oh yeah, best record in the league. Leading to homecourt throughout the playoffs. The east is no competition for the pistons other than the hot nets and the aging heat. The championship series is between Spurs and pistons and Flip Saunders added a better offensive force between the starters of detroit and they still have a devastating D. Not to mention a better bench than the last two years. Spurs get ready to lose in six games.

Detroit Pistons, El Loco Bohn.\n\nBecause of the Fantastic Five, the best starting five in the NBA:  \n\nChauncey Billups (2006 NBA All Star, 5th place MVP, All NBA 2nd Team, All NBA Defensive 2nd Team, 3rd in assists and 4th in FT percentage in the NBA in 2006, 2004 NBA Finals MVP) \n\nRichard "Rip" Hamilton(2006 NBA All Star, 1st in the NBA in Three point shooting percentage in 2006) \n\nTayshaun Prince ( All NBA Defensive 2nd Team) \n\nBen "Big Ben" Wallace (2006 NBA All Star, 2006 NBA Defensive Player of the Year, Only NBA Player in the Top ten in Rebounds, Blocks and Steals in 2006, All NBA 2nd Team, All NBA Defensive 1st Team) \n\nRasheed Wallace (2006 NBA All Star).\n\nLet me add that the Pistons are the only team left in the playoffs that has won a NBA title (3).

sexy_gemini90,\n\nThe NBA is all about matchups and timing.  It appears that Miami caught the Pistons just when they were at their lowest point of the year.  They suffered injuries for the first time, Rasheed and Rip Hamilton both had ankle sprains.  Billups and Ben Wallace were banged up.  The Pistons set a NBA record this year for starting the same starting five for 73 games this year!  \n\nNow it appears that Dallas is playing at its peak.  Stackhouse, Harris and Howard were all hurt at various times this year and now they're all healthy.  It appears, at least for the time being, that Dallas is staked loaded and ready for Miami.\n\nBut as a Pistons fan, I know this series isn't over until the games are all played out.  Let's stay tuned.

their star player is Lebron James.  I think they just depended on him to bring them back on a day when he wasnt feelin his best.  sure they have Ilgauskas but he cant do much without team support and most of that was goin to Lebron.  and bein at detroit really didnt help like you said but i dont think it was a set up.  the pistons were ranked #1 so i wasnt really expecting them to lose no matter where they played.

Pistons crush Bucks in the climax of a soon to be record breaking series.

the lakers isnt a team any more its just Kobe and coach phil jackson, and they are still the only team that won 3 straight in a long time what about the pistons?

The only team possibly standing in the way would be the San Antonio Spurs.  I really think the Pistons are the best TEAM in basketball right now, and barring injury, no one, even the Spurs, can take them in a 7 game series.  I think Flip has done an even better job with them than Larry Brown.

I think you need to edit your question.  It is very confusing.  A better place to post this kind of question may be on the message boards at www.pistons.com  Good luck!

Detroit will bounce back and attack seriously. Joe Dumars need to get up and start looking for some role players. Because Detroit only used 8 players. Come on. You got to have a deep bench or a bench that is solid like the Bulls had back in there championship days. Because them boys were tired. LeBron and the Cavs ran them boys. Miami is LUCKY that they had a tired Pistons team to play against. You can look at those games and see them boys were tired. Chauncey Billups, Ben Wallace, Rip, and Rasheed they were tired. Why you think TayShaun Prince was scoring so much and plus Rasheed didn't Guaranteed a win in this series when they were down. COME ON. Rasheed made his guarantee against the Cavs and won, last year against the Heat and won, Pacers and won, 2 years ago against the Pacers and WON. You know they were tired. they are not sweating this lost. Miami is LUCKY TO DEATH. Because if they were to face a Healthy Detroit Pistons, ready to go boys. Oh we would be seeing Dallas and Detroit going at it. Detroit is coming back so Miami get ready to face the real Detroit PISTONS.

HELL no! \nI'm from MI, but currently live in Cleveland, so I can't decide who to root for...but then again I don't care. I do have tix for Game 4 in Cleveland though. Should be a blast! \n\nThe first game was downright embarrassing for the Cavs, but the second one was better. I think they might be able to win one game, but definitely not the series. The pistons are the best team in the NBA after all.

I'd have to say the finals will be a repeat of last year.  Pistons vs Spurs, with the Pistons winning this time... in 6 games.  Watch out for the dark horses:  Miami and Dallas.

I would go with Pistons v. Mavs in the finals and go with the Pistons in 6.  The Pistons took Browns D and added Saunders scoring and offensive mindset and created one of the most complete teams in the NBA in recent memory.  I think the Mavs will make it because they have an easier road (given that the suns beat the lakers) and they have a tremendous home court advantage.  They were also able to beat Memphis quickly and that has given them time to rest before the next series.  Also, Dirk poses a multiple threat with his versatility on the court and Johnson has shown to be a great coach.  In the end, I think that the Pistons will be too much with too many weapons on both offense and defense. That is what I would bet on.  Personally I would like to see the Kings and Pistons but that seems highly unlikely.

Are you kidding, do you honestly think the Cavs can win in detroit? The Cavs have James...wow 1 star player, Detroit has Prince, Wallace, Wallace, Billups, and Hamilton. 5 star players, plus their bench rocks. F*ck the Cavs, you all KNOW they are going to lose in Detroit, even if comes down to the 7th game, Pistons still have home court advantage, and they don't lose at home, and they have the best record to show for it!

Go Pistons!!\nJames is good but not enough. People like him cuz he's still young and he's good. But not enough. Piston will win the series 4-1.\nSpur will have their A$$ whipped by dallas.
