First Round: Pistons vs Sixers



2. Pistons (59-23) vs 8. Sixers (40-42)
Regular Season Series: TIE 2-2
Point Differencial: DET +1.2



The Pistons are seeded a little higher that they would like, u know they liking that disrespect. I don't think nobody is dizzing the Pistons in this series besides their regular season series being tied and all. The point differencial is a little closed 'cause the last game Detroit was in cruise control and really didn't show up for that one. Philly is a young team that plays with a lot of heart, likes to run and have the second best QB in the East behind Billups.


One of the keys of Philly's very own March Madness (11-4) was the good play - specially in the defensive end - of Samuel Dalembert. Once Sheed' and Mcdyess get Dalembert out of the key the Sixers becomes the Warriors of the east, u know if the Warriors were a lot worse. Well u catch my drift. No chance for Philly not against this Pistons. Even the young guys coming from the Flip Saunders bench are better that Mo Cheeks' bench. This is going to be even more painfull than the Boston series. 'Sheed is going to have a field day here.

X Factor: If Iggy can have a monster series, I mean a Lebron type series, they maybe can steal a game or two. Iguodala's numbers against Prince and the Pistons: 19.8 ppg, 5.5 apg, 2.2 spg


Basketball Gods' prediction: DET 4-0
