[The Fix]

I have a 500 million dollar bet with Jose...he has the Suns and I of course put the smart money on the Pistons.

What you guys are failing to understand is that we now have the best starting 5 in the league and our ENTIRE BENCH (also the best) is back. Everyones healthy...the rest of the league is ****ed...

If you can name 5 players on a team that are better than the starting 5 on the Pistons then ill give you 20 mil...im talking about 5 whole players...not 3.
The playoffs are a whole different animal and thats when the Stunners step it up.

seriously id take the spurs lineup before the pistons, tim duncan can just takeover games and straight out dominate. there isnt one thing he does bad---maybe freethrows but he aint that bad at that. here is how i look at the lineups:

parker>>>>>billups
ginobli = hamilton
bowen<<<<< duncan>>>>>rasheed wallace
nesterovic(sp?)<<<<<< ben wallace

right now i just cant pick against tim duncan, he is just too big a factor.both teams play great team basketball but the pistons dont have a player that can takeover a game like the spurs do.


btw i i think the suns have 5 players better than the pistons do, the pistons are proven though and imo there play is more suitable for the playoffs

nash
richardson
johnson
marion
stoudemire(sp?)





EDIT how come my post got messed up and i cant edit it?
it is supposed to look like this :
bowen<<<<< prince but instead it looks like bowen<<<<>>>>rasheed wallace

The Suns have 5 better OFFENSIVE PLAYERS...not both ways though.

Theres no way that parker is BETTER than Chauncey. I like Parker, but he's only equal to Billups AT BEST. Chauncey is bigger, stronger, passes just as well, shoots better % from both the field and the stripe, and can make the big three when you need it. He's also no slouch on D but i'll say that Parker is better in the open court.

Rip and Ginobili are about equal...although Ginobili would kill for Rips mid-range jumper.

Tayshaun owns Bowen...mainly on the offensive side because Bowen has good defense like Tay Tay.

Duncan is better than Sheed just about everywhere except outside...and Sheed plays D just about as well as Duncan.

Ben owns Nesterovic.

There it is...plus you factor in that we have a better bench and it all comes together perfectly.

I got the Heat.

Wanna bet in case the Pistons meet the Heat in the Eastern Conf. Finals?

[Tha Greatest]

Go Pistons!!!!!!!1111

spurs lost to the jazz yesterday with duncan in the lineup
oh well the spurs are still gonna win.

thats pretty bad. the jazz suck now.

[The Fix]

thats pretty bad. the jazz suck now.

too many injuries for the jazz, they never had a chance to really get used to eachother. imo its gonna work out better for them anyway cause they are gonna have a good chance to get either bogut or paul.i think they should take paul cause they really nead a pg and okur is gettin better.

paul could be really good
harpring- hard worker
ak47 16 ppg and like 3.5 blocks
boozer could be a 20 and 10 guy
okur good shooter but cant defend anything

looks like a solid starting lineup that will only get better in a couple years

No problem. That defense they used to shut down Dwyane Wade, in their previous game, won't work when Shaq is in the middle....trust me when I say that.

[tysonortiz]

Heat gonna take it this year. How much are the lakers kickin themselves for lettin shaq go. They go from THE team to not even reaching the playoffs. Pathetic.

[tysonortiz]

And dwayne wade is the truth, haha.
