I'd rather play Detroit than Orlando in the first round. Young legs vs old legs.

Please face Orlando
We need to face the Pistons so we can get whooped and have wholesale changes done to our pathetic ballclub.

Agreed but for a different reason. I simply don't think we can stop Dwight Howard.

I was checkin detroits board when I found a topic about who would they rather face. I found this classic quote on their board.

Philly would be slightly more difficult, but it'll be easy pickins (Sweep)either way.

i'd rather play detroit. the sixers have handled them twice in the past month or so and half of the pistons team is old. will the sixers win the series? probably not, but if they just go out there and run all game, they'll have a chance. detroit can't play that kind of basketball over 5, 6 or 7 games. orlando can.

I pray to God that we play Orlando. Detroit is way too experienced for us to compete against in the playoffs.

While he is underrating us, a sweep is definitely not out of the question. I hope we can steal a game or two from them though.

Detroit is old and vulnerable. They have been very mediocre in the playoffs the last couple years. Their age causes them to wear down during the course of a season.

Six straight trips to the Eastern Conference Finals is mediocre? Last year Lebron was on a tear and the year before that they lost to Shaq/Wade Miami team.

Where they ended up doesn't matter. They came up small in both series' when they should've won both. They should've dominated that Cavs team and they didn't.

They have played down to the level of the competition.
