Damon Jones doesn't think it is all the Detroit defense, he thinks it was them playing sloppy. Hopefully they made some adjustments for Game 2, but winning in Detriot will be really tough. This one will be closer though.. Pistons by 6
I picked the Pistons to take San Antonio to seven games in the finals, and at the moment I can't see any eastern team beating them, not even Indy or New Jersey. Pistons by 12.
I'm really hoping we can win a game but it will not be today, I see the Pistons taking this one by 10.

Maybe it won't, because I too feel that Detroit has a legidament chance of winning the whole thing. Anyways, I think the Pistons will sweep the Bucks.
Milwaukee is actually up at the half. There playing aggressive and may prove me wrong about being swept. Lets see.
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! lil jon style great win for the bucks. major breakdown at the end but we got saved.
The Bucks pull this off and makes me lose alot of dinero. Damn, cyke. Still though, I can't believe the Bucks got this game. Good win for the Bucks, even though they the Pistons made a valient come back.
Yeah this was a good win,this game was completely different from game 1,still the Bucks bever should have let the Pistons come back that game it that shows they are not finishing their games.I have a question though;how did Sheed lose the handle on that ball at the end?
Props to Milwaukee. I thought you guys were no chances to win a game this series. To win one in Detroit is big. The way Detroit finished the season, while you guys limped in, a sweep was on the cards. KuKoc, Smith and Redd come up big!

Wow Damon Jones, choking at the line like a little child, but Redd Ice'd the game and it was a good win, this is what I was hoping for, wow now I'm hoping we can win 2 games. GO BUKCS!
If we win on Saturday, I'd really like to see how the Pistons play with THEIR backs against the wall. They get frustrated way too easily.
I dont think the Pistons get frustarted easily last year in the playoffs they came back on Orlando when Orlando was leading the series 3-1.
