As much as I am a Lakers fan, i don't see this team winning the championship. I predict Pistons in 6 or 7.

first laker fan i know whos not in denial :D

game 3 tonight at 6:00PM (PST) 9:00PM (EST) on ESPN

GO PISTONS!

Even though Philadelphia fans hate Larry Brown with a passion there are certain levels of hate. The hate for all the L.A. Lakers stand for, especially the cockyness Kobe Bryant and Shaq's gay camping under the net style of play, takes precidence over the Larry Brown hate. Thefore I am rooting for the Pistons beyond belief to beat LA, because I cannot stand to see the Lakers win it again. After the finals are over the hating of Larry Brown can commence once again, but for these seven games I am standing behind the Pistons. Best sign I saw in the crowd tonight after the Lakers got served: "There is not going to be a happy Hollywood ending this time." :D

LOL i love the creativity of Piston fans and thier posters (Y)

There was another one I noticed. It said "Our full house beats your two of a kind." It had pictures on cards and the front five of the Pistons were one hand, being the full house, and then it had Shaq and Kobe's picture as the other hand, them being the two of a kind. Detroit seriously had an awesome basketball crowd, something you did not see in the first two games at LA because only stars who claim to be life long Laker fans with their newly purchased Laker hats with the price tags still attached and uncreased brims are the only ones who show up to the Laker games.

your vision is hazy.. game 5 is in LA

game 5 is in detriot

the final is in the format of 2 - 3 - 2

but no team has ever won 3 in a row at home in the finals yet. I think the laker will at least get one game from their road trip.

i think detroit is going to take the remaining 3 games, i saw yesterday that teams who have had a 1 - 1 tie, the winner of game 3 wins the championship, statistics showed that 27 out of 31 (or 33) the number of times the winner of game 3 went on to win the championship

It's not that the Lakers were bad, it's just that the Pistons were very good. ;)

The Lakers officially got their asses handed to them.

nah, you dont even know. the lakers had a 36% field goal percentage, they were horrible. i think we're also not giving credit to how hard the wallace guys were locking shaq up, allowing him to only shoot 14 field goals. amazing defense... detroit what

Well, they didn't even get to shoot much what with Detroit's defense and constant steals. Kobe didn't seem to be doing any worse then normal.
