I believe the Pistons learned from last years debacle and would never repeat the same mistakes by letting that really one good player beat them. It was a fluke last year, that is why the Cavs made this move because they knew they couldn`t get by Detroit or Boston with their previous roster.
Have the Cavs improved? Yes. Are they now a championship team? IMO, no, not even Eastern Conference champions. |
I am not sure Cavs improved against Pistons. Hughes caused lots and lots of problems for Rip and Chauncey defensively, Gooden was good on the offensive glass (I know Ben is probably going to hurt us there too, but Gooden is a player that requires defensive attention and Ben is not really, in addition Ben can't guard Sheed). Wally is a liability defensively, and Chauncey is going eat up West alive. Yeah, Cavs add some offense, but their defense is not going to be as good, and that is a huge benefit to Pistons.
