WOW look who is winning and to who said the Pistons are still the Pistons no they arent the Pistons where all about DEFENSE. Not anymore. And I dont look over the whole team. With a healthy Larry Hughes that is like picking up a FA this year, Z is a inside presence on D and can knock down 17-20 ft jumpers. Gooden is a presence on Defense as well with the ability to score. Eric Snow a good passer and a great deefender, Damon Jones ( Greatest Shooter in the World), Varejao a great amount of energy of the bench and a presence on the defensive side of the ball, Luke Jackson dont know what hell bring since he has been hurt. Shannon Brown good defender and some youthful energy. The only thing we lost was Flip Murray he can drop 20 any night but he also turns the ball over two many times and takes ill advised shots. Oh I almost forgot about Lebron James what can I say he does it all, and does it all very, very well. Well there is my take and now tell me why Detroit is better. Dont tell me what they have done I want to hear what they will do with out Ben in the middle to anchor there defense. Because defense wins titles not mystique. Ask all the Celtics fans if that one is true
