances of winning?
After watching that desastrous 6th game against the Pacers I'd say it's pretty obvious that Detroit is gonna not only swept but get demolished everygame.
So do you think that they have a chance at winning this series? Poll coming up I am not scared of the guy who's one big move is pumping up his reeboks!!! |

Just because of their style of play, Detroit should win at least one game. And it actually wouldn't shock me if it went 6 or 7. But they don'thave the firepower ot win this series. And nobody really expects Tayshaun Prince to slow down Kobe, do they? He iddn't become a defensive stopper overnight. He may be lanky, but I fully expet Bryant to win his first Finals MVP.

I will beg to differ on this one. There are two guys that could ultimately change this series. Ben Wallace and Rip Hamilton. If Ben Wallace can shut down Shaq (which is one of the biggest challenges alive) the Pistons definitely have a chance. And last time I checked it will not be Tayshaun guarding Kobe and vice versa but Rip Hamilton will be guarding him. And I think with Rip guarding Kobe, Kobe will struggle in this series big time and he might only be able to score 15-20 points, instead of 25-35.
I will make the boldest prediction in this forum. Pistons in 5. |

What the fuck?
Ben Wallace won't be guarding Shaq. Rasheed will. |

And do you really think Ben can slow down Shaq when he gives up 5 inches and almost 70 pounds? You're so fucking wrong its funny. |

Well according to Brown, he said they are throwing something at Shaq that they didn't have during the regular season, and that it was Sheed.

The X Factor is Darko. DARKO is the key to shutting down Shaq. He has spent the entire season playing a Shaq Simulation, being pumped with protein and lifting weights, studying film, learning how to say really offensive things in English, and MOST IMPORTANTLY how to flop like a motherfucker. He is going to start in all 7 games and dominate Shaq start to finish. MARK MY WORDS. YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST. Darko Milicic for Finals MVP. |

I mean, why the fuck else would they bench him an entire season? It's cruel. So obviously they have been training him rigorously for the biggest battle of a lifetime. It's the only way they can be justified in not playing their #2 draft pick overall. ![]() Next year, Darko will throw Sheed's ass to the bench. ![]() |

Also I think the Pistons CAN beat the Lakers. The question is WILL they? And I pretty much doubt that.
They will make the games ugly and boring, though. THANK GOD. I hope they make the games 65-61 shitfests at Staples Center. HOLY SHIT WOULD THAT BE AWESOME. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Nah it's going to be a lot closer than people think.
You do remember the regular season games don't you? Games were in the 90-100 range, and that's without Sheed. Again, it will be a lot closer than people think and I think it will be a lot more exciting than people think. |

This would be a helluva lot more exciting if Joe Dumars could go back in time and pick Melo instead of Darko.

Its up to the Pistons, if they play 4 games up to their potential, the series will be over in 4. However, if they fall asleep and jsut go through the motions it might go 5.
The Lakers just dont have too much fire power. They were able to score a lot on the best defensive team in the NBA (Spurs), but they wont be able to light it up on Detroit. Plus, Detroit has more than enough depth in scoring to win it in 4 or maybe 5 games if LA is lucky. This is not a typical NBA Finals, where A-Division winner vs B-Division winner, A always beats B. Instead this year the so-called B-division team will step up. Last edited by The CyNick; 06-16-2004 at 04:52 PM. |

First of all John La Rock needs to learn how to type in english.
Second of all, I think the Pistons have the ability to upset, but that doesn't mean they will. Everybody needs to quit talking about "shutting down" players, Shaq will not be shut down, Kobe will not be shut down, simple as that. If they want to win they have to play good team defense. What sets the Lakers above every other team is their role players. Sure Kobe and Shaq are amazing, but without Rush they would be in a game seven, if it wasn't for Derek Fisher they may never have made it out of round 2. Kobe and Shaq are going to come up big every night, guys like Fisher, George, Rush, Medvedenko, Fox etc. are not stars in the league, and a big reason guys are not stars is because they are not consistant, put a damper on those five guys and the Lakers main advantage is gone. Then you have to worry about their big threats. |

"Post Edited Today" ![]() Awesome. Anyway, I love it. Not only was I proven wrong, but I was given my wish as well. Ugly, ugly games at Staples center. I bet Jack had to go out and fuck five anorexic teenagers just to wash the taste out of his mouth. |

I actually picked Yes in the poll.
I bet if it would have been public, there would have been 3 or so people that picked yes. ![]() |
