Detroit blew a 13-point halftime lead in defeat to Philadelphia on Sunday. The key to victory for the 76'ers was that "never say die" attitude the 76'ers possess like we commented on during our game 1 preview. Philadelphia came out strong during the third period and cut at 13 point Piston lead to 5 in 2 ½ minutes and came away with a victory. The 76'ers are solid underdogs because of the will they possess on the court. They rotate well on defense and help one another, they are active on the boards and don't give up rebounds that easily to opponents. Those are intangibles that don't show up on the stat sheet. Andre Miller is a crafty veteran who we felt would not feel the pressure of running the point in enemy territory. We are looking at another grinder in the fourth quarter here because Iguodala, Dalembert and Reggie Evans are going to make the Pistons work hard for every point in the paint and every board in this game.
