deep breath.....ahhhhh..

OK, now they got it goin.

I think the long rest for Orlando will hurt them since they are a young team.

It's easier for the "older" more experienced teams to have a couple nights off but we'll see what happens.

Lets go Stones!!!!

(now back to GTA)

Howard is a beast that is the guy we have to contain, Rashad Lewis is a scorer and Turk can shoot his lights out, those are the three we have to be aware of. The big advantage the Pistons have is that Orlando has no gaurds to match up with Billups and rip, so we should be able to take the upper hand there.

    As for the rest I don't believe it will hurt or help Orlando , but I do know that the Pistons shouldn't be worried about how much rest Orlando got or didn't get and just worry about handling the Beast (Howard) and getting past the Magic.

     Pistons in 6 .... DeeeeeeeeeeeeTroit basketbaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllll

This is going to be a great series to watch...Pistons will pull it out in six games over the young Orlando Magic. We have too much experience and depth over Orlando to blow this series. Dwight Howard will have a few great games but in the end...Rasheed Wallace will contain him when it matters most. Look for Chauncey Billups and Tayshan Prince having big, big games in this series.

NBA Playofff Basketball is Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!
