I live North of Detroit and watched most of the Pistons' games this year. Something happened to that team in the third game of the Cleveland series (the game before Rasheed Gauransheed the win.) They've been playing like SHIT ever since. The only two starters that seem to be playing with any heart are Tayshaun and Rip Hamilton.

This doesn't mean that Cleveland and Miami haven't been playing Great, I've never seen Shaq run up and down the court like he has been doing, and Dwayne Wade is just Sick!

But watching the other teams in the Playoffs, the Heat, the Mavs, and the Suns makes me think that if the Pistons were playing like they had the intention of winning, there is nothing any of those teams could do to stop them.

Frankly if I were Flip Saunders I'd be starting McDyess over Rasheed Wallace and Lindsay Hunter over Chauncy Billups right now.

I don't know Rasheed's ankle must really hurt because he's embarrassing himself out there.

And I said the Lions MIGHT get close to 500, I didn't say they would, I can see six and ten, remember the rest of the NFC North sucks (except Chicago.)
