I'll go with the Pistons.

I agree. The Suns were a clean team and that was a weakness that the Spurs abused. There's nothing wrong with being a pure, clean team like the Suns, but when you're playing against unsportsmanlike doushbags (bad spelt intentional) like Bruce Bowen and Manu Ginobili, you really can't be nice if you want to win.
With that being said, the Spurs shouldn't expect the same hospitality from the Pistons. The Pistons are FAR more aggressive than the Suns (and the Spurs too) and I don't think that the Spurs can penetrate their defense. They don't have Ben Wallace, but they still have a solid Chris Webber who can body check any player in the league in the post with effect. And they have Antonio McDyss as well as Rasheed Wallace. Trust me, they have a consistent post defense.
As for Bruce Bowen: Bruce Bowen won't be able to defend Chauncey Billups and Richard Hamilton at the same time. The Suns perimeter seriously lacked caliber. Steve Nash literally worked by himself. The Pistons.........

The Pistons have more perimeter options than the Suns did and that will be hard to defend. On top of that, the Pistons are more experienced than the Suns and have a better all-around game. The Suns do have a better offense than the Pistons, but the Pistons have a vicious defensive game and a more than adequate offensive game.
To conclude: I think that the Pistons will win the championship this year.

Some great arguments here, but consider this:
The Spurs had to play dirty against the Suns. I don't care how big a fan you are of the Spurs, that's dirty. Forearm shiver to the scoring table. Knee to the groin. Busted up nose. These are all things that went down. There can be no disagreement here - it is indisputable that the Spurs played dirty against the Suns.
That stated, the very first time the Spurs try to check Hamilton or Billups into the boards like a hockey player, it's going to hit the fan. Imagine that play happening in Detroit, after the whole Pacers debacle a few years ago. While I'd like to think that fans learned their lesson, you know there are going to be overzealous asshats out there ready to throw a beer at Duncan's head. And don't forget Rasheed Wallace either - do you think he'd stand for anyone beating on his teammates so blatantly for very long?
The short answer is no. Sheed would get T'ed up, Chauncy would hit his foul shots, and the whole world would see that the Spurs can't get it done anymore without playing dirty.
Place your bets now. Pistons in 5. David Stern will shut the Spurs down the very first time they get dirty in Detroit.

Without Wallace, the Pistons lack that post defensive presence that they had when the Spurs and the Pistons went 7 games just a couple of seasons ago. If the Pistons get passed Cleveland, I see them losing to the Spurs in 6, Duncan Finals MVP.

Lebron is my fav. player, but as much as I wish the Cav's would go, I really doubt it. The Pistons are actually my other team, and it sucks that Ben Wallace left. But I think they'll still go all the way. They def. can take the Spurs.

No...From what I've just seen after saying no one would beat the Suns, the SPURS will win the championship...No one left in the playoffs can beat them...

it will certainly be a great match up between this 2 teams. Tim Ducan will certainly make much diff in this match up. if he continue to play well in the field and board, they have a chance thats for sure. their back court with tony parker and co is equally as good as the detroit back court.
it will be a 7 game series. i think.
