Pistons eliminate Magic in five
There’s been a lack of activity on my part over here today and last night (not that it’s stopped any of you), but that’s in part because I’ve been pretty active on FanHouse. Here are some highlights from last night: Flip Saunders on Chauncey Billups taking his time…

Opting Out a Pipe Dream
