Now the Pistons will meet Dwight Howard’s Magic at the Eastern Conference semifinals, as Orlando eliminated the Raptors in 5 games, the first game of this series will be on Saturday.
This is the 7th straight season that the Pistons reached the second round of playoffs, and they are trying to make it different this year and go even further, since they have being taking out at this stage of the post season each of those years.
Yesterday Pistons players showed that they are ready for what is coming and Detroit Coach Flip Saunders couldn’t be more agree: “Philadelphia probably woke us up, over the last 10 quarters, we’ve executed as well as we can.” He said.
Richard Hamilton finished with 24 points, Chauncey Billups had 20 and Tayshaun Prince scored for 12 for the Pistons, who won 59 games in the regular season, second behind the Celtics, and Detroit is hoping to come up with their best basketball and show everybody why they are where they are now.
