Don't like the match-up despite the Sixers playing them well this season. Detroit is too experienced and just more talented. I think Detroit will be able to slow down the game and take away the Sixers' strength on offense and the Sixers half-court D isn't strong enough to get the consistent stops to speed up the pace. I think the lack of a legit scorer will hurt them, I just don't think Dre is that guy, and you need that in the playoffs.

I say it goes 5, Sixers steal one at home with a poor shooting game by Detroit.
