...and get swept in the first round

 

[dubbsco]

Don't even care if they get swept. They've been out of the playoffs for too long, getting back is a huge step.

And Cleveland won't sweep them. Pistons lead 2-1 in the season series, no evidence as to why they'd just get run out of town.

 

[greenbeerd]

They may get swept because they are coming in looking fairly weak, Reggie is not playing well, nor is the bench unit.

Cleveland's on the verge of coming unglued. You steal game 1, and that whole thing could unravel.

This article does nothing to change the fact that Cleveland's in bad shape with their chemistry. Really bad shape. I'd much rather see them than Toronto.

bad chemistry in the media...not on the court. They are 15-5 in their past 20 games.

The Pistons have no chance vs. the Cavs in a 5 or 7 game series.

Still don't see why you feel that way. They've handled them twice in the season, I think the Pistons match up really well with them. They'd go 6 IMO, maybe 7.

James has been sleep walking through the regular season. He hasn't been playing defense at all. The regular season means nothing come playoff time.

If they get in it would be nice. Even getting swept wouldn't change the fact the season was successful.

absolutely. SVG has done magic with a terrible roster situation and built a very respectable core.

Are we in with a Bulls loss?

With us winning tonight, I believe we are in with a Bulls loss. If rather clinch at home on Fri though.

 

[biggunsbob]

Yup a piston win or a bulls loss and it's playoff hoops !!!!

 

[@Stakesarehigh]

looking forward to the cavs honestly.

Sweep or not.

if somehow they pulled off the insane it would make up for 2007

 

[biggunsbob]

I think there could be a problem if we lose out and the wizards win out even if the bulls lose a game? If that happens both teams would 42-40 and I think we would lose tiebreaker.

The magic number is one. They say. Washington definitely owns the tie-breaker on head to head.

From here though it says magic number is 2..

Ah. I guess the magic number of one could mean win, or losses from Washington and the Bulls.
