The Eastern Conference Finals is now a best-of-three series for the right to go to the NBA Finals. So who has the advantage here? Is it the Celtics because two of the games are in Boston, or is the nullified because Detroit has already proven they can win there and the road team has won half the games in the series so far? Is it the Pistons because they have the advantage of playing together in the playoffs, or the Celtics because they have already played together in two Game 7's this post-season? Is it Boston because Chauncey Billups is not at full strength, or Detroit because of the struggles of The Big 3 (most notably Ray Allen but all of them in Game 4)? We are four games into this series and I can't figure out who has the advantage, and something tells me that prior to another Game 7 I will be talking about a one-game series with many of the same questions I have now. Prior to the series I thought Celtics in six.....now I'm thinking Celtics in seven. But, no question about it, I'm still thinking Celtics. I don't believe Detroit will be able to take two in Boston this series, and they dropped the ball by losing Game 3. And I don't think either team is capable of beating the other two-in-a-row. If that holds true to form it would be Celtics in 7...again.

FYI: If this does go 7 again I may have a heart attack before the game finishes either way. I felt like Fred Sanford during the Cavs Game 7.
If it does go 7 will they be the first team to play 3 games 7's in the same playoffs to make the Finals?
If they do go 7 in this series i think we'll be in for another against the Lakers cause thats who i picked from the West.
The NBA Playoffs only went to 7 games for the 1st Round in 2003, but since that time no team has made the Finals by losing more than 6 playoff games on their way there (3 teams). The C's have already lost 8, so it looks like they would already haave the record...or advantage Pistons, however you choose to look at it.
