It al looked like doom and gloom heading into the half time break in the first match if thise series before the 76ers finally started making some shots and won the game,an upset? Perhaps but not if you are in the 76ersas that is the 3rd win for them in Detroit from their 4 most recent visits there and the confidence they willl now have could set this series up to be alot harder than many thought at the outset.

As I mentioned in the first game of this series the Pistons starters have not been in good form for the last few weekes and are shooting at a very low clip right now,Wallace stood up in Game 1 but Billups,Hamilton and Prince did'nt and they had another average shooting night going for only 39% from the field and 78% from the freethrow line,I very much like the Pistons but i have been watching them for awhile now and they are not in the best of form and have'nt been for a while now.

The 76ers were great a while ago and could get back to that devastating form of which they were almost unbeatable not very long ago and that win in Game 1 will have them looking ahead with great expectation to this match and they have reason to do that,they have now won 3 of their last 4 in Detroit and the last two straight there,they are still getting great production from Miller,Igouldala and Willaims and will not fear playing the Pistons again today.

The 76ers have been shooting at a good clip for a while now or at least better than the Pistons have been and confidence and youth is something that should'nt be over looked at all,the Pistons will start this game and play to win and we all know how good they can be and should be a game better off in this series,but I am not going to discount the 76ers here and I think there is more than a sniff of a massive upset here in this series,Can the Sixers do it?? I put $100 on them at very good odds of $5.60 to win this series and if they can win another game today in Detroit then they are well on their way to doing so,but regardless of that I still think thgat this 10 points is far to much and as i said before the Pistons have not beaten the 76ers in Detroit by more than 7 points in their last 5 visits there...Take the 76ers with the start...Good Luck.
