C'mon. This whole argument of "I like them because they play defense like the Pistons." Gimme a break. There is right and there is wrong and liking the Spurs for a Pistons fan is wrong. The idea that the Spurs are a mirror image of the Pistons that play half-court basketball is an old idea. And even if they were, how in the world do you support your rival EVER? Good Lord.

Personally, I don't necessarily see it like that. Sure, Ginobili's flopping. Have you noticed Nash with Grammys out there? Duncan is not a dirty player and Horry is out. And, I would love for Pistons to have a shot at revenge.
And besides, Phoenix doesn't play defense and I don't like their coach.
