NBA Finals Game 5

[laoulaou]

Game 5 of the NBA finals today and Detroit is looking to take full advantage of their home court for the third straight game! The Pistons with their suffocating defense, proved why they are the NBA defending champions! Detroit had only 3 turnovers in game 4 while stealing the ball 13 times away from their opponent. San Antonio’s bench got outscored by 14, the rest is history, the Pistons blew the game wide open and won emphatically by 21! If you think San Antonio will show up with a different face Sunday night think again, They’ve played 3 times at the Palace and have lost all 3 of them. Detroit won’t let a chance like this slip away. They will win game 5 at home and show to everybody to NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE HEART OF THE CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!!! Take the Defending Champions -3

Re: NBA Finals Game 5 Remember the spurs won in 2003 with the same team so i guess they have the heart of a champion too. ;) It's very difficult to win games 3-5 in the finals at home - generally can't remember any team doing it since i started watching the finals in the early 90's - chicago 91 springs to mind and that's it?? (sure someone must know for sure!)- but when you have won the last 2 games by an average of 24 i don't understand why the line is still -3 - so definetley will take the pistons in this one. Be interesting to see what price the series if pistons win tonight - they are 2.60 at Betfair - this should not change as the spurs will be 4-6 point favs in game 6/7 - but you know it will be plummet if they win tonight - still a big price for a team that looks solid at home - and then will be up for it on the road.
