If the Pistons get the most wins by a team ever,will they be the best ever?

Not necesarily. They may have the most wins, but "best" is a label given to the team with the most consecutive wins in a season or consecutive seasons. Best "ever" would only apply for as long as no other team broke their record.

The Heat are a better team, they have great future hall of famers and great role players as a bench. The Pistons only have their elite 5, Billups, Prine, R. Wallace, B. Wallace, and Hamilton. The Heat have a better chance to win though Detroit is a great overall team.

Well, the Pistons are about to get eliminated by the Heat. So I guess they're not the best pro-team in human history.\n\nDon't get me wrong, I do like the Pistons, but they're not all that, at least not this year.

Not only do I think so, I know so. There is no way the Pistons are going to let the Heat run over them like that. They played the best team basketball all year long and this is no time to start believing that they won't pull through and win what they fought so hard for.

The way things are going, Spurs-Pistons is going to go 7 games in the finals again. The Pistons are peaking more at the moment, but both teams show strong signs of being better than last year. This could be the best finals since Pistons-Lakers back in the days of Magic and Isiah.\n\nIn the end, I've got to go with the team with the best player, Tim Duncan. Spurs in 7.

The Pistons dominate the the east and the match up well with every team in the west except the suns so i would say they will unless the suns make the finals then it might be tough.

I agree; in fact, I believe the Pistons are bound to win the NBA Finals this year. They have great depth, with Lindsay Hunter leading the bench. Their entire starting lineup is and has always been consistent. That loss to Cleveland on LeBron's 21st B'day is just a bump in the road. If the 2 teams played in a series, the Pistons should win that matchup.

I may not get the best answer for this, because you are obviously a Pistons fan and I am not, but there are several reasons, and if you are open minded, you will see that I am right.\n\n1.  Detroit is the 2006 version LA Lakers of the 2004 NBA Finals. A favorite to win, yet so cocky that they believe that they cannot lose.  The media has only perpetuated this. i.e. Even after almost falling to the Cavs (the Cavs?!) most people had them as favorites against the Heat.  Had the media pegged the Pistons as even or underdogs, that may have motivated them some, but as Flip Saunders has said himself, Detroit feels like the "Fat Cats."  \n\n2.  Miami only had their "core" together for 9 games (8 or 9, im not sure) this entire season.  Thats not much for a team that was assembled about 7 months ago.  They are just now finding out how to play as a team.\n\n3.  No one thinks about the fact that Detroit and Miami have the same record in the second half of the season.  Thats right, Detroit DOES NOT have a better record than Miami in the second half of the season, and the Heat, have a far better playoff record than the Pistons.  As Shaq has said, "the regular season don't mean nothing."\n\n4.  Miami is a deeper team than Detroit.  Look at Detroit, after McDyess and maybe Hunter, they have no one coming off the bench that is a threat.  Detroit was deeper last year, but foolishly made a trade with the Magic that only made them worse.  In effect, Detroit gambled that their starting five would not get injured or fatigued.\n\n5.  As a Piston fan, you're tired of hearing this, I'm sure, as I am tired of saying it, but lets face the facts, Wade and O'neal would have gone to the Finals last year, had they not BOTH been injured.  \n\n6.  The Pistons never admit that they need to adjust anything.  Example, whenever the Pistons lost games this year it was attributed to "boredom" with the NBA.  C'mon, boredom?  Their "If it aint rought it aint right" slogan is a cop out.  And whenever they lose (especially to the Heat) they give no credit to Miami, which has infuriated, and motivated them.  Admittedly, the Pistons ARE the best comeback team in the NBA, but do they LIKE going down 3-2 or 3-1, I dont think so.\n\n7.  The emergence of a true superstar.  Dwyane Wade is becoming a super-superstar in front of their very eyes.  The best defense cannot stop him, no one can stop him.  Dwyane Wade is becoming the Flash.\n\nHaving said all that, I will also tell you what every other Heat fan won't.  I am scared shitless, that SOMEHOW Detroit will win the series.  I mean if they win the Next 2 games, game 7 is up for grabs, and Phoenix did it earlier this year, and San Antonio almost did it.  So although it is not likely, it is possible, that Detroit will win.  I know it and every Miami fan on the planet knows it.  But thats where we differ, Miami fans and players admit that they can be beaten, whereas, Detroit fans and Pistons will still think they can win, even after they've lost.  I hope this is Miami's year, and it SEEMS like it, but if anyone can beat them, it's Detroit.\n\nGO HEAT!

that is a hard question to answer so telling you now wouldn't really be worth it. Heats, Spurs, Pistons one of the Three will carry home the glory. But i want Heats to win and they can if they get their team in prefect sync. cause thats an all star team you looking at

Will they, I can assure you that no human being can tell you that for sure, people will guess and speculate on it. My view is they show that they can beat the pistons so there is hope, however it will be very tough. Just keep this in mind the beauty in Sports is that sometimes the result of a game, series or competition is unpredictable. Upsets have happened plenty in the past and this will be far from the biggest ever.

How 'bout the 88-89 to 90-91 Detroit Pistons\n\nThey were just a good basketball team who were solid at every position, had a deep bench and great coaching. If not for a Dennis Rodman ill advised 3 pointer they would have won 3 titles in a row.\n\nFor evidence I point to the fact that they were able to contain Jordan and Pippen while both were in their prime. What failed the Pistons more than anything as the Bulls blew past them was that they all got old around the same time and the younger, hungrier Bulls led by Jordan and Pippen eventually prevailed. \n\nI agree with an above posting to that mentioned the Bulls that went 72-10 but remember there was expansion during this period (Raptors, Grizzlies, Magic, Heat, Hornets) which may have inflated that win total.

DETROIT BASKETBALL!!!!!!!!! They have the most complete team in the NBA.... Richard Hamilton, Chauncy Billups and Both of the Wallace's. They just keep kickin butt. I have hamilton and Billups on my fantasy basketball team and they just put up some numbers. Billups if avg more pts then last year and is 3rd in the NBA in assist. \n\nDetroit hands down!!!!
