This Pistons series is over. They are going back to Detroit and Billups is most likely going to play.

Great adjustments to make up for Billups not being in the game by the Pistons.

Looks like it will most likely be Pistons vs. Celtics in the conference finals.

I really wanna see the Magic get there but it doesn't look like we will get that.

D'Antoni going to the Knicks is disappointing for the Bulls but you can't match NY's money. Good team >>>> $$, imo.

I've seen alot of Celtics games this year, and that 1st quarter was by far the worst quarter I've seen them play all year long.

edit: I really hate the hometown officiating that goes on in the NBA, already 3 bad calls against the Celtics.(Charge on KG, non-call on Varejao's traveling, and that shouldn't have been a flagrant)

Both flagrants that were called on the C's in the Atlanta series were later rescinded by the NBA BTW, and this one will be too. I wish the refs called things right atleast some of the time.

That said, there getting killed right now regardless.

The Cavs dominated in every category the first quarter. Looks like its going to be 2-1

**sirdilznik** · 05-10-2008, 10:55 PM

And the Celtics still can't play a good game on the road. That 1st quarter was putrid. I know hypothetically they don't have to win a road game to win the title but this is getting to be quite sad.

Hate to see the Celtics lose to the Cavs but I knew they wouldn't take two in Cleveland, so hopefully they bounce back strong in the upcoming game and finally win a game on the road, which means they can win the series in Boston.

**TheHitmanHart** · 05-11-2008, 02:27 AM

I just want to see Boston play well in Game 4. I've never seen a team transform like they do based on if they're home or not. Very frustrating.

I am suprised that Mike D'Antoni is going to the Knicks. I thought that he wanted to go to the Bulls. But money talks and D'Antoni will get his money. I just hope he has fun in wackoland in New York. He is going to have fun with that group.

Not a Pistons fan but I dont think Orlando is worthy of going on to the next round yet. They are still missing key pieces in that rotation like a legit PG and bench players. So I want the Pistons to move on and face either Cavs or Celtics.

Being in NY I am a little excited if the circus in town would actually be interesting and watchable this time. Im not that suprised that Mike decided to pick the Knicks instead of going to his former boss in Toronto or the uglier version of his old team the Bulls.

Obviously NY can offer the most money out there, but what people dont understand is the Knicks is a trade and maybe a pick away from being a playoff team. One thing the Knicks dont lack is talent and youth, but chemistry is a big problem. People forget that Mike traded Marbury and Hardaway to the Knicks to make room for signing Steve Nash and the rest was history. Marbury's contract is up in 2010 and everybody would want to get his huge expiring contract this year. And if the Knicks get lucky, they can get a shot of Derrick Rose in this year's draft. Shawn Marion and TJ Ford could be out there and will not be surprised if they end up with the Knicks.
