The Pistons WILL make it to the 2ND ROUND and will goto the ECF TOO!!!
And if we play the Magic we'll just SWEEP them AGAIN!!!

Trust me the only teams in the East that is our compition is Chicago,and Boston.(in the playoffs)

First off, the Celtics are not "ECfs easy and maybe finals". The Celtics are certainly better than them. As ar the Cavaliers, and the Bulls. Then you add the Southeast division winner, who IMO will be Orlando, and the Pistons are down to the fifth seed in the East. They're not ECFs easy. It will be difficult for them to make the second round, because they don't have any low post prescense that will score, rebound, and play defense very well on the block. "we got better" Did you? Webber's gone, Rasheed is on the decline, which leaves you with no low post prescense. Come on, even the Warriors have some good players in the PF/C position.

The Magic are not a "one-and-done" team, I don't understand how you can say that at least, because the main core of our team last year was all under 25 minus Hill who we got rid of. We added one of the best perimeter scorers in the game, and we're seriously a contender in the East.

Stuckey a top 3 ROTY candidate? Please, you're better than Caliendo. Durant, Horford, Law, Conley, Brewer, Thornton, Young, etc. I'm just naming the rookies that will get plenty of playing time contrare to Stuckey, who is backing up one of the best guard combos in the league. Stuckey's a very talented player, I'm not gonna lie and say that he's not, but you're out of your mind if you think he's That good...

Have you EVER watch a Pistons game in your life? And what didn't you get about us getting Webber back later this season?

CC06 is just another person who hates on Detroit cuz it's Detroit he don't really have a clue how good the Pistons are.

If you think Azubuike is not a good SG, then Redick is?

Azubuike 06-07 season: 41 games 7.1 ppg playing behind Jason Richardson and Monta Ellis

Redick 06-07 season: 42 games 6.0 pgg playing behind nobody

Owned?

42 games 6.0 pgg playing behind nobody

Really? Are you that blind? Redick was slotted as the starter for the Magic at SG until he messed up his foot. He missed 20 games and slowly earned more PT until his back problems hit hard and he missed 10 more games. Really? Played behind nobody? Grant Hill and Keyon Dooling ring a bell?

Cavaliers? Do I need to remind you?

Sweep, that ring a bell to you?

By the way Lewis isn't going to fill a 4 game gap...

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Once again, stop shifting the topic to my team...

Anyways, the loss of Webber for you and the gain of Lewis for us would sure as hell give us a much better chance at a seven-game series for you...

 

[VC3]

Actually, I am not blind CC. Maybe I should ask you that since you have been ignoring my posts and have not had legit reasons. Heres a verbal warning to everyone, no more name calling. Otherwise I have to raise warning levels.

And CC, that is no way to talk to an administrator. Thank you.

HAHA TO BAD
Don't talk about my team at all then.

Webber has not yet decided that he will return to the NBA. All he said is IF he returns, it will be to the Pistons.

As for you StateOfMind, first off I don't know why you're an admin in the first place but anyways, I'm not gonna treat you any different because you're name color is different than mine. It's a message board, I'm not doing any harm.

Anwyays, I've proved my point. You can't tell me that Azubuike is a proven NBA player because he's played well in the NBDL, PSL, and Preseason. Just talk to me about it in the frcikin' regular season, I'm tired of arguing about dumbass <Censored>...

I love how you hate me for not agreeing with you when you give no valid points to your comments at all....

Who do you think you are, God?

You are really stupid, we are biased, look at you saying the MAGIC are contenders, that's literally the funniest thign I've heard all day. This may be a biased forum, but you are part of it. If you don't like it GTFO.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

How is that so biased? The East was a conference where every team was one good player away from contention. The Magic had the biggest free agent acquisition of the off-season, and the core of the team is very young and constantly improving. Most basketball experts understand that, why can't you?

Cause the Magic have ZERO bench, and an OK starting lineup, Shard isn't as godly as you think he is either. If he played in the series against us you would of won maybe 1 game, maybe still got swept.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

But what if Webber didn't play? Then we could have won 2, or 3, or 4 games. Remember, the series was won because of Webber's ability to contain Dwight Howard.

Anyways, Shard averaged 22.4 PPG, 6.6 RPG, and 2.4 APG. He gives us the constant outside shooting threat that we didn't have last season, as well as a slashing forward who can play both the SF and the PF. He's certainly better than anybody the Pistons have at the position...

Okay starting lineup? I see two flaws in our starting lineup. (A) Our perimeter defense, and (B) our PF position. A I think won't matter because we can just funnel the guard into the lane for DH12 to send their shot to the seats, and B Adonal Foyle is not a great player but he's not terrible and could do a good job in that role.

Zero bench? You've got to be kidding. Turkoglu, Ariza, Arroyo, Dooling, Bogans, Outlaw. As far as I'm concerned the Magic have just as good a bench as the Pistons. I can actually see plenty of similarities, I think the only difference is y'all have Maxiell and we have more quality SFs.

I'm done with this honestly, this is the dumbiest debate I've EVER had.
