The Pistons team to beat

[Big Bid'Ness]

And most importantly stay healthy.

Thats gonna be the main thing Houston need to worry about.

Stuckey averaged over 3 turnovers per game in college against mediocre competition.
Afflalo couldn't do anything against Brewer, who in the NBA is a slightly above average defender.
Hayes is injury prone.
Maxiell averaged 5 and 3 last season, not too impressive.
McDyess also isn't a great scorer off the bench, although accoring to Rip he's an all-star.

The Pistons will go as far as their guard combo carries them. They have Prince as a steady third option, but no post options to go to for consistent scoring.

They're not the best team in the East, nor are they even the best team in their division. Cleveland is the team to beat, get back to the Finals then we'll talk...

A team noone is talking about in the East a lot with Boston and Chicago and Detroit is Toronto again? I mean this team is only better now. Added more pieces in Kapono and another piece I forgot the name of for some odd reason. Also another year of seasoning for the Europeans and the young players on that team. I think they could easily have another performance like last years.

Maxiell didn't get that much PT, he will this season though. If you watched some Pistons games last season he looks like he'll be a good backup this season. Stuckey had who to pass it too? Stuckey isn't a point guard either. He is a Dwayne Wade type player, and no I didn't make that up. Hayes played 81 games last season. He can get us 8 points at least off the bench. Affalo won't need to guard the other teams best player.

Yes CC please explain how Hayes is going to be injury prone this season after playing 81 of them last year..

PG- TJ Ford / Jose Calderon
SG- Anthony Parker / Dixon or Delfino
SF- Jorge Garbajosa / Jason Kapono
PF- Chris Bosh / Andrea Bargnani

Carlos Delfino?

The Raps were in a <Censored>ty division last season. Boston is obviously better then them this season. The Nets and the Knicks could surpise some people this season. I'd put 6 teams ahead of them right now. Boston,Detroit,Cavs,Bulls,Heat and Wiz in no order.

Well rip last year was really his first full completed season of playing in 03-04 he played 70 games, in 04-05 he played 54 games and in 05-06 he only played 21 games but the other than that he is a good addition to the Pistons.

Plus I think this might sound crazy, but with all the foriegners on the Raptors already, and the style of play they run, I think Delfino can actually make a positive impact on that team. Not a huge one. But they play a very European style of basketball, and that is the style that got Delfino to the NBA.

Clevland is the team to beat BUT they are going to play there 1st 8 games on the road...And 6 games are against the West...

They won't get to the Con. Finals AGAIN!

And the Pistons will.(wheather we play Chicago or Boston) we'll still be there.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I'd put money on the Pistons not making the ECFs. You got PayPal, pugz?

[Pugz]

And you want to do it on the internet where we could get in some serius sh1t?

Cuz I will jst let me ok it with my g/f.

 

[bestkeptsecret13]

Nobody cares about you dumbass Detroit fans... Why do you even post topics like this, it's just pointless...

 

[MapleLeaf]

I'm going to laugh if an under-the-radar teams comes up and snaps everyone in the butt to win the East. Like some random team like Indiana or the Wizards.

 

[bestkeptsecret13]

Indiana is possibly one of the worst teams in the NBA... Washington on the other hand isn't half bad...
