AUBURN HILLS, MI (AP) --
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) - Richard Hamilton has gone to the
playoffs in each of his seven seasons with the Detroit Pistons.
They've reached the Eastern Conference finals each of the past six
years and won the NBA title in 2004.
Asked today if he thought Detroit could beat Cleveland in Game
3, Hamilton said (-quote-) "We ain't got a choice."
Detroit's streak of advancing to the conference finals will
essentially be over if it can't figure out how to beat LeBron James
and the Cavaliers at home tomorrow night.
Pistons coach Mike Curry sounds like he expects the series to
shift back to Cleveland. But the top-seeded Cavs won the first two
games of the first-round series by an average of 15 points and seem
simply unstoppable.
