Sixers must click on all cylinders to beat Pistons
By TOM MOORE

If there was one team Andre Iguodala
didn't want to face in the first round
of the NBA playoffs, it was the
Pistons.
Hello, Detroit.
Monday night's controversial 91-90 home loss to the Cavaliers, coupled with
the Raptors' win over the Heat, ensured that the Sixers would finish with the
seventh seed and draw the No. 2 Pistons in a best-of-seven series beginning
this weekend.
“Detroit's, by far, in my opinion,
the best team in the East,” Iguodala
said after the game. “In order to beat them, you've got to play
perfect.
It's going to be a challenge for us to go out there and try to play to
perfection.”
While Iguodala realizes the NBA-leading Celtics have a better record than the
Pistons, he said Detroit's experience and familiarity — not to mention five
consecutive trips to the Eastern Conference finals — make Flip Saunders'
team a most difficult opponent.
“I don't think that matters,” Iguodala said. “They're the type of team
that can turn it on, turn it off at anytime. This isn't the first year
they've been good.
Boston, this is the
first time they've had a great year in
a while with that group.”
Samuel Dalembert echoed those sentiments.
“Detroit is such a great team,” Dalembert said. “You just have to watch
out. Those guys have been in the playoffs many times before. Nothing fazes
them. It's
scary to play against that team.”
While the Sixers (40-41) still have to close out the regular season tonight
in Charlotte, the only thing they'll be playing former Hatboro-Horsham
standout Matt Carroll and the Bobcats for is a .500 record.
They've already begun turning their attention to Detroit, which might be the
most balanced club in the league. The Pistons have
four players averaging at
least 13 points with ex-Coatesville High star Rip Hamilton (17.5) leading the
way.
“We've got a lot to be excited for,” coach Maurice Cheeks said. “I know
it's going to be a tough road against Detroit — we understand that. All year
we fought our way. We're getting ready to play Detroit and we're going to
fight again.”
