Doesn't the game 5 winner end up winning 80%+ of 7 game series?

Probably.

Although even if Det. wins game 5 I say Spurs in 7.

A bit of history:  Since the advent of the 2-3-2 format, only one team with the 3 consecutive games has held serve on their home court - last year's Detroit Pistons.  To pull it off twice consecutively would be extremely impressive.

Your stats are accurate, but they also include all the pre-1985 games when the formatt was correctly 2-2-1-1-1.  This goes back to our previous thread of what a burn the 2-3-2 format is to the team with the best record.

I find myself almost hoping it does go 7 cause I dont see the Spurs winning Gm 5 & 6.

Got back from the funeral a bit back, just read the Spurs had thier asses handed to them.  sucks.  game 5 will be SA.  They got to have something left in them.  It really sucks that just because they go in front of a detroit crowd they shrink, talk about pathetic.  Tim should stop wasting so much time attacking himself and start attacking the pistons.  glad i turned the game off after my post last night.  Spurs should be ashamed of themselves with the sorry as play they are giving.  Pops not the answer reality, it's the payers that are F'ing this up plain and simple.  They all look like they are being lead to a slaughter before the slaughter even got underway.  pathetic.

Spurs will win the game and the series.

The Pistons have to play their best game to stop the Spurs, and they've done that for two games in a row.  They won't be able to get it done this time unless the Spurs let them.

The Spurs haven't faced much adversity until now, and this is the game where they stand up and take the series back.

Genobli and Parker have to be relentless and keep up the pressure on Detroit to stop them.  That's the edge the Spurs have, no one on Detroit can stop them consistently.
