Pistons go for the sweep in Orlando

Brooms

Here’s to hoping I didn’t just jinx it — as usual, leave your thoughts in the comments.

Update: No jinx — Pistons 97, Orlando 93.

    Regarding the 4th quarter: as Chauncey is so quick in saying (at least in years past) “If it ain’t rough, it ain’t right!”

    Awesome, now the boys can rest. I never thought I would say this, but Go Heat! Take one or two please!

    Kudos for Orlando for bringing it — that was closer than I think anyone expected all the way through.

    Did we just witness Grant Hill’s last game?

    Dwight’s a beast, and… … … Darko’s for real, yo.

    Hopefully the Bulls sweep their series too because Joe Dumars said himself, and I paraphrase: “I worry about our team when we have too many days off. We seem to be better when we play day after day and get in a rhythm.”

    But the Bulls will give the Pistons many problems and I think the series will go 7 between them.

    Your player of the game, Carlos Delfino.

    Fadel - It doesn’t matter how quickly the Bulls get done with the Heat. The series won’t start any sooner because of the television schedule. The next game is Sunday, no matter what, but I agree - the Pistons do better when they get into a groove.

    Rob: I’m not positive either way, but George and Greg were making it sound like the start date isn’t set in stone. They said something like “the earliest the first game could be is a week from today,” which makes it seem like it might be later. Either way, we’re due for at least a week of downtime, which I’m not really looking forward to.

    Thats why you watch the red wings this week… and the warriors.

    I thought we’d be able to win this game today, but when Rip hit that layup at the halftime buzzer, I got the sense that things weren’t going to go our way. Congratulations on a well-played series, Pistons fans. You outclassed us in every phase of the game. Kudos.

    Hear hear for the Warriors. Gang’s kicking some butt in both Dallas and Oakland.

    Yep, I’m watching the Wings too, well at least the ones on NBC. I guess I only get to watch game 5 now since I don’t have VS. What kind of crap is that, I only get to watch 2 of the Wings games this series.

    Bulls swept Heat. Its going to be one hell of a fight against the Bulls.

    Matt C beat me to it. Big Ben vs his former team. 60 mil vs a band of brothers. This will be one tough and interesting series.
    Chauncey vs Gordon, Rip vs Hinrich, Tay vs Deng, Sheed vs Big Ben, C-webb vs PJ, The dolphin vs Nocioni. The xfactor in this series I think will be Mcdyess.

    I think if our boys slow the game down a bit, they’ll be able to handle them. The Bulls still turn over the ball quite a bit…

    Anyone have an over/under on the number of technicals in the Bulls/Pistons series?
