I hope all b-ball fans caught the Pistons-Who? game last night. Unreal. One of the best games I've ever seen in my life. No Billups, OT win. Great, great stuff. Makes the season worth it, even with the Lakers' woes (an L.A. fan and all that).

I am VERY excited for these two teams to come to Philly. I am a huge Sixers fan...and although I am quite disappointed that they are down 2-0, I know they could have played much better, and happy to see them hanging in there through both games, keeping them close and entertaining. Key is, keep Van Horn out of the game once we come home to Philly, so we can go back to Detroit 2 games to 2. He's terrible in post-season play.

If they can get by the Pistons, I think they'll be seeing the Spurs in the finals. Kings have been too inconsistent (especially Nash) in the playoffs, and Sacramento just took two big injuries (Jackson and Webber). I don't see them beating the Spurs.

The Sixers/Pistons is such a great matchup, i.am.steve. I agree totally. Last night shoulda been a Sixers win! I was STUNNED to see Iverson cuff both of those free-throws. Not sure if he was tired or cracked under the pressure. He is a clutch player and has that 'dagger in the heart' mentality. I thought we were cooked when he went to the line.

It's clear to me that this series will be decided on whose part-time players step up for huge games. Prince last night was unreal, but Barry was also huge in the fourth quarter. I am not resting as Detroit goes to Philly! Should be more fantastic games.

You are right: Van Horn just has hands around his neck. Looks scared when there's pressure.

I am hoping (assuming my Lakers can't come back) to see Big Ben go against Duncan. That'd be a great matchup.

I agree...Prince is playing unreal right now. Problem is, he's not afraid to go to the basket, and has a few inches over everybody who's been marking him.

As for Van Horn...he needs to take his shots, and stop putting the ball on the court. Everytime he dribbles in the paint, he gets stripped...and his hands seemed to have turned into stone.

Iverson has seemed shaky at the line since the post-season started. Even those that he makes seem to rattle around the rim a few seconds before dropping, 50% of the time.

I just dont see the confidence and energy they had in the 2001 playoffs. Luckily, the east is weak, and they may be able to squeak by. We'll see though, they're going to be great games!

But, I am just speaking from what I see...I am no expert.

And yes, seeing Ben Wallace go up against Tim Duncan would definitely be a great show. I just wish Wallace had more of an offensive presence. But hey, you can't complain with the way he plays.

Yo Guys : True AI could have iced that game but sometimes you get the bear and sometimes the bear gets you. Hell if it wasn't for the little guy the 6ERS wouldn't be in the playoffs. I fully expect the 6ERS to take two at home. Prince played a fantastic game and Detroit deserved the win. JonR
