Nah, manu played game 2-6. And it was his right arm and not his shooting arm. That was not the real reason they loss.

??? their engine, the guy that broke down defenses only broke his “off” arm so it didn’t affect the series?

Is this when we had Matt Bonner and a broken down McDyess to try to stop their front line?

How could you forget 6’5 PF DeJuan Blair

6'5 PF with no ACL's* (literally). Couldn't jump over a phone book but still somehow made a 7-year NBA career out out of it lol.

Yup.

I am surprised at how much Detroit is struggling today.

Would have been 10 if not for Whataburger

Magic are low-key a tough matchup for them tbh.

Manu wasnt their main offense that season. Maybe early in the season, but porker over took him in ppg with both manu and porker finshed the season with 17ppg. it was an egalitarian type of offense. It was also the first time that the spurs switched from a defensive oriented type of team to offense oriented(beginning of egalitarian/ beautiful game type of offense).

Like i said manu’s injury was not the main reason they loss that series. Spurs fans just used it as excuse.

 

[wEmBoY]

Magic might pull the upset here

 

[spursistan]

Magic pulling off the upset would be nice. Don't want a road team bucking the trend at our expense.

 

[1kangaroo]

Pistons closed the gap

 

[Robz4000]

Could see the Magic making this a 7-game series tbh.

 

[scott]

Wild how the Magic waited until Mosely was one game away from being fired to start playing... but then again, so did the 1999 Spurs

Never thought Pistons were serious contender even in the East. That Knicks-Celtics series is basically virtual ECF, tbh.

The Celtics are the only legit contender in the East tbh.

Detroit hasn't played in a week while Orlando's been in it. That may play a factor.

Didn’t affect the Thunder from curbstomping the Suns.

People also said that Denver-Minny was the real WCF two years ago when Dallas was the one that made it. Hard to make assumptions in these playoffs. The Pistons could still be in the finals.

 

[Rafa]

This is a fun game so far, Magic look descent. Pistons gonna lose this one I think, but still confident they take the series with little sweat

Detriot Transition D looking very weak.

I feel they dont stand a chance against BOS.

 

[SpurPadre]

I just want this game to end on time.
