What's so funny about the Pistons? :jbhmm:




44-38 with no bench last year, one of the most productive starting 5's in the league after the trade for Harris.

i have em as a five seed. what was the record after the harris trade anyways. i know they improved but meh celtics are better

I know ya'll think GSW vs CLE is a foregone conclusion, but I geuniney think Indiana can give the Cavs a run this year.

Teague/PG/Thad is a great trio, and hopefully we can flip Ellis for Rudy Gay. I think it will come down to how big of a jump Myles Turner takes in his second year.

We may not beat them, but I think we can at least make LeBron and them boys work hard.

17-8 as a starter for the Pistons.

They got Ish Smith, Boban and Leur added to a bench that was dead last in ppg last season, mainly because they had nobody that could get to the rim.

Combine that with the growth of their young players and I think they're better than the Celtics.

They DEFINITELY won't be better than Detroit or Indiana

Thinking Detroit & Indiana will do better than them is fine, but I don't see how you can definitively say they'll do better. Celtics were tied for the 3rd best record in the conference last year with the worst frontcourt in basketball. Now they've added an all-star big into the rotation.

Barring major injury, Boston will be competing for homecourt once again

Rebounding will be a big issue, especially vs the Pistons, big Drum ate Horford up last year like some BBQ chicken on the boards.

My outlook for the Pistons is because of the Hack-A rule going out the window, Drummond & Jordan should have career years.

What is your projected starting five. Pistons bench got way better and their starting five is not a good match up for yall
yall :wtf:? check yourself. im a warriors fan.

the Raptors and Pacers are better than the Pistons

Teague-Ellis-George-Turner-Jefferson is better than Jackson-KCP-Morris-Harris-Drummond
so is Lowry-Derozan-Carroll-Patterson-Valanciunas

Raptors probably have the best bench of the three teams

Celtics is arguable.Thomas-Bradley-Crowder-Johnson-Horford...

Indiana should surprise a lot of people this year. The Central division is loaded this year, and my Bulls are at the bottom of the pack probably. :sadcam:

They need Stanley to be their second best player before they can make a real impact. Got a nice young core tho

You really don't respect Tobias do you? :jbhmm:

Detroit's major weakness is Reggie's decision making in the 4th quarter, but they have the pieces from a roster standpoint and they'll only get more comfortable with each other.
