pistons on a role

The Pistons have won 11 of their last 12, there finally getting back to that championchp team. The pistons look like there ready for the repeat everyone on the team is gelling and playing great as a team. Which one them the championchip last year. The pistons are the hottest team right now and I think not making any deals at the trade deadline was a smart move. New Orealeans is giving there team away for more cap room so they can make offseason moves. You should expect a star player or a couple of good players to lead there team next year, and they are going to get a great draft pick. They have there eye on hakim warrick of syracuse who is a great player. The pistons have competition in the east this year with miami, clevland and now the sixers aquiring chris webber and jamal mashburn, but I think the Pistons will take the #2 seed and will face shaq and d wade in the conference finals and stop shaq again by taking the eastern cofference title and going into the finals the west is unknown with great teams like the spurs, suns, mavs, and even ther kings. It's going to be an exciting playoff run and the pistons need to play the way there playing now and they'l be fine.

IU gets back on track

After getting blown out last week by #1 ranked Illinois, IU had another tough task yesterday against Minnessota, learning before the game, star guard Bracey Wright couldn't play on his ankle. The home crowd proppelled IU's offense, and their defense was solid as usual. The offense never cooled off, and the Hoosiers won 71-56. led by Pat Ewing J.r, and A.J Ratliff both with 15 points. The win against Minnessota puts the Hoosiers in 4th place in the Big ten. This win is huge for IU's chances of making the NCAA tourney, a loss would've ment possibly having to win out.
The Hoosiers next task is at Ohio state on Tuesday.
