  I was reading an article in the Detroit Free Press and all the Magic players believe they are a better team than Detroit, even the general manager Otis Smith believes it.

That block Prince made at the end of game 5 against Orlando was great.

They were able to play the bench a lot at the end of the season to save the starters. Now he barely acknowledges the bench past Stuckey and Maxiell. So when will the Pistons run end due to the starters burning out?

I consider Flip is a decent coach, but when is he going to learn. He is using up the mileage saved at the end of th ...(more)

Next time Rashard Lewis wants to talk smack about the Pistons and say the Magic are a better team, he better make sure he brings his A-game.  He looks like a lost puppy out there.  Finish these guys off ...(more)

Not to look past Orlando, especially since being up 2-0 meant so much last year against Cleveland, but just wondering IF Detroit were to finish off the Magic, who you guys would want, Boston or Cleveland?

My choice would be Cleveland just because of home court (which again didn't mean d#*k last year).  Part of me, thoug ...(more)

Lifelong Pistons fan, guilty as charged.  I am rooting for them to push everyone out of their way to win the championship this year.  For game 4, my view is leave Chauncey Billups where he is.  In the training room. 

You saw what happened in ...(more)

Too bad they don't give this kid some minutes.  I understand that Flip trusts a veteran like Ratliff more than he does a 20-year old, however, Amir Johnson provided a lot of energy during the season that I think could be beneficial in small doses in the playoffs.  What do you guys think?

Dwight Howard seemed to pull a disappearing act tonight!  He scored 8 points tonight and I believe only 2 in the second half.  Was it the tenacious defense, a lack of intensity from Superman, or a bit of both?

The Detroit Pistons have played themselves into a great position right now.  They were in a very vunerable position just a few days ago.  Think about it.  They allowed the Philadelphia Sixers to get back into the series before they shook the sleep out of their play.  They face the Orlando ...(more)

(POLL) This should be a very interesting and exciting series. The Pistons have received their wake-up call so they should be ready to roll. This isn't the same Magic squad that they disposed of last year, so the task at hand might be harder. The Magic are well rested and are probably a li ...(more)

An ECF rematch would be nice, but I just want Cleveland gone.  C'mon Big 3, win this game!!!!!!!!
