Do you think the Pistons are going anywhere this year?

The pistons might make it to the Eastern Conference Finals, but, I feel that Washington or Miami might give them a tough time to reach the Championship game.

The Pistons are going all the way this year. We've already beat Miami both times we've played them, counting the preseason, and Shaq did play in one of those games. Defensively, our rebound and block totals are almost the same, and our steals were up as of last week. That's what Ben gave us, and now Nazr can score much better (and shoot his free throws lol). Although other scenarios would've worked as well, Ben shooting just 10% better from the line would've put us in the finals last year.

They are still the team to look up to, as far as team performance is concerned. They still work as a team with balance contributions plus those guys coming from the bench. Despite the loss of Ben Wallace, I think they know now what they will do.. Which is to adjust and fill out the spot of Big Ben. Don't count them out, they are still the team to beat.

I am afraid not. The Pistons had their run, and with the loss of Ben Wallace, I really think that they are going to fall short come post-season play. Sure, they will make the playoffs, but they don't have the "bruiser" they need to beat Shaq when he is healthy. This year will probably go to the Heat again in the East, but I am more worried about how good Denver is going to be now that they have Iverson!

I think they still got a shot at the finals. Heat aren't looking to good with Shaq out if he doesn't get back in a hurry they will have a low seed. The two teams that I am worried about is Chicago and Cleveland. When it comes down to the final four teams it will be pistons,heat,cavs,bulls. I am not sure if Pistons will beat those but they definitely are not out they have the 2nd best record in the East right now.

No i dont think there good now sence they got rid of Ben...without ben i dont think its worth watching... rasheed and ben were like peanutbutter and jelly

This is going to sound really ignorant, but who or what are The Pistons? I'm guessing from some of the other responses that they are a sports team not a pop group. But what do they play? (I'm guessing baseball or American football, as neither are covered in Europe, which would account for my not knowing!)

After much thinking, I may change my mind about the chances the Pistons have this year. When they went out and signed Chris Webber, I think it was an extremely smart decision that could spell out an Eastern Conference Championship for them now. At first I didn't think it was a good signing for them, but after seeing some of their games with him, I am starting to sing a different tune.

The Pistons will not probably make the Championship because of the loss of Ben Wallace and there not playing the same like they did with Larry Brown.

I think the Detroit Pistons will definitely go somewhere this year, but it probably won't be the Finals. They're a good team, but I don't think Chris Webber is gonna be much help to them. (I like Ben Wallace better).
