Pistons coach Curry: 'I think we can win this series' By VINCE ELLIS FREE PRESS SPORTS WRITER April 20, 2009 Coach Michael Curry let everybody know his mind-set early on during media availability today at the Pistons practice facility. A questioner started, You remain confident you guys can make this a competitive series, does it help And thats when Curry interrupted the reporter with: I think we can win this series. The questioner finished with a query about whether the Pistons take any solace in the fact that lower seeds have won four of the eight Game 1s in the NBA playoffs, but Curry was making a point that he wants to do more than stay close to the Cavaliers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference first-round playoff series Tuesday. He is planning on a seven-game series and doesnt think his Pistons will become playoff fodder for the Cavs championship express. Thats despite a 102-84 Game 1 loss Saturday that has many thinking the only drama in this series is whether the Pistons will win a game. Thats despite the Cavs possessing the best player on the floor in LeBron James, who dominated the Pistons with 38 points, eight rebounds and seven assists. Thats despite the Pistons actually playing well on offense in Game 1 and still losing by 18 points. Thats despite the Cavs losing only two games at home all season, the last loss occurring while they rested many of their top players, including James. But Curry doesnt need to see other lower seeds excel to believe in his team. Im confident going into this series, Curry said. Regardless of whatever happens in the other series. Im not really paying too much attention to those series." --
