2004 Pistons vs 2008 Celtics in a playoff series

[dem bath salts]

Going to go with Boston. Think they had offense to match the D.
That detroit team was no joke. They were honestly giving the spurs hell. San Antonio had to come up with something special to win that series. They murked the lakers and constantly gave the Heat hell.

You really have to be a dweeb to try to argue that the 08 Pistons were better than the 04 Pistons

Box score analyst that get their talking points from RealGM need to be banned from this subforum or the quality will continue to go down

The irony of this. Lord have mercy. @Poitier why does it seem you have your head on straight on other subforums, but lose your mind on this side of the board?

Pistons would win in 6
Pistons beat arguably the same team in the pacers that year

KG tied with Sheed

Nah

The Celtics played in a tougher offensive league than the '04 Pistons and still posted sub-100 dRtg's for the season

Nope. Wade had an arguably top 5 playoff run that year and was not being denied. Period. Kobe was brilliant in 08 but not that brilliant.

Kobe had that kind of run before meeting the Celtics

besides that Kobe > Wade, but the Lakers had a better cast too even with Bynum down

u gotta be shytting me if u believe that the 08' Lakers wouldn't be kicking the 06 Mavericks asses especially with Dirk choking the way he did and Avery Johnson coaching that team

ORTG

04 Pacers - 103.8
08 Celtics - 110.2


That's like the same gap that exists between the Cavs and Pistons this year.

Celtics easily. Tayshaun Prince cant guard Paul Pierce.

 

[ManBearPig]

Pistons easily

The 08 Celtics team only won the championship bcus Bynum was injured

Bynum had 3 injury free seasons outta 10?

I don't wanna hear that shyt. The Celtics had no issues against dude in the regular season

Pistons ortg was skewed for the fact they didn't get shred until February also that pistons team offensive rating wa sunder rated because they were so demonstrative and smothering on defense

Their defensive rating in the playoffs was 101, and the Celtics relative to the league had a more dominant defense.

How do you be a some old ass washed up team that won 59 games with 3 All-Stars

the 2004 Pistons were better but the 2008 Pistons were still really good and everybody predicted The Pistons to win the series after the Cs lost game 2 at home

He guarded Kobe doe...

Whats your point?
