Citizen Kane: you are absolutely right; for a team with the second best record in the league, the Pistons have a nasty habit of playing down to their competition. It's a bit out of character of Pistons teams of recent years that were never prone to a mental let down. Kyle: Agreed. The brand of basketball in this year's playoffs far surpasses that of any playoffs in the past few years. As for the Rockets and Jazz--it looks like McGrady won't be able to exercise those first round demons just yet. It's near impossible to win in Utah--this series has already been decided.

Kyle: Agreed. The brand of basketball in this year’s playoffs far surpasses that of any playoffs in the past few years. As for the Rockets and Jazz–it looks like McGrady won’t be able to exercise those first round demons just yet. It’s near impossible to win in Utah–this series has already been decided.

I'm normally a much bigger college basketball fan, and while that's still the case I can't remember being this enthralled with the regular season. The parity in the West is really great for the game, and should carry over into the Playoffs. Speaking of which, great Houston - Utah game tonight! It’s only fitting this would be a great postseason.

The Pistons seem to play better when they are either not given much credit or are backed into a corner. For whatever reason, this team just doesn't ever seem motivated until they get themselves in a hole. Nice rundown.
