Also, Dave, c'mon man, you should know better! You're seeing a bad sampling frame and making an observation. Most Pistons fans don't think that the respect is long overdue. It's just obvious that team won the championship last year and got this far this year, what more respect do you need from that?


Exactly! Just win and STFU!!! Don't win, and then complain about not getting respect. What does it matter to Pistons fans if Bill Walton or Hubie Davis like them or not? I'm a White Sox fan, and despite them being 26 games over .500 with the best record in baseball and steamrolling pretty much everyone, the Yankees and Red Sox dominate the first 20 minutes of Baseball Tonight and the headlines every day. Am I complaining about a 'lack of respect'? No, I don't care if John Kruk or Tim Kirkjian don't give them their 'due respect'. I'll enjoy the wins and hope they continue, and tune the media out in the process.
