Nick Lahman/Getty ImagesDid anyone actually think the Pistons would lose to the Sixers? I will admit I was a little scared for them. The problem the Pistons face is that they seem disinterested and don't hustle and don't play defense. How much longer can they go playing like this? When they face a great team they won't have time to just turn it on and all the sudden play at a high level. The thing about the playoffs you have to come ready to play every night, because against a good team you won't be playing much longer. They got lucky now but I think these bad habits will eventually catch up with them.
I was thinking is it really Tracy McGrady's fault that he has yet to get out of the first round? We all know that he is a superstar but what about the supporting cast around him? You can't blame him for the teams lack of success in the playoffs. Also that team is not the same without Yao. However T-Mac in the first three games of the series had NO field goals and just one point. Thats ridiculous for someone with his talent. Knowing that makes it difficult to not blame him for his teams not being able to advance.

You hit it with the Pistons...and I think they're approach has hurt them the past couple years as well. They are a cocky team and think they can turn it on, then they lose. It's kind of funny really. With Tmac, it is partially his fault...but it's also his supporting cast. If you look at his numbers throughout his career, he actually has better numbers in the playoffs then in the regular season. I agree that someone with his talent should have at least won ONE playoff series but it is what it is. So what you got for 2nd round predictions? L.A. in 7 out west...Spurs in 6...Detroit in 7...and Boston [assuming they beat the Hawks of course] in 7- LeBron will get every call of course. Who you picking? Oh...how about my boy Kobe gettin MVP? About time!
