Pistons-Spurs

I guess The Spurs are off to a pretty good start.

While everyone was talking about the Pistons defense, this, and the Pistons defense that, nobody was mentioning the Spurs defense.

They were the number ranked 1 defense this year.

I was actually expecting the Pistons to win game one.

The Spurs were off for 8 days, usually it takes a game to get back in the rythm of the playoffs. The Pistons were in a groove, even after a very rollercoaster series with the Heat.

The first quarter was evidence of that, it looked like the Pistons were going to be too much for the Spurs. Then the Spurs went into half-time down only 2 points. Aside from the first quarter, the Spurs outscored the Pistons in every quarter.

So I should be really excited and start telling you how great I am, right?

Not yet.

My only concern is that the Spurs may get complacent, let their guard down, and allow the Pistons to get back in this series.

After all, they held the Pistons to 69 points, and beat them easily by 15.

A loss would actually be good for the Spurs, unless they can keep the same intensity they had in the second half of Thursday's game. They outscored the Pistons 49-32 in the second half.

I still don't think a win or two by the Pistons are going to make a difference in the long run, the Spurs should win this series.

And, like I already said, they will...
