2008 NBA Playoffs. Detroit Pistons get into semis for the seventh consecutive year

Chauncy Billups and Richard Hamilton was well thought of playing the fool with the Philadelphia Sixers and turned serious to humble them. The rest of the series could end tonight.

Orlando Magic and is unrivaled, and this is not the Pistons another lifetime. Virtually the same block in recent years, Detroit was in Philadelphia at Wachovia Center to impose its law and into the conference semifinals. 100-77 in a match that was decided already in the first quarter when Richard Hamilton leads with 13 points to 30 for the Pistons, leaving Philadelphia at 12.

Conclusion: 4-2 to Detroit and Philadelphia becomes (in this case it is) for home. Richard Hamilton with 24 points and Chauncy Billups with 20 were the leaders of Detroit, while Andre Iguodala was the best of the Sixers with 16.

"Philadelphia has awakened us," the Pistons coach Flip Saunders.

The series will start this Saturday against Orlando. The NBA is no rest or to eat pipes, if you have to start a playoff without having completed previous ones, begins, which may be counterproductive in some sense for teams that win their series with authority, losing race pace (but more rested).

And tonight may be decided that the playoffs are in the air. If Utah, Boston and Cleveland will win their matches in round left in the lurch Rockets, Hawks and Wizards, respectively.
