Our weakest component is our frontline. Well, the two Wallaces really are not great offensive players. In fact, if Nenad has a good game, he will probably be the highest scoring frontline player.

And other than Dice, Detroit's bench has taken a major step backward from two years ago.

I have no fear...and if VC is on, the series could end quickly.


I agree, Detroit relies on its guards A LOT. The media is always saying how they are the best backcourt in the NBA but I can name at least two more tandems that I feel are way better. Obviously Vince and JKidd but also Baron Davis and Jason Richardson of the Warriors, sadly they haven't both been healthy for most of the season. Rip Hamilton is a good player, but i think he's overrated and physically weak. when he plays against athletic wings he has a lot of trouble.
