just wondering who everyone thinks is going to come out on top of this thing, a week ago i would have said the Spurs, but i think the Pistons have taken the series over, and if they win sunday, they might be able to take it in 6

i was getting interested in basketball 6-8 years ago, even went to a few Raptors games until i seen what the bums get paid. if it wasn't for basketball where would these guys be working?

:lol: i know what you mean

I think the Pistons will win all of their home games and take it in 7. This is my guess of how it will go:
Pistons win game 5, take a 3-2 lead
Spurs win game 6, tied 3-3
Pistons win game 7, win championship

I think you could be right.. It's shaping up to be a good series.. I think Detroit is on a mission now. They have the momentum for sure. It's not going to be easy going back to the Spurs court and winning there but IF Detroit can win tonight at home I think they will have it. For my boys sake, I hope they do because they are really into the basketball thing and love the Pistons.

Yeah Paul, I agree ,but these guys get paid to do what they love.. How nice is that?? Just look at Morgan and Tucker and those guys.. They are getting paid to ride sleds.. :bash: :bash:

i hope you guys are right it is my feeling also, i would really like to see them take it in game 6, and not allow any momentum by the
Spurs at all :thumbsup:

^^^^^
I would like to see the Pistons take it in 6 also but I think the Spurs still have one win left in them. my .02

yes morgan and hibbert are getting paid. not $20,000,000.00 a year though and i bet they could get an intelligent job if it were not for sled racing unlike most of the nba players.

I couldn&#39;t do what they do. Also I wouldn&#39;t do what some others do that make that kind of money.

The only way you can keep there pockets in check is by doing what you are doing, if you don&#39;t give them your $ then they can&#39;t put it in their pockets. All that the NHL players are doing is shooting themselves in the foot, if nobody comes then all the negotiations are a moot point.

Pistons in 7! (but I won&#39;t watch it, I am with Paul on the salary)

I&#39;m not disputing that they are overpaid.. Just like I believe NFL players are overpaid and baseball players ect... These men have it goin on.. and they know it !! I would be doing it too if I could, but at the same time, most of these guys did get where they are from going to college so I would hope they could find a meaningful job if the NBA were not around.

:bash: :lookaround: damn maybe next year :thumbsup:

I voted for the Spurs. What, I win!! Cool!!
LOL

Yes, they are overpaid, but what sport fiqures aren&#39;t?
Hope the hockey players get what they deserve, a crappy deal.
