With Ben Wallace now in Chicago, the Pistons believe they are being overlooked, which, according to Michigan Live, is making the team hungry.

For Pistons guard Richard Hamilton, the doubters help keep him and his teammates hungry.

"You can never really say, `You know what? I'm better than what I think I am' because people are always doubting us," Hamilton said. "We really thrive off of that."

Pistons coach Flip Saunders agrees.

"There's no question, this team has always been better with adversity or a chip on their shoulder," Saunders said. "Ben leaving, a lot of the national media saying we'll take a big slide because of Ben (leaving)."
