Agreed. It's because of Duncan that Ginobili and Parker can have games like they have.

Really Detroits offense against whos defense? You must have missed the First quater when it was 17-4 detroit.
Very good game.... Duncan had a great game and manu came on at the end... This could be another 7 game series....

How many blocked shots did SA have?
I know D had some too but it seemed like every shot D took, SA got at least a piece of it. What a game.

If Detroit were to lose, I would prefer it be San Antonio or Phoenix. San stepped up big in the fourth and played a good game. Two respectible well rounded teams exactly how it should be in the finals. Still think Detroit holds its destiny. The have a potentialy potent offense, they just havn't showed up enough these playoffs. San Anonio Knows they need to take both games at home. Going to Detroit for 3 games tied, could be detrimental. Not that D has never been beaten at home. But if the Pistons win the next game and go home with some momentum. Can't be good for SA.

That's because SA had 8 days off, it took a quarter for them to get their game back. In the 1st quarter alone Duncan had a Double-Double, and that's before anyone else on the team got going.
I'm still happy no matter who wins, but I think SA has a much better shot at it.

Thats subjective. Even SA coach didn't realy have an opinion either way. IMO I just think it was all Detroit.They don't usualy wake up until the fourth quarter. Also at half time if the score is close, not to mention leading, Detroit usualy wins those games handily against anyone. So this series has me puzzled on the outcome. Will be intresting to say the least.

Its only game #1! I thought the rust would affect the Spurs, but I guess the endurance caught up with the Pistons, look they need to be bored .030 over  Also, it didn't help that Rasheed only took SIX shots in the entire game, maybe he was sleeping  Either way, Sundays game will be alot different, trust me. For those of you who don't or didn't follow the Pistons during this playoff run let me tell you something, they play their best ball when their "backs are against the wall", I know its cliche', but its true. Pistons will tie up the series 1-1 on Sunday

I think if anything, yesterdays game proves that getting rest is far more valuable than the negatives of not playing. At least, amongst very professional teams like the Spurs and Pistons. The Spurs were over the rust after 8 minutes. The pistons fatigue became apparent a few minutes into the 3rd.
The extra day is going to be very valuable for them and they need to get this next game. The Spurs really only beat up on the Pistons in one area, rebounding. I don't expect that kind of differential again.
This series has the potential to be a classic despite probable low scores.
