June 7, 200422 yr Great game, great strategy by the Pistons. The thing I was impressed about this game was of course, the Pistons defense. The Lakers were out of whack from the beginning, even though Shaq and Kobe got their points.
June 7, 200422 yr Author I have a question...where is Stephen A. Smith? He has ripped the Pistons like no other leading up to the finals but now he is no where to be seen.....
June 7, 200422 yr stephen a smith is one of the worst 'journalists' around. i hate him and cant stand anything about him. he yells like an idiot and cant even sound inteligent on tv. why he cant use his indoor voice and talk in english is beyond me.

I actually like him and his no B.S approach. I just wish he would back himself up right now.

June 7, 200422 yr In Game 1 I saw alot of turnovers by the Pistons, second chance shots for the Lakers, and lack of ability to close out on the defensive end by Detroit. This is going to lead to one of two things: The Lakers adjusting and abusing this weakness until they notch up four wins, OR The Pistons closing up these mistakes and completely shutting the Lakers down. I'm hoping for the latter.
June 7, 200422 yr that was a great win for Detroit. I said before the series that Detroit would steal one of the first two games & make a series of it. I still don't think they'll win but I'm rooting like hell for them. I hate the Lakers with a passion. I think Detroit matches up pretty well actually. Even though they're not a high-scoring team, they have plenty of players who CAN score, and they all play very good defense. I like Elden Campbell in the game too, always thought he was an underrated player. He's always been too soft, but can still body up Shaq a little and add some offense when needed.
June 7, 200422 yr Well the Pistons couldn't shut down Shaq and Koby but they did a great job of shuting down the rest of the Lakers. Great game for the Pistons! 3 wins away!

June 9, 200422 yr Author Nice opening few minutes by the Pistons. Weathering the Lakers emotion and early defensive pressure. 9-8 L.A
June 9, 200422 yr Author End of the 1st... L.A 18 DET 16 Pistons played like crap and are within a field goal.
June 9, 200422 yr It's amazing how the Pistons play and they still remain in the game. The shooting is horrendous.
June 9, 200422 yr Author It's amazing how the Pistons play and they still remain in the game. The shooting is horrendous. Thanks for joining the thread it was getting a bit lonely in here.... When the Marlins game ends hopefully others will join... As for the Pistons they should be glad that they can play this poorly and still be in, that shows just how vulnerable the Lake Show is right now. DET 22 L.A 21
June 9, 200422 yr I seriously don't think the Lakers match up well against this defense. But, though they play bad, the media and the Lakers keep saying "we have no emotion" or "we didn't bring our A game." I hate the arrogance.
June 9, 200422 yr Author Lakers making a big push.... LUKE WALTON 5 ASSISTS?????!!!!!! How can the Pistons not stop that guy....?
