The pistons were overhyped big this season.

As of 6:00 ET (2/ 8/ 06) that is inaccurate.

The Pistons are being over hyped after being underrated prior to the season. All five starters should not be in the All-star game and even 3 is debatable. Billups is not the MVP and they really had no shot at ever winning 70 (much less 72).
I am of the opinion that the best thing that could happen to the Pistons is for them to lose to the Clippers tonight then get shellacked by Miami on Sunday (Having only two all-stars would also be ideal).
This will predictably lead to the national media kicking sand on the Pistons title chances as well as bring focus to the perceived effect that Browns departure has had on the teams defense.
That should snap them back to reality and allow them to re-embrace their trusty bunker mentality (which I believe has been vital to their success the past few seasons).
- I still like their chances to win it all this season (though I do question the mental toughness of their coach).
