With a few of the big sports I watch out of season (NFL, MLB), I have to keep myself busy in preparation for their upcoming seasons. Now, Basketball and Hockey are all the rage. Luckily, I live in Michigan, where both sports are fairly big.

So, here’s what’s going on with my teams this evening.

B-Ball

At 7:30 PM ET, the Detroit Pistons take on the Milwaukee Bucks. They are playing at The Palace tonight. Should be an interesting game since the Bucks have won their last two and the Pistons have lost their last three.

Other games you might want to check out:

Detroit Pistons and Detroit Red Wings both Advance in the Playoffs

Detroit Red WingsThe first day of May had both the Detroit Pistons and the Detroit Red Wings playing playoff games that would advance them to the next level. The Pistons played a 4-2 series in the first round of the NBA playoffs while the Red Wings swept the Avalanche in a 4-0 series in the second round of the NHL playoffs. The Wings previously beat Nashville in the first round.

The Pistons beat the 76ers 100-77. Their MVP was Chauncey Billups, who had played well the entire first round of the playoffs. Billups went 8 for 11 scoring 20 points. He had 3 rebounds and 7 assists. Choosing an MVP was a hard decision considering how well Pistons shooting guard Richard Hamilton played. In the first quarter alone, he outscored the entire 76ers team.

Hamilton hit his first five shots and scored a total of 13 points for the quarter. For the game, Hamilton went 9 for 14 scoring 24 points in total. He had 2 rebounds and 5 assists. Forward Tayshaun Prince also did his part making 5 out of 6 shots. He scored 12 points and had 7 rebounds with 4 assists.

The 76ers just couldn’t recover from the early assault by the Pistons who owned the game from the first moments of play. Their MVP of the game was Andre Iguodala. He only scored 16 points while Andre Miller scored 11. These were the top scorers for the 76ers who lost the playoffs at the Wachovia Center in Philly. This had to be a disappointing game to play at home.
