San Antonio 3-3 Detroit

"We play all year to have home court, to have this opportunity," Duncan said, "so we're going to come in this building two days from now and do a lot of clean up stuff."

Mejor que así sea, porque si pierden mañana me corto las bolas. No literalmente, pero figurativamente.

Estoy muy embolado. Ayer fue un buen día que terminó para el ORTO.

As the saying goes, a championship team isn't going to give you the title – you have to take it from them. That has never been truer than in this series. If San Antonio doesn't take the ball from the Pistons, some very disappointed people will be spilling out of SBC Center on Thursday.

El enfermo de Chauncey Billups está promediando casi 22 puntos, 5 rebotes y 6 asistencias con solos 1.3 pérdidas por partido. No tiene nombre. Tony Parker va a necesita mucho más que mimos de Eva para frenarlo, pero mejor que lo empiece a hacer AHORA.

Porque sino va a tener un problema grave con Pop, fíjense que le pasó a Rasho. Ahora si que me arrepiento de no tener a Jason Kidd, pero nunca es tarde. Si no ganan mañana... se viene la noche.

El domingo Popovich se lució desde el banco, pero por algún motivo no logró que Timmy tire al aro ayer:

This was a great game that was very similar to Game 5 in that both teams brought it.

The only difference is that the Spurs' guards execution was poor. They didn't make good decisions and turned the ball over seven times because they were trying to get their own shot and not create for their teammates. They have to do a better job of involving their big men if they want to hoist the championship hardware.

Tim Duncan only had one more shot than Rasheed Wallace even though he played 41 minutes to Wallace's 23. Duncan is supposed to be the best player in the league, and for him to have only 14 shot attempts is ludicrous. You can't expect to win when your best player is not getting the ball.

It wasn't as though he was being faced with tremendous defensive pressure, because the guy who does the best job on him, Rasheed Wallace, was out for most of the game with foul trouble. In that situation Duncan is supposed to be fed the ball. He should have had 25-30 shots, not 14.

Ocasionalmente estoy dispuesto a aceptar que los Spurs pierdan si Manu juega bien, pero ayer no fue el caso, a pesar de tener 21 puntos, 10 rebotes y 4 asistencias. Falló muchísimo en los últimos minutos del juego.

The Pistons clearly were better prepared for Ginobili in crunch time Tuesday than they had been in Games 1 and 2, when he scored 26 and 27 points.

Pistons point guard Chauncey Billups said things might have come a little too easily for Ginobili in the first half, when he made 5 of 9 shots and scored 12 points.

"Manu had it going so easy, so early that I don't know if he was forcing (late)," said Billups. "... Those shots that he was shooting, he makes. It seems like he always makes them against us.

"Just not tonight."
