Paraphrase each of the following passages, which may contain more than one argument. 

The [Detroit] Pistons did not lose because of the lack of ability. They are an all around better team. They lost because of the law of averages. They will beat the [San Antonio] Spurs every two times out of three. When you examine the NBA finals [of 2005], that is exactly how they lost the seventh (last game) because that would have been three out of three. The Spurs will beat the Pistons one out of three. It just so happens that, that one time was the final game, because the Pistons had already won two in a row.
