PG: Billups>Udrih
This matchup is really a no brainer, the swag and savy of Billups will overpower Udrih in every aspect of this series
SG: Richardson>Jasikevicius
Again this is another huge advantage for the pistons as J-Rich is a terrific scorer and good defender. He should be able to shut down any of the offense that Jasikevicius throws at him
SF: Thomas<Butler
The young Caron Butler should be able to have a big series against Tyrus Thomas. Caron has really proven that he can score for this Cavs team. I look for him to have a very nice series
PF: Wallace<Brand
This matchup should be the most intriguing of the series. Brand's low post abilty against Sheed's high post offense. I think these two will probally cancel each other out, but with brands rebounding he has the slight advantage.
C: Howard>Curry
Howard has been the Pistons best player over the last month or so and i dont expect it to change in this series. He should be a dominating force in the low block and be a factor in this series
Bench: Detroit>Cleveland
With the like of T.J. Ford, Morris Peterson, and Rodney Stuckey on the bench the Pistons eaisly take this category over the cavs who feature Antonie Walker as there 6th man
Series Predicton: Detroit>Cleveland in 6
Detroit's backcourt is just going to be to much against the cavs who really have issues at the PG and SG spots, although if Brand and Butler have big series it could go 7 games.
MVP of Series Prediction: Chauncey Billups
