Mon May 05, 2003 6:11 am

how do you think they'll end up...

my personal prediction is philly in 6...dunno about ya'll...

il take the pistons in 6
i think Detroit will wake up and start playing in this one, and Ben Wallace should be back to full health and that will be the key, IMO
A.I will score at will but its up to the rest of the team to step up.

Philly in 6. I believe the Pistons will take two games due to their defense and at time surprising offense, but I still believe Philadelphia is the better team - on paper, if not in the seedings.

I say Philly in seven games. They will get the first couple I'd say, but the Pistons will again put up a fight. I don't think it will be a big enough one this time. The Iverson-Billups matchup should be a good one, that is if they put Billups on AI, Rip is quick, but not that quick. I think this series will come down to the supporting cast of each team. If Van Horn and Thomas show up the Sixers could finish it early.

Looks like Coach Brown's praise of Van Horn the other night was a little premature. Should never give a guy like that props, it will just come back and bite you on the arse.

Another good game for the Pistons though, Billups is shooting great. In the first few games of the first round he was something like 4 for 30 on threes, since then he is about 15 for 20. Really stepping up when it is needed most.

wooooo good stuff pistons
sixers coulda came back when billups went down :evil:

but pistons played well to keep the lead and win.
that ankle injury looks it could keep him out for the rest of the series :cry:

kvh and coleman need to play well for the sixers to advance to next round.

it seems that whenever kvh has a good game, they win and when he plays bad, they lose.

coleman needs to hit his perimeter shots consistently so he can keep ben wallace from playing zone in the paint.

Time for me to admit I didn't give the Pistons enough credit after the Magic series. Not over yet, but I expected the Pistons to steal a couple of games later, only to fall in six, not lead the series from Game 1.

Prince has been a revelation in this postseason. Give credit for Carlisle for putting Tayshaun on those crucial situations. Prince has game he prove that in Kentucky for Coach Tubby. A SF spot next season is a possibility.

Sixers strike back with a 93-83 victory, but Kenny Thomas went down with a strained quad muscle. Hopefully, he'll be available to play in the rest of the series.
