    Re: Pistons Ranked #2 in Power Poll!

    Its about time we got some respect. There really isnt a team in the east that I feel can beat the Pistons in a series. Orlando scares me because we dont really match up well with them, but in a 7 game series we can put them away. Indiana has proven they cant beat us consistantly, hell they have only one win in the last 5 games against us if im not mistaken, and that was a win on a shot that shouldnt have counted. Take a look at the last few Indy/Det games, total domination by the Pistons. So soon you forget the shalacking the Pacers got in the Palace on MLK day.

    The biggest problem we had last year was scoring points and Billips and Rip have solved that. To say we dont have a proven go to guy is kinda nuts, especially with the best midrange guy in the league on our team. Not to mention how automatic Corliss has been in the clutch for us this year.

    Now if lady luck is on my side, Memphis will somehow beat Indy tonight....

        I think the Pistons can make the east coast finals, I think they could take the Pacers in the first round if they had to.

        I dont know, it will be a fun playoffs this year.

        I personally think Reggie will come up big in the playoffs, or at least I hope so

            Wow, I didnt think the basketball gods would actually be on our side. The Pacers lose to the Hawks and the Griz in less than a week? And people wonder why Pistons fans think Indy is no problem!

                Detroit has a great D so I think it will take them far, but I am not sure if they could take the Nets or Pacers - I will say this - it will be a close call down to the wire Detroit is a team that I would not want to play right now...

                    Did you forget that the Pistons had trouble beating the Raptors and then lost to the Celtics in 5 games in last year's playoffs?

                        Thanks man, Im not one to talk trash about my team, but after then losing to Atlanta and then MEm, I need a good responce to this thread.

                        The only bad part, the Pistions can kill Indy if htey play the way htey are now, but I still honestly beleive that the pacers can take anyone when they are ont op of there game andwhen they are THINKING. this has not been happening in the last 2 games

                                How are they over-achieving? Sound defense is overachieving? 50 wins last year? On pace for 55+ this year? Can you overachieve 2 years in a row?
