Unlike the NFL, in the NBA divisions don’t much matter. Yeah you play the others in division a little more than other teams. But not so much as to strongly affect the difficulty of you whole year’s schedule. And being division champion is not as big a deal either as there are essentially 5 wild cards instead of 2.

I believe I asked for a résumé first.

No question the team is heading in the right direction. But, I don’t know if they’re going to have the plucky breakout underdog season yet.

Knight doesn’t look quite there yet. Their entire bench hasn’t shown much consistency. And I think we’re all drinking the kool-aid for Drummond.

Like I said, I would love it if they ended up being a surprise playoff team, but I wouldn’t bet on it being this season. If I had to bet, I would say next season is more likely, hopefully Detroit proves me wrong.

I have no part in this foolishness.
You bet me that Ben Wallace would be a Piston by the trade deadline and if he isn’t, then I will be a contributing editor, or if he makes the team will disappear.

Lets see here. The Pistons are a young team that could have one of those “they don’t understand exactly what they’re doing” kind of years in terms of going to the playoffs. At the end of the day Indiana is probably the favorite in the division, Milwaukee is good but not exactly consistent, Cleveland is still a player or two away from the playoffs, and Chicago will be missing Derek Rose and while they are good without him they aren’t contender good without him so they are vulnerable. The Pistons have a potentially dynamic young front court and their back court will work itself out.

The ultimate example of confirmation bias… when you can take a positive post as evidence that the site aims to report on just the negatives.

“Continue your hate PistonPowered or should it be called Haters from PistonsPowered. LAMES!”

Man, your blatant trolling attempts are even more feeble than your earnest comments. You’re like the Charlie Villanueva of commenting.

The Pistons test will be early on, road trip out west with all contenders! If they can win one or two of those I think it will mean alot going forward with the season confidence wise. Cant wait to see how the first couple of weeks undfold and get better idea of the 2012-13 Pistons

I rather doubt they run a Pistons fansite because they hate the Pistons. I think the most they can fairly be accused of is “tough love” or occasional pessimism.

And if you don’t have ANY pessimism after the last few years, you’re not a Pistons fan – or at least not one who cares.
