    Pistons have been looking good lately. Their competition hasn't been very good lately, but they've beaten up on teams they should be beating up on. their intensity has been up and they've been playing hard (finally).

    A good test will be their next stretch of games vs. the Magic twice and Phoenix. Playing Phoenix will be a good litmus test to see if the Pistons are in fact, back to championship form.

    I wouldn't say the Pistons are back to championship form yet but they are playing better and are actually win games they are expected to win. Which didn't happen at the start of the season. The real test will be the Suns next monday, If they can manage to pull that one off then yes I would say the Pistons are back.

    8-2 over the past 10 games is a big improvement.

    I dont know about that Quick... I dont know if they need one they have Rip, Tay, Billups, and Sheed. Also that might mess up the chemistry. I think that they are finding out that it isnt that easy this year because they are the Champs and everybody is looking to shut them down.

    They have looked better lately. I like how they have been sharing the ball and they have been doing a better job of looking to the post and trying to get into the paint instead of firing of a long jumper. They are still struggling to keep their focus for the entire game. That killer instinct isn't all the way back yet. We still will have stretches were we get sloppy and turn the ball over and as LB has been harping on in the press, The Pistons aren't putting teams away. We get a sizable lead and we let up.

    Beating a Phoenix Suns team with Nash would've proved it for me.

    If having a great starting 5 and a poor bench means you suck, what does that make your team? I would hate to imagine.
