NBA Finals 2004

Lakers finished off the T-Wolves tonight to claim their spot in the Finals. So who's it gonna be that makes it there to face em? Detroit or Indiana. Detroit is up in the series and I like their chances to move on. What do ya'll think.....?

If the Pacers move on they will have homecourt advantage for the Finals, but if the Pistons move on, it's the Lakers who will claim it.

My fingers are crossed for the Pacers - but who knows - Lakers will take the finals anyways haha.

Too bad, I didn't want to see the Lake-show go to the finals, even though I love GP (I'm a long time sonic fan).

I'm calling Detroit to finish the Pacers off tomorrow. As far as my NBA finals prediction goes, you heard it here first! DETROIT 2004 NBA CHAMPIONS! Finals MVP? D-D-D-D-DARKO!

Haha, Ok, now that we've all had a good laugh.. I hate the Lakers.

Darko! Haha, that was a good laugh. Pretty much impossible. Now the Detroit 2004 champs thing, although hard to imagine isn't totally impossible. They have the big men, or at least one stud big man to mess with Shaq, But who is gonna stop Kobe? Who's their defensive specialist. I'm familiar with the names on the team, but not all the roles. Big Ben is a beast on D, but who do they use to shut down opposing 2 guards?

mad props too rush, all i can say. oh, that and bye bye wolves. that is what you get for beating the kings.

Most likely, I could see Detroit using Tayshaun Prince on Kobe. He's more or less there defensive specialist on the wings. He has long arms and has great timing. I don't think Rip is going to be able stop Kobe, but putting Tayshaun on him would be a great idea.

Unfortunately, I don't think they have anyone who can stop Shaq, not even Big Ben. Get out the brooms because it will be Lakers in 4.

I hadn't even thought about Prince, that is a good option for em, especially like you said with his LONG arms.
I don't know about a sweep though. Shoot, we still gotta see if the Pistons finish off the Pacers!

keep talking this way, bc when david beard called the kings out of the playoffs too early they pulled through... and id like to see the pacers do the same.

Big shout out to the Pistons. I never thought they would be able to hang with the Lakers, but I was wrong.

It seems like the Lakers are more talented, but the Pistons are a better team.

It was great to see Darko get in the game yesterday! I called it! FINALS MVP: DARK MILICIC!

GO PISTONS, who ever thought we would win. Contrary to what Kimmel said, we did not burn down our city.

Thank god the Lakers lost.

screw the pistons.

Wow, apparently I was right. . . and I didn't even have to call Cleo.

Well half right anyways.. Apparently there is no love for Darko.

That was crazy. Karl's injury hurt em a lot on defense, but even he couldn't have added enough to make it a series. i don't know what was wrong with the lakers. Played like they were that other team from los angeles.

Yeah, no doubt. I really didn't think that the Pistons had it in them, but I was wrong. Like I said before, it just seemed like the Lakers were the better talent, but the Pistons were the better team. It says a lot about Larry Brown.. I'm not exactly sure what it says about Phil Jackson.

I was extremely impressed with Detroit's starting 5. Tayshaun Prince played amazing on Kobe. I think he should have been MVP, although Chauncey definitely deserved it too.
