Is a matchup between Detroit and San Antonio a lock?

New Jersey? It's feasable that they make it to the East Finals, but not over Detroit. No East team can beat Detroit 4 out of 7 times, none.

 

The West is wide open in my opinion. I think Duncan and Ginobli need about 3 months off and right now if the Hornets steal one on the road in the playoffs, they could beat anyone in a 7 game series. Right now I have to go with the Spurs or Mavs, the teams which seem to have the best mix of scoring and defense. In the East, it's still Detroit. Shaq looks too big to battle fullcourt in the playoffs. He's leaning on his team for points and they may not get out of the second round. Also, don't expect Philly or the Nets to roll over. But, again, the Pistons seem to have the best mix of scoring and defense. My prediction is Dallas v. Detroit. Detroit in 7 in a very physical contest.

 

How the hell is NJ gonna beat Detroit

they did beat us once this season but only because Chauncey's hand was hurt and the next time we faced them after that we beat them by like 15

but in 7 i don't believe they can

i think it will be Dallas vs Detroit in Finals

i think it will go to 6 and if detroit gets home court they will win

 

NJ would be lucky to get a game against the Pistons in a 7 game series.

 

I don't think it's a lock because if Miami wakes up they can be a force. If they play like they did vs. Detroit they can make A LOT of noise. Teams like Phoenix and Dallas can also upset San Antonio so don't call it a lock just yet, however it looks like they are the front runners.
