    There is no way the Pistons will beat the Spurs. The Spurs are playing their best ball I have ever seen. Especially Tony Parker - he would always disappear in games late in a series, but not this time. Spurs over Pistons in 6.

    Pop > Flip
    Spurs > Pistons

    This is the best Spurs team in last 10 years. No doubt.

    Completely agree. That's the difference I see in this Spurs team — their previous counterparts, even the three title winning teams, all had a tendency to struggle down the stretch for offense because of inexperience outside of Duncan. This year, Parker is taking a leadership role and delivering when it counts, and it really shows in the bigger games. He's consistently attacking. The Pistons are a good club, but ultimately I don't think they have enough offensive creators to beat the Spurs. That's where it cost them two years ago in Game 7.

    Go Jazz. This team is not like the ones with Malone and Stockton. I actually think Boozer is pretty cool and I admire how AK47 has bounced back.
    I freaking HATE Mr. Personality Duncan!!!! The Spurs are jerks and Horry is a punk.

    I hope the Jazz kill'em.....but they won't.

    This Finals are going to suck...the Spurs and Pistons...HOW EXCITING!!!!

    Maybe Lebron gets in...that would be cool.

    The Spurs will win this series, but, it is going to be very physical and may go seven, but I doubt it. Experience counts, and the Spurs have loads of playoff experience. I look for more fights and suspensions which could, once again, affect the outcome. Spurs in five. Boozer will not be able to dominate inside like he did against the Rockets and the Warriors.

    I dont think so. Both teams are physical but with good poise. San Antonio is a team that just play, so is the Utah Jazz. I expect physical games, hard fouls, a little conversations. That's all.

    My feelings exactly. These two teams - with the Mavericks are my most hated in the league. The Spurs are dirty now- the jazz are designed dirty.

    I hate the Spurs- but respect the "never say die" attitude they have in the stretch. Even when down - they persist. In the 5th game - I really thought the Suns had the win - and pure perserverance got the Spurs the win.

    I admire that "never say die" attitude

    Jazz are screwed for one primary reason: Boozer plays terrible defense.

    Jazz screw for another reason: they are turnover pronged.

    OMG...please tell me someone else heard JVG and Mark Jackson talking about the zone.

    Jeff: This is the most zone San Antonio has played the whole playoffs...
    Mark: It's the best way to disrupt the Jazz offense...

    Thanks Jeff. We could have used this info a little earlier.
