    I think they'll be very beatable in the playoffs. They could make it to the finals but could easily lose in the second round.

    Welcome to the board, by the way.

    Pistons are very tough, and playing excellent ball right now. Their defense is what does it for them, obviously, but I see them having problems scoring at times. Obviously they didn't last night, but they will. Hamilton and Billups are big, sure, and I really like the addition of Arroyo and McDyess helps a great deal. But if Tayshaun Prince weren't coming along, this would be a team that would have serious droughts.

    As it stands, I think I'm picking them over Miami. If San Antonio doesn't get healthy, they may be in line for another championship.

    Agreed. The Pistons, while having a better record than last year, are terribly inconsistent. And they're clueless on 4th quarter offensive execution. The game against the Utah Jazz, where they had zero (0) field goals in the 4th quarter won't get it done in the playoffs.

    A dynasty, they are not.

    Really impressed with the growth of Prince. It'll go down to Detroit - Miami.

    I totally respect the Pistons and appreciate the way they go about their business. As much as I disliked the Bad Boys, a part of me roots for the Pistons to succeed, because they are very much like the Spurs in the way that they play the game. I appreciate that the Pistons and Spurs players seem to have a great deal of respect for each other. I do think they'll have some trouble with Miami in the playoffs, but they've proven an ability to get it done when it mattered most. They've started to play some really good ball. I only wish we could have seen the Pistons and Spurs at full strength yesterday -- I suspect the result would have been different.

    That's the way to go out on a limb, there, ducks.

    I think the Pistons have a better chance than say the Hawks, Bobcats, or Hornets, too.

    I like the Pistons a lot. They are Champions. The have excellent one-on-one players and play great team defense.

    Yesterday, they played out of their mind offensively. Delfino stepping back for the 20 footer and Arroyo knocking down 18 footers let the Spurs know they were in for a tough day. Miami and Detroit are both teams who execute well in the half court and could win the ring this season.

    The pistons have a monster team. I can't decide which team has more talent Spurs or Pistons. I hope they both make the finals, it would be a war.

    And yesterday it was Delfino, Arroyo vs. Beno, D Brown

    They are a great team, but I always wonder what would they have become if they had picked Wade or Anthony instead of Milicic.

    yep delfino played prety good for his 2nd game back after mising 50 if he can be a good player off the bench in the playoffs that would be great i realy like him by the time the playoffs do come he will be ready. ya it was great getting arroyo and he is going to be good off the bench but what people dont get is how good of pickup mcdyess was his turaround j in the post is almost unstopable great shooter and rebounder off the bench plus we got campbell back for people like shaq or duncan but those three guys off the bench mcdyess,arroyo and delfino need to play good if they do with are bigs like mcdyess campbell wallacex2 and are great gards i think we can win it again but for some reason i think mcdyess, arroyo,delfino, campbel or hunter is better than james okur williamson campbell hunter i think are bench is better this year than last.

    I liked how yesterday when the final buzzer sounded, both teams embraced each other with great respect for one another. You really don't see that from a lot of other NBA teams.

    well i truly belive if we would have taken wade,anthony or bosh we would not have gotten rasheed plus joe d says we like tayshaun at small foward.i like darko i can tell he has a future from the blowouts he has played in already it will still take a few years but larry will be leaving soon so he will get his chance.

    That's something that I've always thought about too. Denver had the second overall pick in the draft and could of taken anyone else like Carmelo, Wade, Bosh,............
    Can you imagine the starting line up had they taken lets say Carmelo or Wade. I often have pondered on that.

    Thank God the Pistons didn't pick Wade. Carmelo would have been a chemistry killer and butted heads with Brown until one killed the other. Darko doesn't impress me at all. Guy doesn't look like he has any basketball sense. The youngster for GS Biendris looks like 10 times the player that Darko is.

    yea but we wouldint have rasheed i would rather have him with prince and darko then have wade or melo with prince.cause darko will become a good player when he gets older.i sense he is almost ready from the difrence of play when he first got here to the last games he has played.

    Probably about twenty in garbage minutes. You seen Biendris?

    Wade is on his way to supers om. Darko? Journeyman. How do you figure getting Wade would have meant no Rasheed?

    Then you haven't seen him since he just started getting minutes. But he plays when the big boys play, GS is playing great and he's holding his own and then some.

    just from what i have heard in michigan it just sounds like we might not of got him and i dont think we were ever going to draft wade they said they liked bosh.
    which was suprising but he looks good now.
