I totally agree. Every Spur player and Spurs fan is thinking about last year's Lakers series right now. The Spurs had all the answers a few days ago. Now they look like girl scouts, and instead of getting sex changes and becoming the men they should be, they only care about sitting on the bench with their "dear God, please make it stop" shitface looks and telling themselves under their breaths that Games 6 and 7 are in San Antonio.
Is there ANY DOUBT that this series is going back to SA with the Pistons up 3-2? What bitches the Spurs are.

I'm missing classic on air comments like this so I can see this **breaking weather coverage**. I'm sure none of you care because I'm the only one in this state watching basketball, but I just don't understand breaking news into live sports coverage. Isn't it obvious to anyone with half a brain that every other local station will also be cutting into their broadcasts of soap operas, sitcoms, or dancing with the stars. Just leave the sports alone, if I'm one of the 6 people in the panhandle of Oklahoma I'll change the station to find out about the non-tornadic 50 mph winds they might cause power to go out in some areas. Ok, I think I'm done with this topic.
Nope, they just told me possibly up to 2000 people have lost power...and the guy on the tv said that this is more important than the nba playoffs. jesus...

Detroit has been amazing tonight and the Spurs look dead. If they don't react fast I guess all we have left is to wait until Game 6 to see if playing at home will give them back some life and heart.

I'm at a loss for words. The Pistons are a great team, but this is not the Spurs team I know and they shouldn't get beat like this. I can only imagine what Pop will yell to them from the end of this game until Sunday.

This isn't the Spurs team you know? WTF?! This is EXACTLY the Spurs team that you know.
Typical Spurs teams are ones that look like worldbeaters one second and a bunch of hairy truckers the next. It's not uncommon for a Spurs team to disappear like this. It happened last year. It happened in the Robinson years. This isn't the last time it will happen either. Hell, in 2003 when the Spurs won the title it was because Speedy Claxton picked up Parker when he bitched out. Every series clinching game was a result of a monster comeback. The Lakers were a great team, but if you think the Spurs weren't allowing themselves to be mentally affected in those series when they were making it through every other like it was cake then I don't know what team you have been watching.
It's Duncan. It's Popovich. It's this "nice guy" mentality. Sure, it's great for PR, but it sucks when you need fire to will your team to victory. The Spurs don't have it, they've never had it, and .... wait for this.... next year they won't have it either. Spurs are a great team, but a dynasty in the making? FUCK NO.

Wake me up when the Spurs are completely dead. They're playing really bad, but so did the Pistons at SA and the Spurs still have homecourt. Nothing will be easy for either team.
As long as they find that "good guy" mentality that took them to two titles I could give a crap.

This is the Spurs team that outran the Suns. They scored over 100 points in every game, including the loss.
SA 121, Pho 114
SA 111, Pho 108
SA 102, Pho 92
Pho 111, SA 106
SA 101, Pho 95
However, when Detroit is playing well, its defense is just outstanding. They clog passing lanes, limit penetration, block shots, and get position -- basically the fundamentals (that the Spurs also possess). Spurs fans can say all they want that the Spurs aren't playing like they should be, but 95% of the credit needs to go to the Pistons.
That said, I stand by my Spurs in 6 prediction.

Don't get me wrong, the Spurs are not playing like they should, but I know the Pistons are the major reason for that. As I said in my first post tonight they have played fantastic at home, especially tonight.
I just think maybe going home the Spurs can make the role reversal once again, seeing as how the series has unfolded.
