Ginobili was pretty damned good. Not the Spurs, but Ginobili.
Well wait, that isn't fair, the Spurs are awesome at feeding Ginobili the ball.
Pistons fell apart in the second half. Sad. If they can play a whole game like they played the first quarter last night, it'll be a sight to see.

In other news, Phil Jackson is back with the Lakers. Now they might be above .500 next year. Not by much, though.

phil jackson is EXTREMELY overrated and this coming season will show that. There may be playoff games at the staples center next june, but the lakers wont be playing in them. The Lakers will miss the playoffs again, and to add insult to injury, the clippers will make the playoffs.

On a side note, interesting bit of news at the Palace.
A man had a heart attack in the stands, and a doctor from four sections over trampled over people to get to him, found him with no pulse and not breathing, gave him CPR with the help of his childhood doctor who happened to be there, and four minutes later the man started breathing.

and now Phil's saying he's signing back on. Ohhh.... the drama!
(for the non-LA hatrack denizens, LA folks, in general, are inundated daily with the latest greatest breaking news about the coaching of the Lakers... ad nauseum)

We broke the Spurs' record of not letting an opposing team score more than 90 points in a finals game. They had a 13 game streak until now.

Does home court advantage really make that much of a difference? I mean come on, this is the NBA Finals. Each team should be able to win on the road at this level.

I highly doubt the Pistons will lose Sunday. It will come down to whether they can win on the road or not, which I think they proved in Miami that they can in fact do.
It'll just depend on what game they bring with them.

If the Pistons play like they did last night when they get back to San Antonio, at the very least it will be a fight, if not another rout.

I'd say it was a combination of the two. Pistons played good defense last night and forced a lot of the turnovers that killed the Spurs.

And now the question isn't can they do what only three teams did over the season... It's can they do it twice.

Psh, if Phoenix hadn't had to rely on its bench when JJ broke an eye-socket, it would have been a different series. And a much more fun one.

You guys said the same thing going into Game 3 and look what happened?
The game last night was close, a single move either way could have tipped the balance. You're in for a fight Tuesday night.

Had the Spurs lost last night, I'm betting Duncan would haven taken a lot of the blame. He played horribly.

I blame R.Wallace for a lot of that loss in game 5. I'm not fond of the guy, he takes a lot of stupid shots, and can't play defense for the most part. He also is not the brightest crayon in the box. And I agree with what Lyrhawn said about Duncan, he was like 15% with free throws, maybe even less.
And considering the officials were trying to gift wrap that game for San Antonio, I call that a sweet fricken victory.
San Antonio- Too bad you had to cancel your little parade. Maybe next time you'll wait until you actually win before planning the party.
