Which city has a better chance for Basketball/Hockey combination titles, Dallas or Detroit?

Great question!  My heart says Dallas since I live in Texas and am a Spurs, rather than a Mavericks fan, but if the Spurs don't take it then I would love to see Avery Johnson (former Spurs' point guard) win it as a coach.\n\nHaving said that, I think the Pistons are almost a lock this year and the Mavericks are a dark horse, at best.  The Spurs will give the Pistons a run for their money and might even take it provided Timmy Duncan and Ginobili stay healthy throughout the playoff run.\n\nAs for the NHL, I don't follow that as closely as I do the NBA.  But as far as I can tell, the Red Wings and Stars appear pretty evenly matched.  But NHL playoff hockey is sometimes difficult to predict.  A goalie can make or break a run at the Stanley Cup.

Detroit will win it because they will face the Spurs in the finals, and they have home court advantage this year so they will do better. And if they happen to play the Suns in the finals, they should kill them so easily. They could kill anybody really. Pistons didn't have the best record in the NBA for no reason.

The Heat,however this is more of a wish than a pronostic, I will say detroit will meet the spurs ... who wins I don't know!

I think they'll still win it. Unless Miami gives them a good fight, they should hit the Finals pretty well rested. Meanwhile, though San Antonio and Dallas look likely to square off in round 2, the winner will most likely face a run-and-gun Suns squad in the conference finals and get worn out. Detroit's a bit better than the West's big 3, though San Antonio stands the best chance at beating them in a 7-game series.

Not this year, but maybe next year.  Dallas will be weaker next year, that poor East, can't get anything right this year.  Detroit is their only saving grace.

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.

Gotta go with Detroit. They play with a team first attitude. That always seems to work in the NBA.

Well detroit was always good but miami steped it up a couple of nathches this year. Gotta love Dwyane Wade. I say Heat and Dallas. Let the games begin..

THE MAIN REASON IS THE CITY OF DETROIT IS AWESOME. ALSO, DETROIT HAS A LONG HISTORY OF EXCELLENCE IN SPORTS. ANOTHER REASON IS BECAUSE THE PISTONS PLAY THE GAME THE WAY IT WAS INTENDED - AS A TEAM SPORT! THEY PLAY UNSELFISH BASKETBALL!

There are good odds for the Spurs, but they have a rocky road to get there. If the favorite won every series in the west, they would play:\nThe Kings\nThe Mavericks\nThe Suns\n\nThey are very playoff-experianced, but I think it's Detroit's year.
