Pistons in 6.....It'll seem much LONGER though...you know how our guys can be..

curiously enough - espn experts do not believe that pistons can win in 4, most of them predict pistons in 5-6.

I see no need for more than 4 games, though.

There's no need, I agree with that, but it all depends if the Pistons are on for all 4 games then it should be a sweep.

Sixers are fiesty. They play the type of ball that annoys our starting 5.

We can dominate them, but it will take a lot of real effort from Sheed.

Agreed.

8.8 DR, can't let Phillys youth get confident.
Open the gates to the Reserve and let the Zoo out. At least 50 player minutes total.

First-round matchup: Pistons vs. Sixers - Detroit Pistons Basketball: News, Blogs, Photos, Audio, Schedule & Stats - MLive.com

Rating the matchups; We have the advantage according to the writer in all categories except one. Although i think the forward match-up is equal if not tilted in the Sixer's favor.

Quote:

COACHES Mo Cheeks has arguably done more with less talent, than any coach in the league this season. He has found a way to get his players to believe not only in his system, but also in themselves. Flip Saunders had a hefty 'to-do' list at the start of the season. And if you look at his body of work, you have to give him credit for achieving all that they set out to do in the regular season. • Advantage: Sixers

The old saying with this group is they can turn it on when needed. We have all been there.

The click has been turning into a clack. It will probably go to a game seven. If Philly can stay out of foul trouble, then they could make it interesting for game seven. Each will steal a game from one another.
