1. Why do people still consider the pistons elite in the east?
2. are we destined for the ECF this year at least just based on the pistons not being the same?

Re: quick two questions
1. who the **** knows? until we beat them, they are elite compared to us, plain and simple. just because they made a trade, we cant consider them inferior to us due to that trade. iverson is a great player and until we beat them in a playoff series they are superior to us.
2. if we can prove to be better than 13 other teams in the east, we are destined for the ECF. however, i do think the cavs are an improved team over last season, and lebron really looks like a man on a mission. we are a back-up pg (marbury) and another big man (joe smith) away from being contenders for nba title. we will see what transpires from now until mid february

Re: quick two questions
The Pistons are breaking in a new coach and a new starter. In the end, they will be a strong playoff team.
Orlando is not certain for the ECF. Most media darlings would tab Cleveland and Boston.

Re: quick two questions
The Cavs defense is scary this season and already playoff-caliber, something Orlando lacks (other than LeBron). With the Wiz and Toronto imploding, Atlanta too young to get deep, I think the ECF isn't too far off, it'll come down to which team has the most "x" factors (deep bench, breakthru players etc).

Re: quick two questions
1. Until they are knocked off in the "playoffs" they are still their.
2. Not unless we can as stated above get a back up pg and decent big will we have a chance against cleveland or boston in the playoffs.

Re: quick two questions
The Pistons are not Elite any longer, plain and simple. The difference between Billups and Iverson is night and day. They are trying to re-build on the fly. As for this "we have to beat them first" logic, well we are not the gauge of a team being elite so I don't agree with that at all.
Now about us making the conferece finals, we are not a lock at all. Right now Lebron is doing something that only Jordan could do; he is completely and utterly dominating and taking a mediocre team to greatness. The Cavs are playing the best ball of anyone in the league right now and are on a level that very few teams have ever been on. I'm interested in seeing if they can maintain it, but if they do we had better look to Boston instead of Cleveland in the 2cd round if we want to get to the conference finals.

Re: quick two questions
I wouldnt be that quick in predicting yet. We have an 8 man rotation only 20 games into the season that does not sound very encouraging. Our bench is not giving us much and a contender needless to say has to have a strong bench. If we pull a trade to address that then absolutely sky will be the limit. And the funny thing is I think we can take the Celtics. Soo draw your own conclusion.

Pistons didn't start off to strong last year either did they? they will quietly put theirselves back into the top of the east, hopefully below us
