Pistons have 3 tough games coming up, Spurs, at Indiana, then they travel to Minnesota. Those are 3 elite teams in the NBA. If Pistons take all 3 and increase there win streak to 15, then they would be my pick to win the finals, and my opinion is not in any way biast.
The game against the Pacers is by far the biggest game.Pacers are just ahead in the standings,Carlisle facing his old team,Pistons already down 2-0 in the season series,can't afford to go down 3-0 and therefore lose the head to head.

It'll be defense against defense. I have a feeling that Indiana will take them out though. They seem to have the offensive upperhand.
If the Pistons beat the Pacers, I'll be happy. I don't really expect them to beat the T-Wolves, being they are one of the league's elite teams. The Pacers were really at the same level as the Pistons when the season began, so now this will be a test of whether they have really improved enough since the two teams' last meeting to be the best in the East. Tomorrow's game will be the second in two days for the Spurs, and they will have just travelled there from Boston, so they'll be tired. That's what I'm counting on for the Pistons to win.
Big Memo, I'm counting on them to win also. They have all the confidence and momentoum, and like you said, the Spurs are tierd ya know. I've never been to a Pistons gave in wich they've won...I hope they don't let me down tomorrow vs. the Spurs.
I was hoping Boston would be able to come back and make the game go into double overtime to tire out the Spurs. Too bad it didn't happen. I think the Pistons can win, you will be seeing my preview for the game later today since the game is pretty early tomorrow. The Pacer game is the most important standing wise, it would help us move up and it would allow the possibility of the series ending in a 2-2 tie.
Spurs won't be tired - they annihilated the Celtics and toyed with them. Charlie Ward may have had his feelings hurt at the end, though. Anyway, I think the Pistons will go 1-2 on this road trip. I'm actually wanting them to beat the Pacers, but either way, their win streak ends here.
What do you mean by road trip? Only 2 of the games are on the road? I know that the Spurs won't be tired, that is why I'm dissapointed. I think they can beat the Spurs, and then one of the other two teams (hopefully the Pacers) and go 2-1 on this stretch of games. That would mean that it would not only be the longest winning streak in history for the Piston's but that we would also gain on the Pacers in the standings.
Ah, well, didn't notice that part. I'm betting on the Spurs to take it, though. Ben Wallace is now playing the Power Forward position, correct? That pairs him with Tim Tim...
Yeah, Ben is playing the PF. He should be on TD and therefore Ben should be able to limit Duncan's production. My whole point is that it will be a very good game...that the Pistons will win!
