    Do you think that Detriot has a chance of being the 2004-05 Champions with team like the Kings, Suns, Heat, and many others? They do have a shot, but nah, i'd say Kings win it all [​IMG].

    I think not. I would put the Spurs, Heat, and maybe Suns/Sonics above the Kings.

    Unless Detroit can make a drastic change they won't get out of the first round. The two Wallace's are acting like thugs and Hamilton is hurt. If they can get their team playing together they will have a legit chance of making the Conference finals.

    First round? did you forget the Pistons are in the east. As inconsistant as the Pistons are playing now no team around that 7th/8th spot can beat the Pistons in the playoffs. Those kind of teams at that area just aren't good enough.

    Pistons need to get heathly first off and then go on a run. I still firmly believe the only team who can beat the Pistons in a best of 7 series is the Spurs. Due to the coaching, depth, defense and overall balence of the team. Adding in Carlos Arroyo has given the Pistons more depth and a guy who can score and pass the ball. They will likely turn It on come playoff time, they have that abilty that not many teams have.

    I still believe Miami will beat the Pistons in the playoffs. Just my opinion.

    NO. that brawl messed up their chemistry. Plus i think they are having some problems getting along with one another. Theyve lost that killer instinct. BUt who knows maybe im wrong.

    I reckon Joe D messed up the chemistry by getting rid of the bench we used last season, ok I know he couldnt get Okur back, but we made up for that with Dyess. I dont see us making it to the finals this year, im still thinking a Phoenix vs. Miami final, but we will definatley make the playoffs at least, I dont see us going too far though, which is a shame.

    With Arroyo the Pistons bench is just as strong as It was last season, chemistry has nothing to do with the slow start. It is still as strong as ever. They still get along fine and have no problems with each other.
