My notes about this game:
Larry Brown had an excellent game plan going into this game. Basically to throw what you can at Shaq, but not to double him much at all to focus on the other lakers players. They're all really used to Shaq drawing the double, which is why I think Malone and Payton struggled, Payton especially.
The only thing that kept the pistons from winning that game by 20+ was their turnovers. They also didn't get much from Rip, who was guarded by Kobe (and did a damn good job).
I think game 2 is going to be much closer, and very intense, but impossible to predict. Obviously i'm going to side with the pistons, but that is biased =) You just can't count out either team.
