Basketball With or without Big Ben, The Pistons will win 60+ games next year.

IMO they are a better all around team.

Yes, they lost a little on Defense, but they also gained a lot on offense. Nzar is capable of putting up a double double every night. Murry will be a spark plug off of the bench too. Delfino should be playing better then ever. Dupree and Hunter are going to be a great help as defensive stoppers.

Nzar
Sheed
Rip
Billups
Tayshaun
Murry
Dyess
Hunter
Delfino
Dupree
Davis?
Alex Acker??

The only thing that worries me is the fact that we still have shaq to go through. Thats the one thing Detroit will have Problems with.

Detroit should role over Chicago no problem. Chicago has no experience. In a year or 2, chicago will be deadly.

How many games did they win this year? They can win as many games as they want, but they gotta make it in the playoffs.

i think Maxiell will be picked over Acker. Davis will be there and maybe seen a little more often on the court.

Well Acker has been tearing up the Summer Leagues...

The won 64 games last year.

Losing big ben isnt going to equal 25 loses.

i say that because only 2 F/C are on the bench now (McDyess and Davis). Maxiell would be the 3rd.

Thats what the had last year, all year long.

And davis only played like 30 mins all year!!!

 

[tigsfan]

Maxiell had played last year, more than Davis.

Maxiell had played last year, more than Davis.

None when the game was on the line. I watched 80% of the games.

They both only played when

A: Davis play when Shaq was in town.

B: Both got minutes in blowout wins/loses.

C: None played with the game close.

how many do you think they will win?

There bench just got a lot better from last year.

Nzar is no ben wallace, but he can put up better numbers all around then him. Ben has him beat on the non-stat hustle plays.

I think losing Ben will be a lot worse for them. And remember you just said Nazr would be a good replacement for Ben. Now say that out loud. Ben may not have scored much but he was a feroucioud defender and could crash the boards. Now they have to share the ball with Nazr instead of the Big 4 dominatng the ball. I think they will make the playoff but it will be a bigger struggle than you all think. IM guessing maybe, maybe 50 wins.

 

[tigsfan]

Prince is also a really good defender, no one forget about "The Prince of the Palace"

Nazr is a what? they will make the playoffs, but no home ccourt, maybe 45 wins. Ben was the soul of the team. They are done.
