Best Sports Week Ever!

I have to say, that this week is any sports fans dream come true - we have football, hockey, basketball and baseball all in one week. I don't think it gets any better! Well, it could be better if we had a winning football team, but that's a whole other story...

Tonight kicks off the Pistons season with their home opener. Contrary to the statements made by Mr. Dumars after a disappointing end to last season ("there are no sacred cows"), the Pistons have not made any major moves in the off-season. They have a new coach this year, but that's about it. Is a new coach enough to bring the spark back to this team? The Pistons are a great regular season team that falters in the playoffs...can Coach Curry mold this talented team into playoff contenders?

My predictions for the Pistons season:

1st in the division
54 wins
facing Boston in the Conference Finals

Can they beat Boston? I think they can, but only if they get back to the tough defense that Detroit has been known for in the past...we'll see how the season unfolds.
