GO PISTONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FEAR THE FRO!
Tonight could be the night Detroit clinches the title! I'm so glad I don't have to work so I can stay home at watch and not venture out into the chaos I'm sure will be coming my way since I live 5 minutes from the Palace.

GO PISTONS!!!
I will admit I am only and "Finals Fan" for any sports team in Detroit. I don't much like all the stuff that leads up to this moment. I am looking forward to the Pistons TEAM Winning tonight since they are playing like a TEAM and not the Shaq & Kobe show. Some say we don't have many big names, but I think that will change after tonight. I predicted (at the office) it would not be a sweep, but the Pistons in 5 or 6. I am glad it WILL be 5!! :sohappy: :sohappy:
However, I will admit that I never put down my team when they are playing bad. (Example: the Tigers [remember Baseball Team?? :brick:]) I will go to any game I get Free tickets to no matter how the team is doing and show my support. :wave:

The Pistons are going to take it tonight! So far, my predictions have been right on... I know they will not let themselves loose tonight when they can win tonight at home... and they are going to win it tonight... in that loud Palace called home!
Go Pistons!!!

Pistons win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2004 NBA Champs! Fear the Fro!
Sittin here 5 minutes from the Palace waiting for the chaos to head my way. I'm sure it will at some point too! I'm watching the local news broadcast of the celebration and in Royal Oak the crowd is insane. Completely packed with police on horseback trying to control it.

Hmmm.....I think the Lakers will be the same next season, except Malone will probably retire and Jackson will as well. Payton will probably stay, he'll make $5.5 million next year if he does, and I don't think he'll give up that offer. Kobe, well, he's another story. I've read reports that he may stay if Phil Jackson leaves. If he does consider leaving, I know his teammates will do a lot of convincing to get him back. I just can't see Kobe with another team. The man was meant to be a Laker.
Well, I'd just like to say good job Pistons. You earned that title.
Last night's game was a blowout....though IMO, the crowd didn't look "into it" in the third quarter (the only quarter I watched). I know all the Pistons fans and the people who hate the Lakers were saying our crowd wasn't energetic during the first two games in L.A., but they sure seemed more into it than Pistons fans last night at the Palace.
Oh, and here's a small thing I read about Ben Wallace in yesterday's newspaper:
Pistons center Ben Wallace usually is good for a laugh. On Monday a Detroit television reporter asked Wallace what he had to say to fans already making title celebration plans.
The reporter was looking for Wallace to say something along the lines of, "We still have to win one more game."
Wallace's response?
"Just be safe," he said, well aware of the city's bad reputation. "Have fun. We encourage everybody to come out and celebrate with us, but be safe. You ain't got to burn no houses down, turn over no cars or nothing like that. Especially not my house and car."
I like the man as a player, because he is really good, but that comment right there makes me think of him as a jerk. I mean, if the Pistons lost last night, that wouldn't look good for him........
Alright, I'm done with this thread, so I'll leave it to all the fans of Detroit. Once again, good job Pistons. The Lakers will go all the way next year, so forget chances of repeating. :lol: :wave:

Speck, every time you post I get this mental image of Fry sitting down at a computer, and your responses or so "Fryish" it just cracks me up... 
If your girlfriend/wife/s.o. ever posts on here, please make her have Leela (lila?) for an avatar... :sohappy:
As far as the Lakers go, I think you could read right through Kobe's lies. It's easy to say those things now, but about halfway through the summer when his legal troubles are (probably) behind him I think we'll see him take a few potshots at Phil and Shaq and then move on somewhere else.
Won't that be an awesome rivalry whenever they face each other.
On the important note, the Pistons did in Game 5 what they've done all all series, dismantle the once-proud Laker dynasty.
Kudo's to Jack for being a good sport. He even showed up on ESPN or FSN later that night as they were interviewing LB to give the Pistons and Larry major props on stomping the Lakers. I thought that was pretty classy.

I am a bit smarter than Fry, but my sense of humor is very similar...I have a major Bender streak in me too.
I recently had to tell my Leela to "Bite my Shiny Metal A$$" so....needless to say, she did not stick around.

Nice series Detroit, I highly doubted you guys and you suprised me to the fullest. Well now the question is Back to Back. With Melo and James with 1 season under thier belt look for the Cavs or Nugs in the hunt. Also for suprise teams next year the Bulls and the Clippers. The lakers are gonna fall apart next year, maybe get a 6 seed or higher in the playoffs. Well thats my take on the NBA. This has been a great season for the NBA, and next year with the Bobcats coming, lok for another great year, even though the Bobcats are gonna get dismantled.
