Actually, even last year against the Lakers, you could have made the argument the Pistons stacked up well against the Lakers.


People said this after the Finals were over, but not before. Your match-ups work in hindsight, but not in foresight.



Actually, last year, most of us in Detroit were pretty confident about the matchups. There was a worry about Sheed because of his foot problems, but he was starting to get better by that point. With the rest of the country, you are correct, they didn't give the Pistons a chance with the exception of Bill Walton.

I don't think any of us expected the utter domination that occured, but I had the Pistons in 6.

errr...i take that back, it wasn't Bill Walton, it was Bill Russell.
