Lakers. The Pistons are great defenders. But the Lakers have the XXX factor, the megacentre.

I'm going with the Pistons. I think the Lakers have won enough. Let someone else have the glory:)

Lakers in 6, possibly 5.

I agree.

hijack: Dennis Rodman was on The View this AM. He says he will return to the NBA next year. He will make his announcement as to which team he will play for around July 16th. :o

lakers... i just like the name better. pistons are car parts, not a sports team

PISTONS!!!

And it's not because I'm a Detroit native!!! :D

I can't believe that there is any question - - LAKERS all the way!!!

Don't like the Lakers, love their coach.

Lakers in seven.

I'm a big-time hater and I have to say...the Lakers.

Everyone knows the Western Conference is superior to the East. WHOEVER came out of the West would beat up on the Eastern winner like they stole their lunch money.

DETROIT IN DA HOUSE!!!!
 

PISTONS BIG BABY!!!

Representing Detroit Michigan to the fullest!! The Bad Boys are Back!!!

PISTONS!!!!

The LakeShow, The LakeShow...

As long as they don't get 3 fouls in the first half and foul out their players before the game is over...

Lakers!

No Ring for Karl and Gary This Year!
 

The Lakers won't know how to handle Detroit's defense. Detroit hasn't done to bad on thier west coast trips. I guarantee the Pistons in 6.


GO PISTONS!!!!

PISTONS!

If Detroit can win one of the first 2 games, it will be the Pistons in 6 games (you heard it here first)

PISTONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who are the Pistons?

Lakers purple and gold

DPhiE purple and gold

Coincidence? I don't think so!!

PISTONS WON GAME 1, BABY!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Go head, it's ya birthday, get busy...

1 Down, 3 to go...

ETA: I know y'all thinking "wait, ain't she in L.A."...and my reply is "AND?!" :rolleyes: :p That does not mean that I have to like those cocky-acting so-and-sos.

YAY PISTONS!!!!!!! WHOO-HOO!!! :D

Go Detroit!!!!! Its been a long time coming for Detroit. I will be happy for either team because Malone will finally have a ring but anyway......Go Detroit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

DETROIT WHAT!!!

The spirit of Detroit is alive and well!! Ya'll betta recognize!! In the words of Rasheed Wallace..."We aint scared over here... Ain't no punks over here" BRING IT!!

SAY WHAT?
 

I was "t" totally shocked when I turned the TV to see the PISTONS were winning...IN LA during the final seconds! :o Ohhhhhhhhh LAWD! This is going to be a GREAT series. :D

I was so proud of the way my Pistons played last night. With the expection of a few easy shots they missed, I felt they were very poised and played really comfortable. I can't wait until they come home to the Palace.

A sistah tried to get tickets but they were sold out in 6 mins.

Reasons I am picking the Pistons

1. Kwame Kilpatrick is Mayor of Detroit( Gotta Support Frat)

2. Defenese, Defense, Defense

3. I can't stand the Lakers right now lol. I feel like 25% of Laker fans are Bull fans from the 90s.

I'm NOT a Bulls fan from the 1990s. I'm a native SoCal.

Meanwhile, I hope that the rest of the team comes to play for the rest of this series. You saw that Shaq, the megacentre, is the XXX factor and the Wallaces can't do s*** against him. But the other members of the Lakers must step up their game.

Whoop! There it is. Pistons in the house.

Bad Boys 2 in effect. We aint never scared!


:p

Somebody say it with me....
 

DETROITTTTTTTTTTTT BASKETBALLLLLLL!!!!! :D :D :D :p

Detroit is good and is putting some serious "D-fense" on the Lakers' azz, but IMO, LA is crumbling from the inside out. At least we can end all the asinine Kobe/MJ comparisons now. MJ learned how and when to sublimate his ego for the good of the team. Kobe clearly doesn't.

Shaq, with his heavy, out-of-shape, hooked-on-phonics free-throw shootin' self, is STILL the game's biggest force-- you saw that in the 1st quarter of G4, when he was ganstering baskets like he was Al Capone. Detroit has NO ANSWER, NONE. Why this team, KB, in particular doesn't realize that and consistently feed the guy is beyond me.

It looks like LA will fumble away this title, and Detroit is there to fall on the ball. Enjoy it D-town, and let's see if you can back it up next year. But Shaq-KB's lil season-long cat-fight destroyed this team long before Detroit had anytyhing to do with it.

(as for abaici and 1savvydiva, yall is doing some major-league hating right up in through here.....please stop.)

In the words of that great sage, B-Rad,"Ain't nobody hatin'"

Beware, more Kobe bashing ahead...

Kobe's selfishness has always been an issue. At least for the past three-four years. I mean, his quest for a record (the 30-pint games) cost the Lakers a place in the Finals last year. I mean, he's always making comments in the press. He's a little punk! Kobe has problems following and passing the ball. The Lakers didn't have a chance because he realized too late (and still did it inconsistently) that he needed to pass the ball. But, then again, he's the only one who consistently makes shots. So, here I feel his pain a little bit. The Lakers have to pray that George, Fox, Fish, or *insert player here* shows up!


Gooooo Pistons! The Pistons are the true KobeStoppers (sorry Patterson).

I agree with you on the above points, re: about how the LA Team is "crumbling inside and out", esp. w/ that "previous" feud b/w Shaq and Kobe. My problem with the team now is that while we know everyone wants to end their career w/ a ring, the Lakers have too many Chiefs on thier team (Shaq, Kobe, and now Gary and Karl Malone :rolleyes: )...it won't end pretty (as evidenced by Phil Jackson's being cornered about it last night). Also, I don't think the Lakers are losing simply b/ of their "fumbling"--Detriot has broken down their defense. PERYID :D

The Lakers think they are the isht (and many of their fans are obnoxious--I'll bet they were planning their victory celebration after the Lakers' Game 2 win :mad: )...that's what will cost them in the end...

And I'm not hatin'...just being honest :)

ETA: Steeltrap, no you're not included in the "obnoxious Lakers Fans (i.e. many of whom are old Bulls fans from the MJ Era) category". :cool:

Cavs Fan here.

I'm just enjoying every minute of it. can't wait for the finale tomorrow night. :D

Will Phil retire? Or will he get "tha boot". I loves me some Phil Jackson. ( I think he has some of "us" in him :o)

Will Kobe leave? Who will have him? or will he be in jail? Dennis Rodman predicted that he will not get a conviction and will pay damages from a civil suit. :confused:

Will Gary and Karl retire? If the Pistons win; it must be meant for these to to NOT have championship rings...THEREFORE, SYTNRHADS....B! :p

:D

I deciphered it. LOL!!! You are nuts!!

Is Phil still uhm, "working out" with Jeanne Buss, the owners daughter? :p How you gon negotiate with the dad by day then err, "negotiate" with his daughter by night? You right, AKA2D, that is some stuh we would do! But I still can't picture Phil with dukie braids?!?

Kobe? dude apparently has to learn the hard way ... go score 40+ a night but get your azz handed to you on a nightly...that is assuming he doesn't wind up in the Colorado penal system.

ok, I didn't/couldn't go to Spelman like abaici :p so what is SYTNRHADS...B!?
