Even after the Game 1 debacle, few of us thought the Pistons would be down 2-1 to this upstart 76ers team. I thought the series might go six games because, face it fans, these Pistons are not quite known for their ‘Goin’ to work” ethic these days.
Sheed has been terrible and the guards not much better. Perhaps the team is finally too old for the playoffs in today’s NBA? Or are they overconfident, sure they can “flip the switch” when their backs are really up against the wall? Or has Flip finally flipped?
I was keen on this team through the regular season but I’m not seeing any glimmers of hope. Coaching has been mediocre and the team has just been apathetic at best. Let’s see if they can turn it around. If even they do, they’re going to find themselves tired out after a long first round series they should have finished off in four or five games.
