So you say the Pistons won't be very good this year? I disagree.

These guys are ticked off. Everyone has written them off.

Even Joe Dumars threatened to get rid of everybody except Rodney Stuckey. He has made no such move and probaly won't.

The Pistons thrive on being the underdog. No matter how horrible the 76ers really are, or if Lebron's team is mediocre again, everybody will hate on the Pistons.

Fact. Rodney Stuckey and Amir Johnson will explode this year. Johnson will probaly be the starting PF, and Stuckey will relieve both guards. How about a tenacious Jason Maxiell coming off the bench and dunking all over 7 footers.

The Pistons have too much talent to just roll over. These guys have matured. They even drafted a super-sleeper this year (literally, Walter Sharpe)

Now I know you don't mean the Pistons won't make the playoffs (that would be dumb), but I'm pretty sure they will be a 1-3 seed, and probaly will be in the Eastern Conf. finals.


Alright...I will accept this TD.

The Pistons are good, but they are not good enough to over come Boston, Cleveland, the newly constructed Philadelphia, or even Orlando. Plus, they are getting old in a hurry.

The window has realistically closed on this team, so it doesn't matter how many times they make the playoffs since they are not going to win the hardware.

The young guys you mentioned have potential, but as long as the vets are around, they are going to get the bulk of the minutes.

To precisely argue with you, I don't see Detroit being a top 3 seed in the East, and they are NOT going to the ECF. They will be a 4th seed at best this coming season.

dude...why the hell do you start a TD and not bother finishing it?

Sorry man. I honestly just don't watch enough NBA to make a good argument against your position. I'd love to take it, I just don't think that I could do the topic justice.

That's a fact? Where exactly can I go and verify that?

I agree with you, on this. Also who wrote them off? I still pick em to be a favorite for the East.
