I'm a little bleary-eyed after staying up to watch that Game 5 last night. Finally, a close game after the first 4 games had an average margin of victory of 21 points.
Horry was wide open, but Ginobli made a great pass getting Horry the ball. Horry was nails last night. Gonna be tough for Detroit to win 2 on the road, but if anyone can, it's the defending champs.
I don't remember whether it was Billups or Hamilton taking Detroit's last shot, but whoever it was clearly should have been called for an offensive foul. They laid in elbow right to Parker's face and nothing was called.
Based upon his horrific postseason FT shooting, I'd be putting Duncan on the charity stripe a lot in Game 6 if I was Larry Brown.

Originally posted by DonMichaelCorleone: I can honestly say I find the GAMES exciting, but to me it doesn't seem like a "series" and definitly not the Championship series. It could just be me. To me, only the 5th & 6th games have been exciting. The others were rather dull & quite lobsided. History ain't on the Pistons side. The home team is 12-3 in Game 7's. SA is 38-3 at home this year and has not lost 2 games in a row at home. What I was surprised to learn is that this is the first Finals Game 7 since 94: Knicks-Rockets. Hopefully it will be a good, close game. I doubt SA will shoot as poorly as they did in Game 6. I picked SA to win and will stick with them, but really don't have a rooting interest in either team. At least the Larry Brown soap opera will be nearing its end after tonight.

i love darko's face in that picture of the pistons. everyone else is showing their disappointment over losing a hard fought series and he looks like he couldn't give a shit.

Let's go champs! irishman, i'm assuming from this quote that you're at least a little bit of a pistons fan. isn't it frustrating how rasheed plays? he dominated in the fourth quarter from the block when he would post up duncan. his turnaround is almost unstoppable with his wingspan, but he only unleashes it when he absolutely has to. i'm a fan of neither team, and my heart was with the spurs in this series, but despite that, it was still frustrating for me to watch him become so passive when he could have dominated in stretches like he did for part of the 4th last night. if he can play like that against duncan, there's no excuse he shouldn't put 30 a game consistently during the regular season against other team's inferior power forwards. if only he would just be rasheed instead of raweed.
