I think it is amazing how much the home court means in the NBA. If you look at games 1 and 2, the Spurs pretty much blew Detroit out. Games 3 and 4 have had the same result, except, Detroit has been the beneficiary of playing at home. How can it be that the home court advantage means so much to professional athletes. I mean these guys are getting paid millions of dollars to perform at their best level night after night, regardless of where the game is being played. How can the San Antonio Spurs play so well at home and so lousy on the road? The same goes for the Detroit Pistons. Update --- the lead is back up to 24 with 3:20 left and the Pistons have begun to empty their bench.

Game five of the NBA championship is in Detroit so according to this trend, Detroit should win. The bad news for Detroit fans is that if they are going to repeat as NBA champions, they need to win one on the road because games 6 and 7 (if necessary)are in San Antonio. The Pistons proved last year they can win on the road when they need to. They didn't have the advantage last year but it didn't seem to matter. Hopefully for them, they will be able to steal one on the road and repeat as champions although I wouldn't put my order in quite yet for my Pistons championship jersey. Final update --- Detroit Pistons 102, San Antonio Spurs 71.... that my friends is what you call a blow out.
