Detroit has the best backcourt (Billups, Hamilton) in the NBA, and the best PG in the NBA (Billups). Don't argue, I'm just letting you know the facts, if you didn't know already.

Mr. S£im Citrus said:Best starting PG, maybe... I haven't seen as many Pacers games this season, but I've watched nearly all the Pistons games; I'm pretty sure that Jasikevicious is better. Knight is pretty good, too. And neither is as good as Earl Watson.
And, by the way, best defensive PG =/= best PG.
Mr. S£im Citrus said:Who does Billups defend in the post? There are only about three other point guards besides Billups that even rely on anything vaguely resembling a post game (Davis, FSM, Payton), and Billups can't stop any one of those guys.
Watson is a better man defender than Billups; Billups may be a better help defender, but that's more a by-product of him playing in the single best defensive system in the NBA of the past four or five years.
The Ron Artest of point guards? Billups can't even stop Tony Parker.
AleksandarN said:hmmm. Let me ask you this. How many times has a Pg scored more than 20 points in a game against Billups this year?
answer: A.I.(40%FG) and Gilbert( 32.2%FG) What other PG in the league can say that?
Bricklayer said:Er...what other PG in the league can say he's backed up by the best defensive frontline in basketball?

billups on anyother team would not be nearly as effective... especially if the team needs him to score.... who wouldnt be as good as billups on the pistons? kidd, marbury, francis, davis and even "mr. no defense" himself steve nash would be just as good if not better than chauncey.... on the spurs.... hell with nash on the team big ben would average 10 blocks a game, lol....

Let me ask you this: how many PG's in the league actually average more than 20 points per game? Here, let me help you: there are only three point guards in the league that are averaging twenty or more points per game this season: two of which have actually hung twenty on him, and the third of which he hasn't even played yet.
How about we revisit this conversation when Billups has actually played all the top PG's in the league. Holding guys who average 16 points to 13 points ain't exactly a shining example of "lockdown" defense.
AleksandarN said:I rather have Chaunsey than Davis any day. Chancey is probably the best defensive point guard in the game today. If we had him in our team we would not see as much penetration as we do now that is for sure.
