I hit open 5-foot jumpshots with ease
The Pistons will be in the conference finals
Against my Hawks.
Book it.

One of the Goodfellas
Re: The Pistons will be in the conference finals
Pistons can make it far this year but I predict they will face the Hawks in an earlier round.

That would set viewership lows for an ECF.

Good college starter

Witch one of them takes out the Cavs?

Missing Since 2009
Re: The Pistons will be in the conference finals
While I have a lot of faith in Van Gundy coaching [either of them], it's a bit optimistic that they hit the conference finals one year after missing the playoffs and with such an inexperienced roster.

Not to mention they haven't had a winning record and deep playoff push since 2008. They just lost to a winless Pacers team with their bench scoring 2 points.

Re: The Pistons will be in the conference finals
Not a chance. And the Pistons are my team.
Giving that contract, along with the keys to the team, to Reggie Jackson will be the bane of Van Gundy's existence. He can't shoot, and he's not a point guard, even though they're paying him to be one. He can't run an offense. He has poor court vision and awareness. All he can do is drive to the rim, which he does well, but that's not all they're paying him to do. He should be coming off the bench as a 6th man scoring guard. Terrible signing and positioning.
Aside from that, the bench is too weak. Getting Jennings back will help at the PG spot, and Stanley Johnson is going to be really good, but it's too thin everywhere else.

Great college starter
Re: The Pistons will be in the conference finals
I'm a big SVG fan and I think he'll have the Pistons contending for a playoff spot, but c'mon. Barring major injuries to the opponent, I can't see them beating the Cavs, Hawks, Heat, Bulls, Wizards, or Raptors in a playoff series.

Raps
Re: The Pistons will be in the conference finals
Pistons vs Hawks ?

Playoff Rondo
Re: The Pistons will be in the conference finals
You think the NBA would let that happen? That would probably be the least watched conference finals series of all time.

Decent college freshman
Re: The Pistons will be in the conference finals
Huge Pistons and Drummond fan but ECF c'mon son.
Best case scenario 6th seed and beats the Raps or Bulls in the first round.

Eh, wouldn't say that. Toronto hasn't really proven anything either.

Re: The Pistons will be in the conference finals
It's been sort of fun to bask in the premature Pistons hype that comes with a 3-1 start. I'll take it while it lasts, because that six game West Coast road trip is probably going to snuff most of this talk out.

They have a cult following now, but people weren't exactly crawling over one another to watch the Pistons play the Pacers in 2004. Always interesting to see how that series has been canonized but at the time, all anyone did was complain about how offensively deficient and boring those two teams were.
