WTF Detroit?
I don't know why but we keep slipping every conference finals, first slip against Miami and now against Cleveland. Detroit would have won the series if their guards played well together. If you notice, Billips and Hamilton were'nt in sync when they played in the series; Billups would have a good night while hamilton didn't do so well and vice versa.
I'm just glad Detroit has re-signed Billups. I don't know if it's me but I haven't seen the Pistons play that tight defense they used to play since they won that championship in 2004; honestly, Flip Saunders is not a good fit for detroit, he is an offensive minded coach and fails to emphasize defense, sure the pistons got better offensively but their defense started slacking; still good but not great.
For Detroit to get past the eastern conference finals next season,(which seems as a true obstacle for them in the past two years) they need to execute that gritty defense that won them that title in 2004 (I'm still waiting for detroit to win another title!)
