Spurs started 2-5 without Manu or Tony. Biased he might be, but there's also the facts.
Last I checked, Curry was still running that Mickey Mouse roadshow. How the does some random 6 game win streak translate into being able to come out of the East or beat the Lakers? Delusions of Grandeur.......the avatar fits.

The Pistons have beaten the Lakers (in LA), the Spurs (in SA), the Cavaliers, the Magic, the Nuggets (at Denver) all with Iverson in the line-up.
The Pistons have the talent to challenge most of the top teams except maybe the Celtics. The problems with coaching, effort, chemistry, among other things, have made for a very poor season compared to what was expected of them.
They are not elite because of a lot of things. But, they very likely aren't as bad as they had been playing before the last few games.
Those "facts" don't mean the Spurs are elite. They don't anymore than the fact that the Pistons have beaten basically all of the top teams in the league with Iverson in the line-up.
I didn't relate their 6 game win streak to them being able to come out of the east dip . Did you actually read my entire post or just skim over the part of it you wanted to attack?
Everyone is putting too much blame on Iverson as far as the Pistons woes, my post was to point out they had their biggest win streak of the season with Iverson in the lineup when Rip was injured, so now to suggest they are winning because Iverson is not in the lineup is ridculous at best. Curry as I have said is much to blame, its clear the players are not behind him and his system or lack thereof.
Lol
Subpar, they've beat the Spurs, Lakers, Cavs, Boston, Denver, Lol. What is subpar is Curry. That is all.
Take off the homer glasses.
Bump! For the folks continuing to discount the Pistons as elites...that's 4 wins in a row as they dominated the Warriors in impressive fashion. This team is for real and they are a serious darkhorse in the east. Celts/Cavs look out!! Go Pistons!!!
Stop it. They're not elite. Beating the Warriors by 20 surely doesn't place them upon a pedestal. Nor do 3 other measly wins against teams missing key players. We're getting better. We're looking more like our old selves. But that's it.
Looking like our old selves means being back to elite status. You stop it.
spurs dont count as elites.
they are pretenders
only spurs fans believe their elites.
Warriors without Stephen Jackson, Monta Ellis, Andris Biedrins, Corey Maggette, and Kelenna Azubuike.
Are you being serious or are you this much of a naive fanatic?
Pacers have done something along those lines too.
True enough. Pacers won't be in the playoffs though.
Bump! Elites beat themselves at times which is exactly what the Pistons did tonight. Just wait till AI returns as our 6th man.
Stop bumping this foolish thread.
AI as a 6th man.
Bump! Another quality win this time with no Sheed or AI. And people still say this team isnt elite? Keep on doubting the Pistons.
Spurs aren't elite.
They've gotten a decent record despite the injuries, but their defense is still inconsistent. Even the D hass improved somewhat in the last couple weeks, I think the Spurs are running out of time to get their defensive rotations crisp.
, Pop doesn't even have a set rotation and the playoffs start next month.
I'm more doubting the Magic against the Pistons than anything. Right now that's the 3-6 matchup in the East playoffs. I don't think anyone in Orlando wants anything to do with Detroit in a series.
The same can easily be said about the Celtics/Cavs. I think those 2 teams somewhat fear facing us in a 7 game series. It took Lebron/Gibson playing at an all time high level to just get past the Pistons 2 years ago. The Celts needed injuries to the Pistons to just get by in 6 games. The Celts are worse than a year ago and the Cavs are the same team as that 2007 squad. I dont think people realize that we are right there with the best of them.
I would say thats a pretty safe assumption.
You need to remove the homer glasses. The Cavaliers are WAY better than they were two years ago. That team had humps like Damon Jones, Eric Snow, Larry Hughes and Donyell Marshall logging major minutes. And if you think Cleveland has any fear of Detroit in a series, you're crazy. Respect? Sure. Fear? GMAFB.
Bump!! 113-86! Holy ! I think this team has finally turned it around. The injury bug was hurting us but we got passed it and we are going to the playoffs as a dark horse! BRING ON THE CELTS OR CAVS. BOTH ARE OVERRATED AND VERY BEATABLE!
