Who cares about the record, the Pistons are the best team iin the NBA right now best record or not.
If the east is "weak", what does it mean when eastern conference teams spank western conference teams home court or not, and on a regular basis at that?

You are right...their record sucks! Let's have the Spurs trade records with them!
Detroit is kicking ass and not even bother taking names. You have to respect what they have done.
Bring out the trolls!
Whatever....
Their record is really only impressive if you compare it to other NBA teams. When you stop and compare it to other completely unrelated statistics it's really not all that great. On my Playstation version of NBA Live '98 I guided the Spurs to a 77-5 record en route to sweeping my way to a championship. Roger Federer in his last 97 matches is 94-3. Jerome Bettis has 13,662 career rushing yards. Clearly 13,662 is much bigger than 35. Sorry Pistons fans, but what more proof do you need that their record isn't all that great?
Damn, the Pistons dismantled Kobe yesterday. That was impressive.
They are looking mighty unbeatable right now. Who the is going to give them their next loss? What is their upcomming schedule like, any serious teams?
If a 19yo white girl can do it, anyone canDamn, the Pistons dismantled Kobe yesterday. That was impressive.

Not as easy as it seems. Lots of back-to-backs, which really hurt this team. And none of the teams on the 2nd game are bottom feeders. The only time the Pistons won "big" on the second of a back-to-back was at NYK. All of the other games have been dogfights. Though they've managed 8-3 in the 2nd of b2b's. I expect a couple losses in that strech.
i think they will be fine ;o. even if they struggle a bit, they are still set.
Who cares about the Pistons record. Give em home court all the Spurs will need to do is win one on their floor and defend home court. Thats iff they dont get smacked by Miami or Cleveland.
Hmm, you're right, it does seem easy when you look at it at first. I think the reason is, there's really just not that many good teams this season in the NBA. I think they'll have trouble against the Clips, Miami, Nets, and the last Cleveland game. Even if they manage to lose 3 or 4 of those games, they'll still have under 10 losses for the season!
I didn't read the whole thread, but assuming this Pistons team isn't as good as the '95-96 Bulls, wouldn't being in the top 5 teams in NBA history qualify as "impressive"?
36-5 is unimpressive?
I thought we had some homers.
Whoa
36-5? very impressive. especially the two lopsided wins over the defending champs.. hopefully we will be back to defend our le in June..
Clearly the Pistons aren't that great. So they're 37-5. Whooptee-doo. That was against the weak Eastern Conference.
What? They've played more games against the West? OK, correction: that was against the weak Western Conference.
The Spurs meanwhile, have had to play that tough compe ion in the Western...
Umm...
Forget that. I bet if the Spurs played the Pistons head-to-head...
Umm...
OK, I've got it: the Pistons aren't that great because the whole rest of the NBA sucks, including the Spurs. The league was really tough last year, when the Spurs won it all, but it sucks now. Don't ask me why. I don't even know why I'm bothering to post here. When does Canadian football start?
Actually the reason the Pistons are playing better is because of weather. Look at the NFL. In the last few years cold weather teams are extremely successful. The Broncos, the Patriots, the Steelers, the list goes on. And Detroit is farther north than any of those! I think the NBA needs to redraw the division lines along lines of la ude. The 2007 Finals will feature the 53rd Parallel Pacers vs. the Tropic of Cancer Kings.
8 game win streak in November.
9 game win streak in December.
11 game win streak in January and counting.
Very impressive.
Edit: Tlong, you beat me with your post ... I'm laughing at the ones before you...
Pistons are the team to beat in the Eastern Conference but all roads to the le go right through the Spurs because they are the defending champions. The team who beats the Spurs 4 times in 7 will be the champions.
I disagree. I think the mavs will beat San Antonio and than lose to Detroit.
Sounds like you're saying the Spurs won't repeat.
I wouldn't go that far.
thinking doesn't seem to be your strong suit.
