Why I love Game 7's

I am pumped up for tonight's game 7. I love game 7's because everything comes down to one game. The rest of the series is just an appetizer and now finally we get to the main course. Game 7 has a different feel than the other games. More intensity, more nervousness, more opportunities to be either a hero or a goat. It is hard to believe that the last game 7 was 11 years ago. That's really the big problem with the NBA and with Baseball. There are two many games and everybody knows they don't mean anything until you get to game 6 or 7. Unfortunately they rarely get to this stage. Tonight's game will remind us how good the NBA can be.

I am a little nervous because all the trends favor the Spurs. It will be hard for the Pistons to overcome losing the first two games and game 5 at home to win back to back games in a place they hadn't won since 1997 until two nights ago. But the Pistons like being a team against the odds. In fact they thrive on it. They weren't supposed to beat the Lakers last year. Or even make it past the Nets when they were down 3-2. Then they beat the Heat this year in game 7 on the road. I think tonight's game will come down to a battle of wills. From watching the series so far, I think Detroit has the stronger desire and the heart of a champion. Tonight they make history by defying the odds.
