Do you seriously think Detroit has a snowballs chance in hell of winning two straight in San Antonio, despite not winning there the last 10 times they played there, and that SA only lost 3 games at home the entire season?

Do you honestly think they don't? It's not likely, but it certainly not out of the realm of possibilities. Detroit is a damn good team.

Everyone's insistence that SA has this in the bag seems halfway ridiculous. Yeah, it's two games in San Antonio, but if they can somehow steal Game 6 then they have the momentum and place the pressure on San Antonio going into Game 7. They've proven they can win crucial games on the road (Game 7 vs. Miami), so I don't think it's a complete lock for the Spurs. Plus with everyone saying they're certain to win, the Spurs may take this game for granted. History can show what happens when teams do that. I think Popp is better than to let that happen to his team, but we'll have to see for sure.

I dunno, I've seen every game of both teams this year (they are, after-all, my two hometown teams) -- and I just don't see Detroit pulling this off. I've seen the difference between road/home games for SA, and they are much more organized on their own floor. Do I think Detroit can win one in SA? Sure do. Do I think they can win two in SA? Nope.
Btw, did anyone notice WHY Duncan's free-throws were off at the Palace? He held the ball longer than usual, and after a few times I realized why. There was a big reflection on the floor that was "sweeping back and forth" -- he always waited until those lights stopped before he shot. I have to wonder if that was what caused him to be off, as it threw off his flow. (Btw, the reflections did NOT appear when a Detroit player was at the line, and even a few of my friends pointed it out.)

Am I the only one who thought Bill Walton was being a complete moron by saying Detroit was playing horribly and trash talking them at half time when they were TIED with the Spurs. That guy is an absolute tool.

I don't mind Bill Walton. He's about the only analyst that hasn't been stamped with the sports analyst cookie cutter that everyone in America in every sport has been stamped with. He will say what is on his mind, and most of the time I'd rather hear that if its wrong than hear the usual BS that Greg Anthony or Hubie Brown or Tim Legler will say. Those guys rarely offer anything of substance. So in other words, I'd rather hear a few colorful incorrect words from Bill Walton than hear any of the other guys use 100 words to say nothing. Walton is the closest thing we can get to the European soccer announcers (which are the best in the world for any sport).
I'd be content if they did away with play-by-play and analysis and just played old school hip-hop during the games. 
EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I still think he's pretty much a tool, but I enjoy his analysis the most.

I think we've debated their playoff history enough to have established the fact that they are skilled enough in this field to NOT do that.. at least not on purpose..
otherwise, I agree with everything else. and you are right.. I don't think that Popp would let his guys do that.

I remember when Walton was saying in '95 that there was no way that Hakeem O. could keep up with Shak. Oh yea, what was that Final Series.....
