Philly Two Punch

Well, my boys the 76ers won Game One of Round One against Detroit. I really don't think they they'll win another game in the series because the Pistons will get their stuff together, but I would love for them to be able to. It was kinda funny when in Game One 'Sheed like literally went into the Sixer's huddle and started joking around with them when there was like thirty seconds left in a four point playoff game. I guess the Pistons just weren't taking them seriously enough and they paid for it. The thing is though, is that the Pistons are my second favorite team after the Sixers, and I really wanted them to go back to The Finals this year, and I would hate to see my hometown boys get knocked out in the first round in a Red Wings like playoff choke (i.e. 01 Kings, 03 Ducks, 04 Flames, 06 Oilers). I really do think that the Pistons will advance to the Eastern Conference Finals to play the Celtics in the all-hailed match up, despite the 0-1 hole they're in right now. But in other, and better, news, my Philly Flyers finally put away the Washington Capitals in overtime of Game Seven. Despite going up 3-1 in the series, the Flyers let it go to the seventh game, which proved to be a mistake, and pretty costly, though it thankfully didn't cost them their season. They could have been better rested then the Canadiens who had their own Game Seven, but instead the Fly Boys are just and tired as Team Canada. But really, despite Montreal being a one seed, I really believe that the Flyers can take the series and go to the Eastern Conference Finals the year after finishing dead last in the league. If they do beat Montreal, I don't really know how well they'll do against New York or Pittsburgh, but after that series one win, this season can already be deemed a success. The Wings and Av's series looks good too, and with the Sharks and Stars playing on the other side, I'm deeming this a "cool year." Mainly, that just where the conference finals will have cool teams, or teams that I like in them, not homo teams. As for the East, the Rangers are kinda gay, but I think overall we can deem this a pretty cool year with some new teams making the finals on both sides. As for the MLB, well, the Nationals are dead last in the league, and I gotta tell you, thats exactly what I expected. Thats about it now though dog. I'm out. Peace.
