Pretty close? What Bulls and Pistons games were you watching this year. Gordon and Hinrich (at this point in time...ask again in a couple years) aren't anywhere near as good as Rip and Billups.
Definitely pretty close. I'm giving the edge currently to the Detroit guards, and the numbers, plus experience, tell me that Detroits guards are better, but not a landslide.

Chauncey Billups: 17.0 PPG, 3.4 RPG, 7.2 APG, 0.2 BPG, 1.2 SPG, 2.0 TPG
Kirk Hinrich: 16.6 PPG, 3.4 RPG, 6.3 APG, 0.2 BPG, 1.3 SPG, 2.4 TPG
