I do, truly, believe that the Pistons will win, if only for the fact that they are a great TEAM! The Lakers have a fantastic starting lineup, but are they a good TEAM? Do they have the withall to not "pout" when the chips are down? Or will they rely on dumb last minute decisions and continue to play as if they are not going against a team that actually IS trying to win this? (Did anyone see the little boy who had the sign saying "I see Kobe and Shaq, but where are the Lakers?"...That cracked me up...)
I'd also like to add: Did anyone notice how the comments changed after Game 3 or even after Game 2? At first, it was like, "Well, it'll be fun to watch the Lakers sweep",
then it was "Hmmm, maybe the Pistons have a chance" or something along the lines of what the Lakers did WRONG versus what the Pistons were doing right! After Game 2, when it seemed that the Pistons weren't going to let it go without a fight (except for the OT---What happened?
), THEN folks started to say it was for damn sure the Pistons were going to win Game 3 and we all know the rest....
To be honest, I fault the Lakers! Did they think that the Pistons won the Eastern Conference by fluke? Or that they were chumps? Hahahahaha on them. If they keep thinking like that, they might end up looking like they did last year!
