Sixers Blow Out Pistons in Game 3

Many people may wonder where I have been for the first couple games of the playoffs. Well here's the truth, I've been in Jamaica in the warm sun cheering the Sixers on from afar yet not able to post. What we have going on right now is something amazing. The same Sixers that scrapped their way back from 12 games under .500 to make the playoffs, the same ones that people said would lose in 4 or 5 games to Detroit and who "didn't have a prayer" are suddenly up 2 games to 1. Not only that, last night they completely dominated the Pistons and crushed them. Now four members of this Pistons squad have played 85 playoff games TOGETHER. The Sixers have significantly less than that from most of their whole team. The key in this series so far has been the second half defense exhibited by the Sixers when it is needed. Dalembert has stepped up and contributed more so than expected as have players like Young and Evans. With Iguodala struggling from the field, they need a total team effort and that's what we're seeing here.

It's KILLING me to not be at the actual games since I have been to so many during the course of the year and watched this team grow but I will be at every one possible once I arrive home late tomorrow night. The question of course is: can the Sixers maintain this level of play and perhaps win this series? The answer is not certain but we need to remind ourselves, as has been stated several times toward the end of the year, that anything is possible with this team....anything.
