NBA Playoff Pick: Eastern Conference Finals - Game 1
Now it’s time to get down to business. The Pistons and Celtics made it through the rest of the Eastern playoff field, and Tuesday night they meet in Boston to start their mutual quest for the coveted Eastern Conference slot in the NBA Finals. The Celtics have the hype, the Pistons have the experience. Will Boston live up to the expectations or do the Pistons have another title run in them? Tough questions to answer, but we’ll give them a try for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals Tuesday Night.
5/20/2008 - Detroit Pistons @ Boston Celtics
You’ve heard it before, “To be the best, you have to beat the best”, and that’s exactly what the Detroit Pistons are going to have to do to push themselves into the NBA Finals. Boston is incredibly tough at home. Combined with the ridiculous winning trend that home teams are having in the playoffs this year, I don’t see how you can rationally take the Pistons in Game 1. The game will be a good barometer for the rest of the series, particularly because Boston has the edge with 4 home games to Detroit’s 3. I think Boston has finally turned a corner. Instead of expecting to win, they have the confidence to win, and a chip on their shoulder to prove they are as good as everyone thinks they are.
