I know I want ATL to win, but...I'm just biased.  Boston's been pretty cocky all season about how good they are and the hype on them was irritating, I want them to lose. |

Boston's confidence isn't shaken. They know they're good.
My common sense is telling me they'll win, but I really hope they get beat. Either way, they're already being exposed. Nobody is even close to Detroit or Boston in the East. They were supposed to be shoo-ins for the Conference Final. If one loses before then, their entire season is a failure.

Orlando will beat Detroit over my dead body. Their only advantage is Dwight Howard.

Thats a huge advantage though. Anybody who is putting up 20-20's during the playoffs is a threat to end the opponents season. It's all on him though to make it happen.

One player does not a champion make.
(See: Kobe Bryant's Lakers prior to this year)

Dwight's the star player, but don't forget about Hedo Turkoglu who won most improved player this year and did a very good job against Toronto in that series, or Rashard Lewis. Hell, even Jameer Nelson isn't too bad of a player either. Orlando has a pretty talented team, ill admit not as much talent as Detroit, but enough to where if Dwight makes as big of an impact as he did in the Toronto series that they can knock out the Pistons and Celtics. Hell, thats even if Boston can win game 7 and then in the second round.

Yeah, obviously I understand with you being a fan of the Pistons and their dominance in the playoffs through the past few years it would be hard to believe. But they also lost to Philadelphia twice, once at home. They seem vulnerable due to that, same with Boston, and I just think Orlando is one of those teams that can take advantage of it. Am I seeing its going to happen? No, I'm not sure, but I think its highly possible and I would rather see that than Boston and Detroit.

Yeah I know, but I am talking minus that and the fact your team has been to the Eastern Conf. Finals for the past 4 years? Or atleast thats what I thought.

Something like that.
The bottom line is I don't see Orlando beating us.

Yeah, and I don't blame you. Because I know if I was a Pistons fan and knew my team had as much talent as they did, and with the way you guys have been making it to the East Finals I wouldn't either. I think it'll be a good series atleast though, they split during the regular season so I guess we'll see how game one goes tonight, but I don't see Detroit losing game one.

Well, here are your Pistons:
We just went from 47-46 Detroit to 64-49 Detroit in a span of about 6 minutes.

I think Orlando's going to get swept in this series. And its going to be very interesting to see the Hornets take on the Spurs. New Orleans has a big hill to climb to get to the WCF.....unlike the Lakers  |
