Would like to think we lost to the best, but I don't feel that way...

Best of luck to both teams.. But I truly feel the Pistons win this in 6 games in the Palace..

I'll take Detroit in 6. Boston is playing like they're entitled to something, similar to the way Detroit played the past two years. The Pistons are playing great recently while the Celtics are not.

Great the pressure is entirely on the pistons, hopefully the Celtics can remain unbeaten at home. :wink:

The Pistons have to win it in 6, we won't win a game 7 at the garden. I really think game one is the key to this series. If the Cavs were able to finish what they started in game one, we'd be playing Lebron right now. Game one sets the tone in this even of a series.

In all seriousness, I predict that Boston ends their road woes vs. the Pistons. I have 2 very valid reasons to back that up, and possible situation
1. Paul Pierce seems to be back into his form, Prince is not going to slow down Paul so now we can finally have 2 guys (Pierce and KG) show up for every game
2. We only started using Eddie House 2 games ago. The one road game Eddie House played in we were in until the end even though some people underperformed(both players and refs)

Now the wishful thinking situation:
3. Ray Allen finds his stroke his again. Ray isn't old, he's not a bum, he's been forced out of his comfort zone by being double on every pick/screen and on most drives. His shot has also been off, but that type of stuff happens with shooters.

I expect this series to be the one Boston bounced back in. IMHO, the team who wins this series will win the championship because RIGHT NOW, Detroit is looking like the best team.
