Detroit became the first team to go up 3-0 in this playoffs as they beat the Magic as expected. Dwight Howard had some ferocious dunks as always, but they are no match for this Pistons team. They are real good and C-Webb is making them even better. He had 15 today to go with Prince's 23 and Billups's 21. The game was tied after 1, but the Pistons won each of the next 3 quarters to blow them out. They will probably end this series in 4. For the Magic, Jameer Nelson had 27 and Howard had a double-double with 11-12.
I saw something in Utah that you may never see again. Only 4 guys scored for Houston in the entire game. None of their bench guys scored and Chuck Hayes didn't score either from their starting 5. Utah bottled them up at home and the won an ugly game with the Rockets scoring just 67. T-Mac had 24 and Yao had 26, but they were playing 2 on 5 most of the night. Booze led the Jazz with good shooting and a 22-12-4 night. AK-47 and Okur were non-factors again but the Jazz survived with their defense. Deron Williams played good as usual with a 11-7-8 night.
The Lakers rebounded and stunned the Suns. Read all about it in the Suns playoff notes.

Playoff schedule for 04/27/2007
Toronto @ New Jersey - The team that wants it more should win this one.
Chicago @ Miami - If I am the Bulls, I am thinking we win this and we are done.
Dallas @ Golden State - The Oracle arena should be buzzing for this one. This one was 13 years in the making.
