Part of winning a championship is the luck of avoiding injuries. Detroit did have to fight through one injury earlier in the playoffs -- Rasheed's foot. He was really hobbled vs. Milwaukee and NJ, and steadily improved during the Indy series. Otherwise, the Pistons were relatively healthy...

BTW, regarding the other current debate here, had the Pacers beaten the Pistons in the Eastern Finals I would have been pulling for Indy in the Finals for a couple of reasons. (1) It would have been nice to see Carlisle win -- he did a lot for the Pistons while he was here. (2) I have never...

I think the two Detroit teams are close defensively, but I would give the edge to the Bad Boys. At center Ben Wallace is an incredible defender, but Laimbeer was actually no slouch either -- he did lead the NBA in rebounding one year. At power forward, Mahorn was one tough dude, whether you...

I completely understand the Lakers getting lots of media coverage for their fall. This team was put together to win this championship, was expected to win this championship, and failed miserably in the Finals. They are the New York Yankees of the NBA -- they are a big story when they win AND...

There was a debate on the radio this morning whether Aretha's signing was live or lip synched. I was not really paying attention until the tip-off, so I cannot comment. Was it that obvious? A healthy Malone may have made this series more competitive, but I do not think the final outcome would...

Wow, lot's of bickering here after a championship-clinching ass-whipping! I fully admit that I did not expect the Pistons to win this series before it began (me and about 20 million other people). I didn't truly believe they had a strong shot until after seeing them respond so well to the...

While I do not completely agree with Seth on the whole East vs. West debate, I do agree that both Detroit and Indiana are as good as any team in the West right now. I'm not as sure about the Nets, since they had two opportunities to prove themselves vs. the West in the Finals and did not play...

One thing I do find interesting in this series is the contrasting attitudes of two players -- Rasheed Wallace and Gary Payton. Rasheed came to Detroit with a horrible reputation, but he's been a great team player since joining the Pistons. He's one of the biggest cheerleaders when sitting on the...
