Man, what a great defensive game by the Pistons! NJ only scores 56 points, a eastern conference all-time playoff low. The Pistons have size at every matchup on the floor. That being said, I still think NJ has a chance in this series, I think this is going seven games.
that was the most exciting low scoring game ive ever seen, the kings and mavs make the game fun with their offense, the pistons with their defense
Thats what the Pistons are all about, THE 'D'!
Pistons were down big early, but rally to win and take a 2-0 series lead. Ben Wallace is a beast!
Interesting question: If you could pick seven players that right now change the game more than anybody else, who are they?
Duncan
Garnett
Wallace
Bryant
Kidd
O'neal (both)
I think I would have to go with Jason Kidd because he is the leader of the fast break, some teams can barely get back in transition! Like Dallas. :laugh:
Nets win big in Game 3, like I said earlier the Nets will not go down without a fight.
the nets had better not mess up the chance of a pistons pacers series
I think the Nets can still win this series, and a Nets-Pacers would still be a great series.
No, I think that Pistons vs Pacers is better because, the Pistons have the sort of run and gun on offense and Pacers have the defensive type of game. So it would be an Offense vs defense type of game.

I wouldn't call the Pistons offense run and gun. The Nets, on the other hand, are run and gun. So if you want that kind of matchup my friend, I would root for the Nets, which dominated Game 4 to even the series at 2 apiece.
pistons win, game 7, im calling a pistons win
I'm rooting for NJ, but if the Pistons play their best they will win.
I hope the Pistons can pull this one out in Game 7. The Palace will be rocking and that should help keep the players motivated.
Regardless of who wins Game 7, IMO this has been one of the best NBA Playoff Series in a long time. Game 5 was unbelievable and going into Game 7 nobody has a clue which NJ or which Detroit team is going to come out and play.
If Detroit keeps the turnovers down and can shoot good from the field they will win. If the NJ defensive pressure gets to them and they turnover the ball, the Nets will win. No one is going to beat NJ in a fastbreak style game, but NJ is not going to beat Detroit in a half-court style game.
Wow, the Nets really blew it. Game Six in your house, all the momentum of the series on your side, how can you possibly lose? Well, gotta tip your cap to Detroit. I didn't think they'd show up after that tough loss in Game Five.
