Detroit/Boston now - going to be goodness

Detroit wins the series in 6 games - 7 a decent possibility

I like Detroit having the edge because of how they match up against Ray Allen, Pierce, KG, and Rondo, and Boston against Billups, Hamilton. Also have a better bench, and I expect Detroit to win at least 1 game in Boston.

Pistons in six for me. I'm confident that Detroit can grab one in Boston. The Celts have been very average in the playoffs so far.

Really great win by Detroit

Definitely an entertaining game, too

As expected, Boston eventually would lose at home... really could of been vs. Cleveland, and definitely was going to happen against Detroit.

This is like how Detroit needs to play consistently

Is anyone else not surprised at all that the Celtics lost at home? Wasn't this almost expected? I would have been more shocked if the Celtics managed to win both at home. Now, I will be even MORE shocked if the Celtics win at Detroit. I don't see that happening.

Pistons throwing that first monkey wrench in the Stern dream. Let's see if the Spurs can throw that second one in there. :-)

If we get eliminated, Detroit is definitely the team I'll be going for (I think Detroit wins the East). If not them, then Boston ;). As I have my biases to various players on each team. I respect and enjoy the Lakers, but I just don't, won't go for them (unless it's against Phoenix or Dallas).

This is the Boston Celtics

Big three + the support guys getting it going well

Perkins is having a nice game on both ends

Been a blow-out so far, but it's been fun watching the Celtics play really well

I continue to really dig Stuckey's game

Definitely does remind me of Wade, to a degree

And so Stern's bribe of the Pistons was successful "just don't play that well for a pretty good deal of the game"

Fantastic game by Boston - that's the Boston road team that I know from the regular season

Really a nice all-around team win for the Celt Show - Posey and Perkins being especially key

Maxiell is my baby right now

What a stint for him here

And Stuckey continues to impress me

And got to give credit to Hunter before, two solid, solid plays with the steal and pass on the break

Lakers vs. Celtics!

Wow

As a fan of the game, I'm definitely hyped for it

-----------

Great, great team win by the Celt Show

Very impressive - that 4th qtr was just tremendous, they imposed their will on Detroit, and executed well on defense and offense.

I don't think the road is a real issue for them anymore, they've shown enough now. I was questioning if they'd be able to improve enough with how badly they played on the road before the ECF.

I'm happy for KG, Pierce, and PJ Brown, all three of those guys have been through a lot and come close to the oppurtunity. Always have enjoyed their play, too.

LOL

ESPN in full Laker-darling mode as usual

I understand there being significance for the Lakers, but ESPN goes overboard.
