The 87 and 88 version of the Lakers aren't exactly the same. The 87 Lakers are possibly the greatest team in NBA history, and almost certainly the best of the Showtime teams. Detroit in 87 was not on some beastly shyt, they won 52 games that year. It makes no sense to think that because they took the Lakers to game 7 in 88 that they would have beaten a better version of the Lakers the year before. So yeah, again, the Pistons were not "2 plays from a four peat."Refs gave the Lakers the title in 88, no reason to think they couldn't beat them in 87. When they would have finished Boston in 6

a team can win 72 games one year and 69 next year and get no mention?
