The Detroit Pistons are not expected to win this game and all odds are against them tonight, but with a great defensive team like Detroit, I don't think the Magic stand a chance. From the beginning of the series, Magic have not looked comfortable at all especially at the Shooting Guard and Point Guard position, as Hamilton and Billups have really shown their Playoff experience.

The Pistons are surely reminding me of the San Antonio Spurs as they have in the previous seasons, take it easy through out the year, towards the end give their guys a lot rest, and when it comes to the playoffs take on the real game. The Magic played with really high intensity throughout the year, and the exhaustion is slightly showing on them especially on Lewis and Turkoglu, who have been the main stay for the Magic.

Converting on Free Throws has been an area of weakness for the Magic through this series shooting only 65% and majority coming on D12, but the Pistons on the other hand are shooting 88%, showing their intensity to get to the line and convert on those chances, and come playoff time, in series like this, it is essential to make as many as possible, especially when your on the road, and I am sure Detroit will continue to do this.

I am very damn sure that Detroit should take this game, but if not, the next game is almost a certainty that they will take it.
