LBJ is LBJ but on any given Sunday (Mon, Tue, Wed or Thurs) he can be beat, get in his head, stop that dirbble penetration.

Looking at the Pistons, we are awful with stopping dribble penetration, this is really the only true weakness in our defense. On the Offensive end, CB has problems with consistent trapping teams in the half court.

Two big areas that needs work before the playoffs.

Joe D has accumulated a lot of expiring contracts, this is the set-up folks. I would be very surprised if Joe D did not make a deal before the trade deadline.

I think the focus will be on getting someone who can slow down Lebron James and play some lock down defense on the guy.

I am looking at the likes of Ron Artest, (errggg), Shane Battier, Mickael Petreus (sp).

Someone who you can sacrifice their offensive game for lock down defense.

It's a whole lot of expiring deals on that bench. Joe has essentially stockpiled these players for a reason.
