I posted earlier that it was do or die for the Sixers tonight, and they got killed. The Pistons won Game Six tonight in dominating fashion, 100-77, and ended the Sixers' season. Detroit wins the series 4-2, and the Sixers now go into the off-season looking for more parts to help them build for a championship down the road.
The Pistons commanded the game from the outset, building an 18 point lead after the first quarter and they simply coasted from there. They made nearly everything they shot on the night, finishing with a 67% shooting percentage, and forced the Sixers into taking bad shots themselves. Philly finished the night shooting an abysmal 33% and looked completely lost as to how to do anything against the Pistons offensively or defensively.
This was an awful way for an otherwise impressive Sixers season to end.

Hats off to a good season for the Sixers. I think they surprised everyone by even making the playoffs. To bad they had to go out the way they did tonight.

props to the Sixers for playing hard despite the lack of talent

The Sixers season could come to an end tonight. With the team down 3-2 to the Detroit Pistons and Game 6 coming tonight in Philadelphia, the Sixers will need to play their best game of the season if they want to stave off elimination. They have surprised even the biggest Sixer fan out there with how they have forced the Pistons to play at their highest level to get past them, but...

No big first round upset this year. No trade demands, no coaching changes, and no depressing, reminiscent talk of Pistons' past. Yet.

C'Mon Sixers!!!
We are getting creamed, man! Wat the hell!
Well its over!!!
As you may know by now, the Detroit Pistons have put the Sixers away. I love how at the start of the game the Pistons came out giving it to them. It was really nice to see the Sixers fans on their feet at the end of the game even though it was a blow out. Billups said that it took them a second to get that flow going, to get their heads in the game. I hope that everyone is ready...

The Sixers may look back to Game Four and ask what could have been. The Sixers held a 10 point halftime lead over the Pistons only to watch Detroit come back and dominate them in the second half to pull out the win. Game Five was more of the same as the Pistons controlled the play, winning 98-81, and showed why they are the championship contender and the Sixers are merely first round...
