While most of the media has raved about the Indiana Pacers and all their new additions as well as the Boston Celtics solidifying themselves as a 50-win team, the Pistons are the worst matchup for the Cleveland Cavaliers because of their physical style of play, according to former journeyman Eddie Johnson.

Pieces like Andre Drummond, a rugged defender and uber-athletic rebounder; Marcus Morris, a tenacious defender with range, coupled with mid-season addition Tobias Harris, a versatile forward with smooth offensive skills and defensive versatility — makes a solid frontcourt trio that can make some noise come playoff time.
An established three-and-D shooting guard like Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and the impending return of floor general Reggie Jackson could make this team a 50-win team, per Johnson.
The leadership of an experienced coach in Stan Van Gundy is there, providing encouragement, strategy and being a voice of reason.
The pieces are there, but with an 8-10 record to start the season and Jackson's impending return still at least another week away, can the Pistons really put themselves on the map by the All-Star break like E.J. expects?
