Predicting my Pistons to get swept?

lol...you really want me to answer that question?

another great article. Gotta do good with everyone to beat the hawks

Sure do. These sonsabitches are tough.

DAMMIT stop these teasers give us a game!

Wrapping up game 1 right now. And it's a close one! :fear:

Wolves-Spurs seems like the most interesting matchup followed closely by your series with the Hawks

Wolves would've had a great shot to make a run if Foye didn't do down with the injury. Granted, if they get by the Spurs somehow they still can...I just don't see it happening. A.I. isn't in his 20's anymore lol.

"This game was a roller coaster. We got out in front by double digits after the 1st quarter. Next thing we know, we are down heading into the 4th. That's the playoffs. Teams are going to make runs on you. It's about stopping the bleeding before too much damage is done." - Danny Granger

Danny Granger and Lebron James went straight at one another all night. When the dust settled, a late run by the Cavs would seal the deal at the Q.​

YOU FAGGOT MICHAEL!

Amazing stuff Mike. Hope you win it all!

Player Of The Game:

Danny Granger

Quote Of The Game:
"We obviously found soft spots in their offense and exploited those matchups. We've shut down Boozer so far this series which is what we knew we would have to do in order to be successful against them. Our reserves played for all of the 4th which is going to be big for us. Our starters should have plenty of energy as the series shifts back to Atlanta." - Pacers Head Coach Jim O' Brien
