While all the starters return from last season's championship team, the Pistons' bench has been almost entirely overhauled -- for the better, according to the players.

Instead of Corliss Williamson and Mehmet Okur, Larry Brown's options now include Antonio McDyess, a former All-Star who used to average 20 points as a starter, and Carlos Delfino, a 22-year-old with a terrific perimeter game. And those are just two of the players expected to help out when Detroit's top five need a boost.

Detroit will be strong! Wait 'till you see Dyess and Delfino come off the bench and do their thing. Back-to-back is how the Pistons will get down.

Sure they will and it's a bad thing for us cuz we'd have to deal them and indy in the playoffs... But speaking of 'Tonio I don't think he'll ever be in shape, I mean that he will ever be able to recover and become at least half as a good player as he used to be.
