pistons +300 to win east

Unfortunately, Flip's still the coach. I can't see Detroit making another run. Their time has come and gone. The Pistons are an old team, and Stuckey and Afflalo won't contribute much (if anything) this season. And at this point, I don't think having Sheed is a positive.

Chicago's the team to beat in the East.

And where are you getting +300 for Detroit? FYI: Pistons +425 to win the East at Bookmaker.

The bulls?? Are u crazy?? Don't you remember last seasons playoffs where detroit took care of chicago?? Pistons are still the beasts of the east. FYI: Was going by an old line. +425 is even better.

I don't think that the Pistons will make another monster run like they did last year. That team is one year older and seems to lose focus way too easy.

For my opinion Boston is the East favorite this year.
With KG and Ray Allen they can beat anyone in the east.
The question is if Doc Rivers is qualified for the job.

No, I don't have any recollection of that series, but since they beat 'em last year they're definitely the better team this year, right?

If you watched that series you'd notice the problems Chicago's athleticism gave an old Detroit team. This was even more apparent later in the series when Skiles finally started playing Ty Thomas. The Bulls will be much better this year as Thomas and Sefolosha further develop, and Nocioni is fully healthy. They're the deepest team in the East, and Deng is on the verge of becoming a superstar. If the Bulls and Pistons were to meet again, Deng is the best player in that series. And Skiles v. Flip? No comparison. Chicago's the best team in the East, and it's not even close IMO.

The Celtics and probably even the Cavs are also better than Detroit.

Look out for Toronto this year.

Best two teams in the East are Chicago and Toronto.
