Ben Wallace returns to Detroit Sunday to face Pistons

Here's what the Detroit Pistons faithful have been waiting for since day one of the 2006-2007 NBA regular season.

And that's the day when former Piston Ben Wallace returns to the Palace of Auburn Hills, bringing his Chicago Bulls squad with him, to face the Detroit Pistons. And yeah, Pistons fans have been itching to see Ben Wallace get his ungrateful ass kicked all around the goddamn court.

The Chicago Bulls will visit the Detroit Pistons at the Palace of Auburn Hills on Sunday, marking the very first time Bulls center Ben Wallace returns to the very court that made him the NBA's defensive powerhouse.

The Bulls will come into this game probably banged up, drained and tired. After all, they did visit LeBron James and the rest of the Cleveland Cavaliers in Ohio before taking the trip to Washington D.C. to face the red hot Washington Wizards of Gilbert Arenas.

For what it's worth, they have Saturday off before taking the trip to Motor City. But when you take on a team like the Detroit Pistons, especially these days with a rejuvenated Chris Webber on their roster, you got to bring more than your A game. Heck, the Bulls could might as well bring Scottie Pippen with them too. I hear he wants to come out of retirement.

And remember, these Pistons are probably holding a grudge still since Ben Wallace decided to sign with Chicago in the offseason. Of course, Ben Wallace knows that the Pistons fans are waiting and ready for his ass.

''The Palace will be rocking,'' Ben Wallace said. ''They know I'm coming.''

It's time to see if the Bulls can make a playoff push with their young cast of scorers and if Ben Wallace can make a difference in the middle as envisioned. More importantly, it's time for Big Ben to show the Pistons what he is truly worth.

And I'm betting Wallace will come up with ZERO points, ZERO rebounds and five fouls, making his value to the Pistons a mere $2.99. Sorry Ben, you know you're the enemy now right?

Can Ben Wallace lead the Chicago Bulls to the NBA Playoffs? Who will win the 2007 NBA Championship? Here are some odds from Bodog:

Chicago Bulls 7/1

Detroit Pistons 9/1

Dallas Mavericks 7/2

Miami Heat 4/1 (boo!)
