How do you feel about the Pistons chances of winning the Title?

I say 50-50. They will either win it or they won't.

Have a nice day.

The pieces are there, will they be assembled correctly?

The pieces are there. Will they put forth the effort necessary?

yes...but will that effort be sum > whole + cohesive ?

I did not vote. Yes, we have the players to win it all.

We have a coach who could coach us well enough to win it all.

But do we have a coach willing to coach us? Big question, at least in my mind. In my opinion, Flip still cares about not playing young players to the point of distraction. It almost seems he thinks of excuses night and day not to play the guys Dumars is so excited about (Stuckey, Afflalo, JMAX, and Amir), rather than thinking about how to win the next game.

In my opinion, we can breeze thru the next two rounds, or lose the next four games, all depending on whether Flip chooses to win, or chooses to dig in his heals and continue to fight Joe Dumars.

If Flip doesn't play Amir and Afflalo, the Pistons will lose in the first round.

I tend to agree with that.

I can't even open my mind to the possibility of it. Yes, I'm that pessimistic.

I'll put a percentage on this as soon as I see who else makes it to the conference finals. I could go as high as 90%....really. There's one team that we could play that I would predict a sweep against....really.
