officeglenn Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Yep and my predictions tommorow they will come. Channeling Yoda there, Tank? With my Mavs out, now I gotta figure we're gonna see the final that most people have wanted to see since Day One ? Suns vs. Heat. I don't think either Miami or Phoenix will have a cake walk to the Finals, but they'll get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Red Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Spurs/Pistons in one of the least watchable Finals ever. For the casual fan, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Spurs/Pistons in one of the least watchable Finals ever. For the casual fan, anyway. Unfortunately, id have to agree. Although the Pistons are sometimes not a bad team to watch, especially when playing the Pacers, I compare watching the Spurs play to a slow painful death On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: Sheβs still half convinced βChris Creamerβ is a porn site.)

Cujo Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 I'm sticking with Heat vs Spurs in the finals.Miami over Detroit in 5San Antonio over Phoenix in 6Just curious, how soon until America West Arena (merged with US Air) gets renamed? Maybe during the upcoming series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted May 21, 2005 Author Share Posted May 21, 2005 Who knows, I know that when the merger between Bank One and (can't quite figure out the name of the other company at the moment) merged they were going to name it another name, but since the BOB is a very popular name, they decided to keep it the Bank One Ballpark. So who knows for the America West Arena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJMorris3 Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 DirtyCurty, you give the Pistons too much credit.Heat in 4, Suns in 7, then Heat in 4 for the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Wow. Some major disrespect for the defending Champions. I think you're both giving the Heat entirely too much credit -- Wade won't put up any insane numbers against a team with a shred of... well, you know... defense. Add to that the Pistons don't have to double team Shaq -- Dwayne Wade or Damon Jones won't get many open looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 I honestly think the Miami/Detroit series will be determined the same way as the Finals were determined last year. If the Pistons can come out and completely shut down Shaq and Wade in Game 1, then we'll probably see Detroit win in maybe 5 games or so. But I like Miami in this matchup seeing how Wade has been red hot, how they rolled over Washington in 4 games, minus Shaq in the two road wins and how they have home court advantage in the series.Either way, this will be a quick series, it just depends on if the Pistons D can stop Miami, but I just don't see it happening.

TFoA Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 DirtyCurty, you give the Pistons too much credit.Heat in 4, Suns in 7, then Heat in 4 for the title. Talk about giving someone too much credit... Keep in mind that not only are the Pistons the defending champs, they also have the best of something that you need to win championships... Shaq? No. Homecourt? No. You need DEFENSE and the Pistons have the best of that. And that's why I pick them in six.I pick the Suns in 7, because idk about Tim Duncan being 100% and all. And in the finals, I'd take the Pistons in 6. Β Β Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to Contradiction City. Have you seen the Suns play defense?? Duncan has been playing pretty well - if not 100%, he's close to it. Heat in 6.Spurs in 5. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Β Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright, time to explain that...I'm basing that pick on the fact that the Suns ran train on the Spurs this year, when they had Steve Nash. And normally I'd take the defensive team over the offensive juggernaut, but they're too damn good, the Suns are. Now the Heat, on the other hand, they ain't no Suns, and that's why Detroit will have their way with them IMO. Β Β Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
