07 Pistons or 08 Pistons - Which team is better?
Before this series started, most Orlando fans agreed that Orlando was a much better team than last year and that Detroit is a year older and on the decline.
No one is going to argue that Orlando is a better team than last year, but is Detroit really a worse team than last year?
06-07 Rotation:
C:Sheed/Dice or Dale Davis
PF:Webber/Dice
SF:Prince/Delfino
SG:RIP/Delfino
PG:Billups/Flip Murray
07-08 Rotation:
C:Sheed/Dice or Ratliff
PF:Maxiell/Dice
SF:Prince/Herman or Hayes
SG:RIP/Aaron Afflalo
PG:Billups/Stuckey
--------------
Certainly Billups, Rip, Dice, and Sheed are a year older. Are the other changes enough to make them a better team than last year, or are they a worse team this year?

I really don't care but it's definitely '08.

Highly doubt we would be "crushing" the '07 Pistons.
'08 Pistons seem to be deeper than last year's team. Either way, both teams are among the best of the current NBA. Can't argue against a team that continually makes it to the ECF, and is 2 wins away from doing it again this year.
