Eastern Conference Final: Detroit vs. Boston

[billmac91]

Pistons arent going to turn the ball over like crazy again, they will still win in 6 games

I agree, but if there was a game to win it was this one. Detroit looked RUSTY. That can't be an excuse though, b/c Boston is a veteran laden team coming out of a 7 game series and Detroit should have been rested enough to take the game over in the second half. Instead they just continued to play like shit. First quarter ring rust is one thing, they should be experienced enough to fight through the rest of the game though. Instead they laid over and died. That's kind of scary.

I picked Detroit to win the series, I guess now I'm taking the winner of game 2. If Detroit can get a win they're in great shape otherwise you have to think Boston gets through the series as the victors.

Do you know what he was referencing in those series?

He was referencing your statement.

You know, the one that sounded like Trev Alberts talking about the Buckeyes in '02.

Somewhat suprised by Boston's energy in the first game.....the week off did not do Detroit any favors.....the second game is huge.....do not want to leave Boston 1-1......

Btw I don't need to watch the series , I can see everything I need right here on BP and know exactly what happened.

Me too:

If the Celtics lose, the posts all consist of the following:
- Celtics fans crying about how the refs cost them the game and how the Celtics are playing down to the level of their opponent
- Cavs fans whining about how they wish this was the Celtics team that showed up in game 7

If the Celtics win, the posts all consist of the following:
- Posts by Celtics fans that essentially boil down to the tired joke of, "Who's the fraud now?"

Billups is hurt and the Pistons have no one to replace his offense: Ergo the pistons are cannon fodder. Take it to the bank.

Well, the Pistons are holding their own pretty well through the first half.

Whoops....

Home court: neutralized.

Yeah, so much for "So what if we can't win on the road? We don't have to!"

The Pistons did hit just about every shot after the Celtics took that four-point lead in the third. That's pretty atypical of the Pistons to be that "on" from the field.

The series is not over, but Boston should be VERY concerned and they NEED to win one in Detroit over the next two games.

Well, I sure hope that prediction ends up being wrong now.
