The Pistons will find that the Spurs are unlike other Western Conference foes, and very different to the Lakers team that the Pistons beat to lift the title last season. The Spurs play better defense, better than anyone else in the league, and will stifle the Pistons. The Spurs shoot better than the Pistons, have the deeper bench, and in Tim Duncan they have an unstoppable interior presence.
The Pistons will find the Spurs unforgiving at home, and while Detroit is too good a team to be swept it is hard to imagine them winning more than 1 game in this series. At the price, $6.50 is hard to beat in terms of value, and is worth a decent-sized wager.
