Probable Starters



Alright, I've predicted the Pistons to win every game in this series and the madness stops, or starts depending on your perspective, right now. I don't expect any 20 point blowouts in this game but I'm gonna swim in the Kool-Aid and say the Sixers go up 3-1 in this series hence...

My Prediction: 76ers by 5+



Eastern Conference Playoff Match-ups

[1]Boston Vs. [8]Atlanta: Celtics lead series 2-1

[2]Detroit Vs. [7]Philadelphia: 76ers lead series 2-1

[3]Orlando Vs. [6]Toronto: Magic lead series 3-1

[4]Cleveland Vs. [5]Washington: Cavs lead series 2-1

Spitshine that Thad jersey and get those beers ready, TGP!

Lets win this game and pound the dagger into thier hearts. This is a must win for us. If they win they have the home court back.

Dice might miss the game.

This is the 2nd time he's had his nose broken in Philly.

This time they have to "set it"....

[Parasight]

Haha, I just checked out your guys' official website and I love the White Out Weekend intro with Sheed. Genius. Good luck.

[Hewy29]

maybe we show have it say pistons by 5 since we won with it like that last time? Im just saying.

[Fire BK]

I don't know exactly who I like in game 4, but I'm really starting to see the Sixers winning this series in 6 or 7.

[Pure Hatred]

I honestly have no idea who's going to win...let's throw out a shot in the dark and say Sixers by 6.

He did it for the game we lost as well...So it doesnt really make a difference. Although maybe that was all in the grand master plan. TGP, I think you should just do everything the same way you've always been doing it. Including the prediction...actually I don't know. I think we need a group vote on this. Should TGP, change his prediction to a pistons win?

[P2]

You guys are going to win this game, but I'll say it will be decided in the last minute of the game. Being up 3-1 is very important before you guys head to Motown, so it's a must-win game for both teams.

Well, if we really want to change the prediction for the sake of jinxing our opponent, then we are going to lose the game for sure. So we should just stick with that prediction. Don't force the action.

Exactly, no reason changing something thats working...

[freshie2]

Golden oppotunity here...they need to come up with a great performance.

[tk76]

Even though its only rthe first round, games like this show how great it is to be back in the playoffs and have a team that is relevant again.

[cfan79]

I love how Detroit fans are no longer sticking out their chests. They were so cocky going into this series. Even if Philly doesn't win this series they have earned a lot of respect.

[Wildfire]

Even if we do win this game, it doesn't mean we won the series (or are even close to winning the series).

Detroit came back 3-1 before in the first round, and that was against a T-Mac led Magic team (and back when Detroit didn't have Sheed or Tay). In fact, this series is going eerily like that one did (except we blew the Pistons out, the Magic never did that). So if we do win tonight, hopefully we don't fall victim to that.

Here's the theory with the prediction....

Game 1: I predicted the Pistons would win and we won.

Game 2: I predicted the Pistons would win and they won.

Game 3: I predicted the Pistons would win and we won.

Well, according to the pattern... if I predicted the Pistons again... we would lose this game so I needed to change things up to give us a chance.

***By the way, I do find it hilarious that I have to stick with the same ol', same ol'. I tried changing my avatar back to the one I've used for the previous two years and someone yelled at me that I can't change off of the Kool-Aid at this point.

Also, I will be wearing the Thad jersey and drinking at least 3 beers. We are 2-0 with that magic combo. This is getting out of hand!

LoL, it was me who yelled at you for changing the avatar. Everyone just agreed with me, haha....

Hmmm, interesting theory, lets try it out. If it doesnt work out, just go back to predicting sixers losses.

But yeah, make sure you wear that Thad jersey and drink those beers. Again, what prevented you from wearing the jersey during game 2?

[eyeatoma]

^^TGP, I hope you don't think I'm trying to order you around or something. You're free to do what you want. I'm just superstitious when it comes to things like this, as are a lot of people. Its all in good fun...
