I do not like their style. They're a good team, that's for sure. But it is so boring to watch an 80-73 or 70-68 games, no NBA fan wants that, except for maybe Detroit fans. The reason they play that style is that they have no offensive players, so they use a smothering defense. But they are the reason why the NBA was down for so long, no one wants to watch a slow, low-scoring game. Fast-paced games with lots of points is what makes the game exciting.
I think without Wallace, their offense may be better, as he had no offensive game at all, but their defense will suffer a bit. I think it will be at least a little bit more exciting.

The Detroit Pistons are on the decline. They will do fine without Ben Wallace, but they definitely lost a big part of who they were as a team. Before they were a team without a superstar. They had 5 high caliber players, now they're just a team with 4 high caliber players and a sub par. They'll have less wins this season, but they'll still be a strong opponent to face. I wouldn't mind watching that game, Shaq will likely dominate easily without a strong presence in the middle.

I'm definitely watching that game.
As far as the Pistons, I think they'll adjust to having Nazr Mohammed as their center. He's not as good defensively as Big Ben, but he's a better scorer.
The biggest problem for the Pistons is that the Eastern conference is improving. For the Pistons to make it to the finals they'll have to go through either Miami, Cleveland, Chicago, Washington or Milwalkee, all improved teams.

They're a strong defensive outfit and they play great as a team, but they won't be as solid as they used to be without Big Ben. That's always talk about what an offensive liability Ben Wallace is but you can't overlook him as a defensive force. He can pull down 10 - 15 or more rebounds per game. That's a potential 25 points or more difference in the final score.
I'll watch if i can.

Billups is the final pistons participant because of the fact with out him interior the lineup they're suffering against solid communities. Their offense do no longer bypass properly with out him interior the lineup. he's extremely like the nash of the suns interior the eastern convention.

honestly....they're an aging team that lost a key leader. I wouldn't expect much from them next year. Sorry to break the news to you (you heard it here first.)
