HOUSTON -- The Pistons can deny it all they want. But these days, it's mighty hard to play the disrespect card they love so much.

They certainly couldn't Friday, not when four Pistons -- and coach Flip Saunders -- rolled into a media session to discuss Sunday's All-Star Game, where they will represent the Eastern Conference.

From the moment they stepped onto the ballroom floor, the dance was on. Writers and broadcasters from across the country converged on Chauncey Billups, Richard Hamilton, Rasheed Wallace and Ben Wallace, asking old standards (What's different about this team under Flip?) and new hits (Which hairstyle do you prefer, the 'Fro or the cornrows?).

Well, I suppose this answers the question...

At another table, Saunders talked strategy. He said he would get the Pistons in the game together with about four or five minutes left in the first quarter. A fifth player, an honorary Piston for the night, will be Celtics forward Paul Pierce.
