Will the Detroit Pistons fall down like the Dallas Mavericks?

No the Pistons won't fall down like the Mavericks. They still have a lot of fight left in them despite the fact that they haven't been to the NBA Finals the last 3 years. I don't think the Pistons have anything to worry about. They have a good future with guys like Stuckey, Maxiell, and Afflalo developing into rising, young stars. If I were Joe Dumars, I would keep the core group of Billups, Hamilton, Prince, Wallace and McDyess exactly the way it is. They got a good thing going on with all these guys in the mix. The only thing I would change is the head coach. Joe Dumars needs to get rid of Flip. He was brought to Detroit with the goal of getting the Pistons back to the Finals. After 3 years, he still hasn't gotten it done. The Pistons need discipline. That is why they won the championship back in 2004. They were more disciplined then than they are now and Flip is definitely the wrong guy for that. He is too laid-back and soft. The Pistons need someone to get on their case and teach them to keep playing until the buzzer sounds. Joe Dumars needs to bring Larry Brown back so he can coach the Pistons to another NBA title. In the upcoming season, I expect the Pistons to come up on top of the East as usual and hopefully get to the Finals and win one for Detroit. Go Pistons!!!!!!!
