Pistons v Nets

[thehardaway]

Detroit steal Game 6 in NJ, and now have the final game at home. Tough series this one

 

[Dingster]

It looks like Detroit did a good job keeping Kidd off the boards which stops NJ running as much. Detroit would have to be strong faves now.

It was very difficult to keep quiet while watching the live play by play scorecard at work today. The 'Stones were out by double figures before NJ pulled them back and were within a shot with under a minute to go. Sounded like one hell of a game, and now Detroit has home court advantage for the last game.

GO YOU PISTONS!

Can anyone see them going all the way? because if they can get by Indi or Miami, anything can happen in the finals.

Now that my beloved mob are out, I'm hoping the Pistons go the whole way. I'm a big Rip fan, and it'd be nice to see an East team get up.

Can't see anyone beating LA in a seven game series. Jackson is a master of peaking is teams at the right time.

Do you think he will actually ever get there? because i just can't see him being anything special.

I don't rate him at all, but it's too early to label him a dud, simply because we haven't seen enough of him.

Quite clearly isn't up to NBA standard yet, though.

Cmon?? Triple OT, Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semi's and you want to throw in the rookie? Just asking for turnovers.

3-3. Can the Nets hold out and continue to be the beast of the east?

Nets down by 20 with 6 mins left, looks like it is all over

 

[GeeCat]

Anyone got the dig on J.Kidd? 0-7 FG, and 0-3 3PT from 33 mins on the floor. Back injury still hampering him?

 

[thehardaway]

It's definitely over when Darko gets court time

Kidd held scoreless for the first time in postseason match

Season on the line. 43 mins. 0 points. Champion.
