Can you legitimately argue that even one starter on the Bulls poses a matchup problem for Detroit's starters?




I don't see how... Let's look at the starting 5s for the teams:

Detroit:
Billups
Hamilton
Prince
R. Wallace
B. Wallace

Chicago:
Hinrich
Duhon
Harrington
Nocioni
Davis

So we figure they'd match up like this:

1.) Billups on Hinrich -- Billups gets the nod here.
2.) Hamilton on Duhon -- The choice is clear.
3.) Prince on Nocioni -- Prince shouldn't have any problem with this one. Plays as solid of D as anyone on the team.
4.) Rasheed on Harrington -- Wallace
5.) Ben on Davis -- Again, no question.

Chandler, Gordon, and Piatkowski off of the bench for the Bulls... McDyess, Lindsey Hunter, and Arroyo for Detroit. The only defensive liability is Arroyo.
Let's cut the s**t right now... there's no advantage at a single spot. I'm not being a Pistons homer, I'm being a realist.

2000 SVT Contour -- SOLD! New car coming soon... 1980 Triumph TR7 -- Needs a new home...
