I think it almost makes sense for Detroit to win again, the entire team is complete, they play as a unit, are unselfish, and the more they play together the better they will be. A lot of big teams lost big names including The Lakers, Mavericks, Heat, and Kings so they might be in rebuilding phases this year.

Yeah true. They don't play "pretty" basketball but they make a great team. And they have a number of young players who will only get better.

Like who? Darko Milicic? This guy is a future bust man, book it. If he doesn't live up to the expectations by 2 more seasons, then this guy is officially a bust. He's not going to anyways considering the Pistons won the championship without him. By the way, this guy is so fragile. In the last game versus the Lakers in the finals, everything was happy for the Pistons and the fans because they were winning the championship, but Milicic BREAKS his hand during the final minute of the game. I'm surprised this guy was even selected 2nd in the draft. I would take Chris Bosh over him anyday.
Teyshawn Prince for starters. Only in his 2rd season this year. And Darko will be another Dirk Nowitzski, you just wait. You have to remember he is only 18, Pistons aren't expecting anything great out of him for at least another year i would say.

sorry to say but if Darko Milicic doesnt have somewhat of an important season this year...his career is as good to go as Michael Olowokandi's....ouch.

darko is only 18! what do you guys expect? he has not gone through the college program, he is like 4 years younger than most rookies.
Also, its hard for darko to make an impression when his coach is intent on developing him as a player off the court, making him pay his dues as a rookie then get some court time. You think that attitude is leaning towards him being "bust" if he doesn't play well? Hardly, it shows that detroit are focusing on developing his skills properly with an outlook for a long future.

I'm always with my 76ers, but with their roster tey have no chance with great teams like Lakers, T-Volves, Pistons and many other...Hard to predict now, but I think, that the winner will be someone from the Western Conference this time...I'm very interested in Rockets and T-Mac with Yao play...It's gonna be great season IMO!
