Have the Detroit Pistons clinched the best record in the NBA?

They have clinched the best record because they own the tiebreaker against San Antonio, having won both their matchups this season. So even if Detroit lose their last three games and San Antonio win their last three to tie on a 63-19 record, Detroit will get home court advantage if they were to meet in the finals.

This is a joke, right?  I mean, are you a pistons fan who wants to hear praise for your team or do you just not know anything about the NBA?  The Pistons are not "any good," they are awesome.  The best ever?  No one knows.  Rules have changed.  The compitition is tougher.  But the Pistons are the favorites to win the Championship.

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!

Pistons are a great team, but i dont think they're goin to win like how the Lakers did or dominate the game like the Chicago Bulls.\n\nPistons dont have the "GOTO GUY" that the Lakers did with SHAQ and KOBE or like JORDAN and PIPPEN of the Chicago Bulls.\n\nI mean of course the pistons have good all around players, but Chauncey Billups or Rasheed or even Tayshaun arent players you call dominating or even threatening. Dont get me wrong, they're phenominal players but they arent KOBE or JORDAN... that is what they lack to get back to back championships.

Dont quite think "Timmy is the Best" will do it for you.  Pistons will win it all and easily had the best record in Basketball, playing thier bench the entire last two games.  \n\nMr. Big Shot Chauncy Billups, Rip Hamilton, Tayshaun, and the Wallace tandem will take over the NBA Finals and win thier second championship in three years.

I think that everything points to a rematch of the 2005 NBA Finals. The Pistons have been dominant all season and are in many ways even better than they were under Larry Brown. The Spurs have one of the deepest teams in the NBA with the addition of Finley and Van Exel and are peaking at the right time. The emergence of players like Parker have helped to offset Tim Duncan's dodgy ankle.

I agree; in fact, I believe the Pistons are bound to win the NBA Finals this year. They have great depth, with Lindsay Hunter leading the bench. Their entire starting lineup is and has always been consistent. That loss to Cleveland on LeBron's 21st B'day is just a bump in the road. If the 2 teams played in a series, the Pistons should win that matchup.

As sad as it may be, I believe that the Pistons will win.  GO CLEVELAND!

I think the Pistons will win the championship. They played the best team basketball out of all the teams and wheather or not you like or hate them you have to admit that they are a magical combination of former outcast. They are one of my favorite teams in the league cause they are so consistent.

They are pretty hot but not as hot as those Detroit Pistons... I hope they don't get too hot or sunburned while on vaction, watching the Pistons on TV. I think they will be a force NEXT season.  I think they do well NEXT season. Very good, but not good enough. How bout them Pistons?

Detroit will win it because they will face the Spurs in the finals, and they have home court advantage this year so they will do better. And if they happen to play the Suns in the finals, they should kill them so easily. They could kill anybody really. Pistons didn't have the best record in the NBA for no reason.

The Pistons bench is way better than everyone gives them credit. Lindsey Hunter is there best defender,Antonio McDyess should be a starter on about every other team in the leauge, Tony Delk is fitting into their system quite well. Don't forget that each pistons starter is capable of playing two positions... \nBillups can play the 1 and 2\nHamilton Can play the 1, 2, even against smaller 3s \nPrince can play 2 and 3\nBoth Wallaces play 4 and 5 every night.\n\nThat gives them a power to manipulate the matchups they want.\n\nNot to mention home court

My favorite team in the NBA is the Detroit Pistons. They are my favorite basketball team of all times and I think that this year they will be the 2006 NBA Eastern Conference Champions and if successful, the NBA Champions as well.

The way things are going, Spurs-Pistons is going to go 7 games in the finals again. The Pistons are peaking more at the moment, but both teams show strong signs of being better than last year. This could be the best finals since Pistons-Lakers back in the days of Magic and Isiah.\n\nIn the end, I've got to go with the team with the best player, Tim Duncan. Spurs in 7.
