I would have to agree with you 100%! It would be a fantastic series to watch, and honestly? I think any team that wants to BE the best should have to PLAY the best, too! I think this year it is going to come down to the Spurs and Heat, but it isn't a SURE THING, and I think that only adds to the fascination! The only teams that have been contested in these playoffs are the teams that have played the Spurs, and the teams that have played the Pistons. The scary part? Those two teams are STILL standing...! What will happen next? No clue! But I DO have a feeling it will be San Antonio and Phoenix in the Conference Finals...! =)

I think that Detroit can do it.  Look at the previous playoffs that the Pistons were on.  Last year, they were down 3-1 against Miami...and Detroit came back and won.  Two years ago, they were down to New Jersey 3-2...and Detroit came back and won.  Both years they got to the NBA Finals, and won one of the two (they should of won it last year).  I have faith in the team, but they just have to play reagular Piston ball--use their defense....they have always been a defensive team.  Also, Wallace needs to stop making his guaren-sheed comments--puts Detroit under pressure.  The Pistons will do it though!

I will never say never, but their chances are extremely slim.  They can make the playoffs, but I don't see them getting past the Heat, Cavs, Pistons, etc.

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 might... they have to play out of their minds for about 15 games, but they could definitley do it. DO I think they will, of course!!! Im a Kings fan, but realisticaly I think they can beat teh spurs or suns, but after that series they will beaten down and battered, so who knows...

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.

I am going to say what I've said all season. Detroit has been on cruise control for SO LONG because of the lack of competition, that they've forgotten what they need to do when it comes to "gassing" out games against better teams. Personally, I think the Pistons are one of the most over hyped teams in the league, and for one reason only: Lack of competition. They have beaten who? The Bucks?! The Cavaliers (and even THAT isn't decided yet)?! The competition in the East is hardly there, and playing teams lesser than you doesn't make you better. You need teams that can play on your level to decide if you're truly the best--and Detroit has yet to do that. Can Detroit change this? Absolutely! But now with Cleveland revamped and recharged, this series is a WHOLE nother' ball game...!

I'm a huge spurs fan and i hope they can manage somethin' out but piston's are playing great this season and Duncan is not playing so great(except yesterday). So i hope not but i think pistons can win and they are closer to the title....

THE PISTONS WILL, THEY ARE THE GREATEST T-E-A-M!\n\nDEEEE-TROIT BASKET-BALLL!!!!

Only if they get past the Pistons, which I don't think they will. The Western Conference isn't as dominant as it was a couple years ago, so they have a legit shot; provided they get past their toughest opponent, Detroit.

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?

If they survive the first quarter and don't committ a bunch of turnovers they'll be all right, but I think the Pistons will win.\n\nThe key to beating the Pistons is to not commit a bunch of turnovers allowing them to get easy baskets.  You also have to play a smart halfcourt game.  They thrive on you making mistakes and make you pay with easy baskets.
