Pistons cruising, take 3-0 lead against Magic

Yaaaaawwwwwwn. Hey look, the Pistons won against the Magic again. Siiiiiiiiiiiigh. *Stretch* Amidst the balanced scoring of Rasheed Wallace, Chauncey Billups, and Richard Hamilton, perhaps the biggest surprise for Detroit was being lead by Tayshaun Prince with 23 points in their 93-77 win to take a 3-0 series lead.

Surprise for Detroit. Worse news for Orlando.

The Magic, the only team in the playoffs with a losing record (I would certainly hope so), never had a chance in the series, and their lackluster play in their first playoff home game since 2003 proved that they should not be in the "elite". Shooting a paltry 57% from the line is deplorable, and the Magic just look totally over matched at every position.

The Pistons are getting help from the bench and role players than what they would have expected; Chris Webber and Antonio McDyess have given solid play, and Prince always seems to step up his game around playoff time.

Now, really the only worry the Pistons have is whether they have to ready for a defensive standof against the Bulls or how to defend Shaq and the Heat.
