I know the Western Conference is due for another series here, as I've been hitting the East pretty hard lately, but after the Pistons recent "Upset of the Century" over what I thought was probably the best top to bottom team in this thing, I know that every basketball fan in the nation is on the edge of their seat, wondering if they can continue their Cinderella run. It also begs the question, can it really be called a Cinderella run if everyone in the country hates you and wants you to lose? It'd be like if Duke made the NCAA tournament as a 16 seed and then managed to make it to the Final Four... It'd certainly fit the bill of a classic Cinderella team, except for the fact that everyone not associated with Duke would be rooting for them to lose. I'm not even sure what I'd call that phenomenon. Also, if the Pistons end up winning this thing, I may have to murder Isiah Thomas. Don't worry. I'm kidding. And if I'm not, I'll make sure to do it in New York so no jury would convict me. I can see the New York Times headline now: Isiah Thomas Murdered Over Mock Basketball Tournament; Statue of Accused Erected Outside Madison Square Garden. Anyway, lets get to the games, where I'll root for Michael Jordan as the lesser of two evils.

(#4) Pistons - (#1) Celtics Series
As a Lakers fan, I hate both of these teams. However, despite the hate, I at least have respect for the Celtics. It's almost exactly like, how, as a Nebraska Cornhuskers football fan, I want to beat the hell out of the Oklahoma Sooners every time we play them, but should we lose, I at least can say "good game" afterwards. Whereas I just despise anything to do with the Texas Longhorns (and, by extension, every other Texas school, but that's neither here nor there.) Now, I probably would save a Longhorns fan from drowning... but there'd be a slight moment of hesitation before I jumped in the water. Same goes for Pistons fans. (Side note: I just realized that the only team I say "we" about instead of "they" is the Cornhuskers. I don't know if it's because I've lived in Nebraska all my life, or if it's because I actually went to that school, but I don't do it with the Lakers or the Minnesota Twins. And I don't have a hockey team. (Side side note: Growing up in the Midwest miles and miles away from any sort of professional sports team - especially basketball - is strange. There's no home team to root for. Every kid just roots for whoever is good when they're young or they're dad's favorite teams - who were usually good when their dads were young. I did both - was a Suns fan until they traded Barkley, got pissed and swore them off, and started watching Lakers games with my dad. And I realize this should probably be its own article at this point.)) Anyway, my original point was going to be, despite me not liking either team, and hating one way more than the other, I promise I'm going to be impartial with this. If the Pistons win the whole thing, so be it. I can't see it happening, but if it does, so be it. On to the games!

(#12) Magic - (#4) Pistons Series
I don't really know what to say about this series. I don't like either of these teams. I mean in this tournament, not in general. Except the Pistons. I loathe the Pistons, as does/should every other lover of puppies and goodness/hater of evil/person not from Detroit. The only good thing about the Pistons since the 1980's (and I'm talking "good" in the sense of "good vs. evil," not necessarily good in terms of basketball skill) was Grant Hill. And the all-around general malevolence of the organization corrupted and destroyed the better part of his ankle/groin/knee/career. I'm pretty indifferent towards the Magic. Is it weird that the main thing I associate with the Magic is still Nick Anderson bricking free throws? That was like 15 years ago, wasn't it? Eh, whatever. Winner earns the right to get slaughtered by the Celtics in the next round.

(#13) Nets - (#4) Pistons Series
We've got our first real nail biter of a series here with the 13th seeded Nets and the 4th seeded Pistons. Here we go:
Game 1: Nets 90 - Pistons 105
Game 2: Nets 100 - Pistons 102
Game 3: Pistons 111 - Nets 94
Game 4: Pistons 114 - Nets 106
Game 5: Nets 110 - Pistons 100 (OT)
Game 6: Pistons 110 - Nets 118
Game 7: Nets 98 - Pistons 105
Our first seven game series, and was also the first time a winning team had 4 different "Players of the Game" (as determined by WhatIfSports... I don't pick those.) I wonder if that will help or hurt the Pistons in the long run, without one clearly defined dominant guy (like Kidd clearly was for the Nets.) Guess we'll find out. Their next series is against the winner of the Magic-Knicks series.
Game 1: Nets 90 - Pistons 105

Our first seven game series, and was also the first time a winning team had 4 different "Players of the Game" (as determined by WhatIfSports... I don't pick those.) I wonder if that will help or hurt the Pistons in the long run, without one clearly defined dominant guy (like Kidd clearly was for the Nets.) Guess we'll find out. Their next series is against the winner of the Magic-Knicks series.
