i think the pistons are highly overated, last year they won because the lakers didn't show up basically. the pistons are a poor man's spurs (great defense, team oriented, lots of hustle) and the lakers ran off four straight on them. it just goes to show if you cruise into the NBA finals like you're gonna run the table you will lose.

no way the pistons are overrated....two legitamate go-to guys in crunch time with billups and hamilton....the best collection of big men on any team, east or west conference.....good team defense (a larry brown staple), and on that same note good coaching.....they are also a deep team, which comes in very handy during the long regular season.

I think it will be a pistons-spurs finals...and i think the pistons will win it again

billups is a go-to guy in crunch time? please. the pistons will get beat pretty badly by the spurs if they went heads up in the finals

Hey guys, guess what?

Remember the Raptors, suppose to finish last in the east, well we're now 3-0. Gotta love the T.O. .

raptors won't keep this up...vinsanity will get hurt mid season and they'll tank. you can almost write it down right now..it happens nearly every season.

oh and i'm sorry i didn't realize two crunch time shots make you clutch. (one of them a lucky half court heave)

over the last couple years the raptors have played better without carter....i think it was last year or the year before when they ran off like 14 straight wins at the end of the season without vince. He's a primadonna who just sucks...and i love chris bosh...hes a monster

considering it was the biggest series of his life at that point, i think they are considered clutch....in fact, im not sure what else qualifies as clutch
