I don't like the idea of the Pistons dropping the first two games of the Eastern Conference finals on the road. Even though their past two series say otherwise, I don't think the Pistons will be able to play from behind vs. the Celtics.
The Celtics are too good defensively, and it looks like with Billups nursing that leg injury, the Pistons will be offensively challenged. Combine these two factors, and you have a Pistons' failure.
On the other hand, the Celtics have felt heat from their fans because of their struggles in the first two rounds. Here's a link to what's bothering the Celtics' coach, Doc Rivers:

Now, if the Pistons can win tonight -- and that's a big, big if -- I'll stay with my pick: Pistons to reach the finals. Otherwise, it'll be over for them in six. The Billups injury is more of a factor than I first thought.
