Yes your team has a good roster, and probably one of the best GM's the game has ever produced, but you also have a good, favoring coach. You're elite yes, but think, would you survive in the West? Yes, that makes your team good, but you cannot necessarily say you're the best, like most teams you have your flaws, but what about your consistency and your record.
The Nets are out this year man. The Pacers and the Pistons are just better on both ends. K-Mart and J Kidd also have some nagging injuries that are gonna hold them back from playing 100% basketball like they normally do. Indiana has a weakness that Detroit just put out on national TV, and that is Ron Artest and Jermaine O'neal. Get Ron in foul trouble and shut down Jermaine. No sweat for Detroit, because they have Corless Williamson who can raise hell for Ron Artest, and Ben Wallace who shows no mercy for Jermaine.
Yeah I think the pistons have a good chance this year. Even though Ben Wallace is an all star. Its not like hes hoggin the ball scorin all the points. What Im sayin is they have teamwork. No super stars just the team.
The Pistons are almost like a eastern confrence version of the Kings. Because of the way there team just well clicks they all work good together and if they make it to the finals I FEEL BAD FOR THE WESTERN CONFRENCE TEAM THAT HAS TO PLAY THEM
One win over the Pacers says nothing. That's one game, and the Pacers have been dominating the East all season. They own the season series, 3-1. The Pistons getting better does not make the Pacers worse. O' Neal is having an awesome year for the Pacers, Artest is behaving, and Carlisle is doing a great job with the team. It's close, but as of yet the Pistons haven't proved they can consistently beat the East's best teams.
That one win means alot if you ask me. That one win sent a message ALL UP IN RICK CARLISE'S LITTLE HEAD THAT THIS TEAM IS'NT THE SAME TEAM THAT HE HAS PLAYED BEFORE. Do you want a quote from him proving my point? Any Piston fan knows that that win on Sunday showed that the Pistons are not playing games with Indiana. The 3-1 series win means nothing compared to how big that win was. NO NEED TO GET ALL LOGICAL! ""This is a completely different team," said Indiana coach Rick Carlisle, who was fired in Detroit last year after two division titles in two seasons. "I'm hoping that we'll get in position to have an opportunity to get to play them again."" http://customwire.ap.org/dynamic/stories/B...EMPLATE=DEFAULT I could see if the Pistons won by like 2 or three points, but they shut down the Pacers completely sending a billboard sized message to the Pacers, saying, " YOU ARE NOTHING COMPARED TO US!!!" in big black letters.
the pacers are the best in the east. maybe by best u meant best defensively, because they are the best defensive team in th east, and they might even be the best in the nba. but they arent the best all aorund.
