Spurs hold em under 100 again, close out the series

here's an interesting fact i read

"With Phoenix out, the highest-scoring team will not win the title for the 49th time in the NBA's 59 seasons"

get a clue. defense wins the games that count. that's why we got our @$$es whooped in the olympics. the focus needs to be put on stressing the importance of defense to this & the next generation of ballers. the days of simply outscoring everyone with all your firepower isn't gonna get it done anymore.

yea i admit i don't like the idea of it either... low scoring doesn't really make for entertaining games, but that's a sacrifice i'm sure everyone would make to see their team win championships

Pistons hold the Heat to 88.

problem was they only scored 76



R.I.P. George Mikan, the league's first true dominant big man. He died today at the age of 80

Heat only had 45 after 3, Pistons tie up the series. game 7 monday

A 42-year-old man was arrested during the first half after a bomb threat was called in. Police said new security measures implemented after similar incidents earlier in the season were instrumental in identifying the suspect, who was arrested after being interviewed by the FBI and the Auburn Hills police department.

What happened to Detroit in the second half?
I knew I should'a gone with the favorite!

[vinsanity]

no one besides Billups was scoring

only score 84, win by 15. like i said not pretty, but i'd take that any time

oh yea and wtf does the song 'Switch' have ANYTHING to do with the NBA? other than the Will Smith/Robert Horry thing. i swear ABC uses the most non-relative promotional songs in their broadcasts. ABC needs to buy the rights to the NBA on NBC song. yea it's by John Tesh but it's still one of the best sports themes ever

[G-man]

Too funny! Yeah, they're usually good about this... (in general... dunno' about ABC in particular) although, I wasn't so sure about that song they were playing tonight either... okay, Pistons let's put the 'D' back in Detroit already!

[vinsanity]

'Speed of Sound'- comparing to the speed of the guards I guess. but still the song is too mellow, they should be using songs to get u pumped up

Ben Wallace said something about there's no way Duncan will outscore & rebound him AND Rasheed combined in game 2. TD- 18 pts 11 rebs, the Wallaces- 20 pts 16 rebs. it's a bad sign when one of your stars says it's gonna take 2 people to offset another player

[G-man]

Looks like Detroit was well in control last I noticed... up 11 after 3 consecutive steals looked like San Antonio just shut down all of a sudden...
