I will keep this topic updated throughout the playoffs. I will update it with more in depth information once our first round opponent is 100% confirmed.

This topic will also be open for Playoff Discussion once the 2007 Playoffs begin.

 

Good Luck!

Good luck to you all in your playoff series against my Magic. I doubt you will need any luck to get through the Magic, but here's to hoping that it is a competitive series that has good officiating, no controversies and no injuries. Feel free to discuss the series on the Magic forum and I'm sure you will see an influx of Magic fans here on Detroit's board.

 

Yup, good luck guys! It should be fun and hopefully we get a really entertaining series. Like Gators said, feel free to drop by the Magic forum because you're more than welcome over there. May the best man win!

So who wins? Dwight, Tayshaun, Webber, Chauncey, Rip?

I don't know why I said that...

May the best team win!

 

Ok, I've updated with the player match ups, will update tomorrow with some more information, getting pretty late right now.

I've opened up the topic, so feel free to start posting about this series in here.

And Sheed.

 

Looking forward to a exciting series boys, best of luck.

 

I wish I could subtract 9 to Billups age number....Same goes with everyone.

 

So what are everyones predictions? I'll say we take this series 4-1

 

I retract my sweep prediction and will go with 5 games. I think the Magic will steal one when the Pistons are bored.

 

I'll say the Pistions in 5.

 

Magic in 7.

 

<div class="quote_poster">Swish Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Magic in 7.</div>


Because Jameer Nelson said so?

 

<div class="quote_poster">Swish Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Magic in 7.</div>

If the Magic win the series, it will be in 6, IMO. I can't see any young team like the Magic being able to handle the pressure of a Game 7 in Detroit.

 

<div class="quote_poster">Mercury Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Because Jameer Nelson said so?</div>

Because I'm a homer.

And Gators, I can't see the Pistons only winning 2 games so I made it 7.

 

Pistons in 4. Orlando is overmatched in every way. Dwight and Jameer are going to have to play out of their minds if Orlando has any chance of winning a game or two, let alone the series.

 

I'm going to say Pistons in Five. Were not a team that sweeps teams.

 

The Pistons in five.
