I'll take Pistons based on ...

I have only one thing to go on in picking the Pistons, and that's the struggle of the Celtics in the first two rounds. The Celtics needed two Game 7s to get to the Eastern Conference final? How's that again?
I haven't watched much of the NBA postseason, but I expected more from the Celtics. It appears the team cannot turn it up a notch, and Paul Pierce, despite his wonderful Game 7 vs. Cleveland, has not played up to par.
And I am very happy to see Lebron James on the sidelines. You'd think he had won 10 titles with all the pub he gets. C'mon, gimme a break with all the "King" stuff.
I like the Pistons' grit. They play great defense, have handled enough adversity over the years and seem to have peaked at the right time. They stumbled a bit vs. Orlando, but then ended up taking over, without an injured ChaunceyBillups for the last two games. They are rested. They are ready.
Pistons in SEVEN.
