Game 1: Pistons dominate

Game 2: Lakers win a close game.

Game 3: Pistons dominate, then dominate some more.

I think I see where this is headed. I've been thinking that for all the superstars the Pistons lack, they're a stacked team. You've got both Wallaces, Billups, Rip, Tayshaun Prince, plus some size coming off the bench. These guys have basically outplayed the Lakers at every position, plus they play better team defense.

Now it's a question of whether Detroit will win both of their home games and end the series. Nobody doubts that they can, but the question is, will they do it? Personally, I think it's more likely that the Lakers will win one of the two, and take the series back to LA. It might be game 4, might be game 5, but I think the Lakers will win one.

So I suppose that's my victory scenario for the Lakers. They win one of the next two in Detroit, then sweep at home to finish the series. I think saturday's game will probably be decisive. If the Lakers don't come to play by game 4, they deserve to lose the series.
