im slowly grinding to that school of thought also. . .the pistons. they really do have the goods to do it. they have the coaching, the size and talent. the fans also, they are not air headed they booed william hung. . .they could bang with LA, pacers style of play will do them in. they should have never let miami give them this much trouble. detroit will be like miami times 10 to them.
Ho hum, the Lakers win again...The Wolves are wounded and tired, the Kings crippled and the Spurs stopped playing after two games..
Give L.A. credit because they dug down and started playing defense the way they use to.
Shaq looks better than he has in 3 years...
Maybe Indy can steal game 1 and give everyone a glimmer of hope that the finals will not be so meaningless....doubtful!
Winkyduck was right...

that's so true. . .when larry brown went to war with them (LA) a few years back and had philly he had iverson, mutumbo and some decent role players. now he'd have a team with two very physical players in the two wallace's and even better role players with billups, prince and hamilton that can all score like iverson at given times and the athleticism and outside shooting of billups versus eric snow is a huge plus.
brown is a brainchild, just give him the toys to play with
jackson is a problem solver, just give him talent with problems to solve

One thing I have learned over the decades of NBA playoffs. There is a certain cause and effect. When the Lakers won swing game 5, the effects were Spurs were gone, Lakers were in. When the Lakers wrapped it up in #6, but the TWolfs took all 7, the effect was a emotionally drained and physically spent team, vs a well rested Laker squad. Now with the Lakers taking this tired team apart, it could again be a short series, very short if TWolfs drop Sunday's. Hard as it is to believe, the Lakers have covered 5 straight. So, if the Lakers win this quickly, game one was a key, and the later starting Easterners go 6 or 7, in what I predict is a very closely matched physical series, again, the rested Lakers will be waiting. TWolfs now fit the cliche, there is no rest for the weary...OF
