Pistons 1st Round Game 1 - Sixers Sun Apr 20 6PM

1st round action begins with the Pistons hosting the Sixers. Pistons ended the season on a 4 game winning streak while the Sixers ended on a 4 game losing streak. Teams split the 4 game season series 2-2.

Quote:
Since 1984 a No. 7 seed has beaten a No. 2 seed only four times, with the most recent coming in 1998 when the Knicks beat the Heat 3-2.

This is the first time since the 2004-05 season that the Sixers have been in the playoffs. During that season they lost to the Pistons in the first round in five games.

In the past six trips to the playoffs the Pistons have failed to reach the conference finals only once (in 2002 they lost to the Celtics in five games in the semifinals).

The Pistons hold the fifth best all-time winning percentage at home in the playoffs among NBA teams (.692).

ESPN - NBA Playoffs 2008- Eastern Conference - First Round - Detroit Pistons vs. Philadelphia 76ers

Note: Pistons.com has us listed on Sat with no time and nba.com and espn.com have us starting on Sun at 6pm so I am going with that.

I believe this is the third time in the past six years that Pistons play Philly in the playoffs.

We have been playing Philly and Milwaukee a lot these last few years in the first round.

I'm going. I'll take some pictures. My seat is front row of Upper section right on mid-court. Sweet action. Seeing as you are wearing a different jersey, are you taking the other car as well Warthog?

well my buddy is probably going to drive for game one, if not my car should be fixed and i'll be taking that. i have to find out which section we're in...it's row 7 center court. it'll be cool if it's on the same side.

Pistons need to offer up a serious beatdown in Game 1 to send the proverbial message. The Sixers need to know in the 1st Q of game 1 that they don`t have a chance. Not to mention this series does not need to go past 5 games at the most.
