Jalen45 congrats on your team forcing game 7! They played very well on road tonight and you should be proud of them. They always play hard. I was surprised by their 3pt shooting. Detroit def. deserved the win tonight. But can they repeat the 3pt shooting performance? If so, will that be enough to beat Spurs? It almost wasn't enough tonight.
The difference maker was 3pt shooting. Spurs shot 3 more trey yet made the same # as Pistons. That is not going to happen again in game 7. Despite that happening, Spurs competed and stayed in game. Good news for Spurs. Pistons made 8 3pt shots tonight vs making 8 3pt shots in first 5 games.
Ginobili missing open treys was bummer. B. Barry a sharp shooter shot 30% shooting 3-10. Duncan not making free throws. Go up and down Pistons squad and they shot good %. I don't see a repeat of that in game 7, but if we do, Spurs still easily can win. But glad Spurs competed tonight despite playing average basketball.
I thought Spurs had no advantage with officiating at home in game 6 but not saying officiating was bad. But I do want to know why the officials let Detroit WHACK Nazr Muhammad in the arm when he is under basket and Nazr air balled it. I guess refs think Nazr throws up air balls under the basket because no piston player touched ball. That could have made difference maker. Nazr was clearly fouled twice tonight under basket and no calls. ???? That was not necessary. I also saw 2 fouls called against Spurs on RIP that were questionable that resulted in 4pts for Pistons. Ginobili wasn't getting any calls but did he deserve any? Too hard to judge since he does initiate contact majority of the time. But wasn't this a Spurs home game? I see Detroit getting more breaks at home in 3 games each court vs Spurs.
Congrats to Pistons and but I think Spurs win by double digits in game 7. Expect Spurs to shoot much better behind the arc and expect Pistons to shoot normal average behind arc. Duncan will play flawless as he has yet to truly have monster game in this series. I think it happens in game 7. I thought Duncan had more intensity tonight and fought for position better than he has showed in this series. He will be stronger on thur. Barry will shoot 3-5 in game 7 (not 3-10) and make 2-3 treys. Bank on that as well!

They won by 9 and had the lead 85% of the game.. What game were you watching????
Yeah except they call a foul almost every time Gino leaves his feet and HE bumps into the guy and gets the foul called.
He will be stronger on thur. Barry will shoot 3-5 in game 7 (not 3-10) and make 2-3 treys. Bank on that as well!

THIS GAME WAS CLOSE THROUGHOUT and Pistons 3pt shooting (spurs lack of 3pt shooting) kept them in game. Despite that, Spurs easily could have won game tonight. Rasheed Wallace was a monster at end of 4th and did great job. Props to him. If I had to pick a moment in game where I think Spurs could have won game was in 2h I think late 3q, Spurs up by 3pts and Ginobili missed wide open trey and Pistons took ball down and score 2pts. Spurs would have gone up by 6, crowd crazy, pressure on Pistons, and Pistons call timeout. Big miss by Ginobili. I was shocked how many missed open 3pt shots Ginobili missed and Brent Barry shooting 3-10. Doubt very much that happens in game 7 along with Pistons shooting so great behind arc. 2nd big game changer was end of 4th and Pistons got 2 offensive rebounds and Wallace then nailed 3pt shot. BRUTAL!
MVP was Rasheed Wallace. I think Pistons lose or game goes 50/50 if Rasheed didn't make all those baskets. Missed just 1 I think Spurs might have pulled it out, miss 2 Spurs prob. win it, miss all 3 Spurs I think def. win it. Wallace was money!

Don't need too. I win 12k profit Spurs champs or win 7k profit Pistons champs. I am set and enough difference in profit on Spurs to root for and get me excited! But I think Spurs win double digits and jump on Pistons in 1q. Spurs didn't do that tonight. My biggest reason I am so confident with Spurs is I am willing to bet Pistons shoot worse behind arc and Spurs shoot better in game 7. I have a lot of "data" supporting that argument but of course Pistons could shoot even better in game 7.
I may be wrong but I watched whole game and I dont think Spurs were ever up by 4 or more.........I thought Pistons were ahead from 1-5 points most of the game
Nevertheless Spurs never did get a large lead.......
