You guys should really be worrying about the Cavs, not the Pistons.   :)

still need to show me a scorer for lebron to dish to down low so we can't load up. (how;s that kid you guys drafted? i haven't been watching, i know you thought he might be the solution.)

but yea, more worried about the cav's than the pistons.

They were amazing last night (despite 19 turnovers) and Iverson's penetration really spread out the floor. The Lakers were like 10-1 on their homecourt in the playoffs last year and they lost by 11 last night. Beating the Celtics or Lakers on their homecourt is 3X more impressive as beating them on the road. I thought the Nuggets would suffer by the trade and the Pistons would benefit but it last night is indication that both teams got better. I kind of wrote off the Pistons to be lower than the Hawks and Cavs but are you still cynical of AI on that team?

did you watch them against the suns last night  ;D

Hickson (the draftee) isn't doing much yet.  He is still working into some minutes.  Varejao has been playing great down low along with Z and Lebron (surprisingly).  West and Williams have been playing well at the 1 and 2.  Wallace is playing very nice defense.  Toughest win so far was probably Denver (the night before they came to Boston).  They have Detroit on the end of a back to back Wednesday night....should be a good test

Cavs are the biggest worry in the East. 


They can come the closest to matching the Celtics in terms of defense and rebounding. 


But they really need someone to replace Joe Smith.
