Look out for the Sixers.
They are young, can run with anybody, and match up better with Detroit than they would have against Orlando. Andre Miller (one of the most underrated point gaurds playing) is the captain of the ship, and they all seem to be jelling around him. If my man Roscoe doesnt show up this series, the Pistons could be in REAL trouble. They definitely have the 6ers in the experience dept, which could prove costly.
Things are only going to get better for this team. Thaddeus Young and Rodney Carney have promising upsides. One more solid big man and they will be perennial post-seasoners.
Mo Cheeks turned this team around, a team that was expected to finish in the bottom percentile of the league. He'd be my candidate for Coach of teh Year if Byron Scott wasnt having so much success witht the Hornets. Big props to both of them.
