Jeff's First Round Series Prediction: Detroit in 5.

Nick's First Round Series Prediction: Despite losing 5 of their last 6 games, the one game Philly did manage to win down the stretch was against Detroit. They split the season series with only a 5-point differential. The Sixers will play the Pistons close and tough, but they will still fall short. Pistons in 6.
