Sixers to play Detroit in first round of playoffs

The Sixers beat the Atlanta Hawks last night to clinch the 7th spot in the playoffs. They could have had the 6th seed, but the Bulls couldn't hang on to beat the Pacers last night. The Sixers will be playing the defending champion Detroit Pistons in a best of 7 series and analysts are giving the Sixers no chance to win the series. They keep billing the series as Allen Iverson vs. his former coach Larry Brown and saying that the Sixers will only win 1. I feel that this is a bad draw for the Sixers, but feel that they do have a chance to take the series, probably just because I'm a fan. The first game is on Saturday at 3pm.

Here is the schedule for the series:
Detroit vs. Philadelphia
Saturday, April 23, at Detroit, 3 p.m. (ABC)
Tuesday, April 26, at Detroit, 7:30 p.m. (NBA TV)
Friday, April 29, at Philadelphia, 8 p.m. (ESPN)
Sunday, May 1, at Philadelphia, 1 p.m. (ESPN)
x-Tuesday, May 3, at Detroit, TBA
x-Thursday, May 5, at Philadelphia, TBA
x-Saturday, May 7, at Detroit, TBA
(x - if necessary)

I'm not sure if I would have rather played the Heat. We did good against them in the regular season, but you never want to face Shaq in a series. The Celtics would have been nice, but we are gonna have to deal with the Pistons. Hopefully AI will get some help and we can win the series.

Yeah, I was pretty pumped after that first quarter. I felt as if we could beat anybody. Then came the usual Sixers meltdown. They just can't keep up with Detroit inside. Hopefully we can play some better defense next game and not let up so many offensive rebounds.
