stop lying to yourself.
the pistons run was only good because they used laimbeer's idea he was the biggest most pure white guy out with a background. As he had this thing about him because his pops was a somebody in the expensive segregated illinois burbs and laimbeer thought in his head. He was the greatest white boy on earth because of this. Which is why laimbeer acts in the Bridgeport meets suburban manner.
in which he is welled in.
So, laimbeer used that privileged self confidence ideal and attitude. to his benefit to neutralize the idea of bird being this great white mid atlantic pr'd thing. Plus neutralized the mental and referee in the pocket aspect of the Celtics play. Which was also a huge part of the kc led celts game.
plus and how they, or the celts would typically beat you. which was by mentally beating you.
in every regard from visual/physical cues, to mental cognitive mini real time gamesmanship as well.
So Yes the part that was brilliant.
was the pistons beat the black coach kc jones led celts at the socalled parochial vs public school game mental mind game.
that played out in weird dynamics team to team in the pros.
namely the celts always generally had this advantage and it always came into play in outcome of games versus any team. The pistons were the first to just play heads up play. similar to the celts in the mind game and parochial vs public regard.
In that is how or why i believe the pistons played the bulla so dirty and anyone So dirty. Imo, the pistons as a unit and team mantra felt...that at the time.
the only way they would win.
was if they had to go to the same lengths, they did to beat the Celts.

when in reality the pistons were dishing out and countering.
exactly the same style and systemic mental/physical intimidation brand of play of the celtics. So imo the pistons solving the full puzzle of the celts. Plus beating them at their own mind games.
is exactly why the pistons were the way they were. Plus, the pistons made it their time.
to mostly anyone paying attention then. When in reality the Celtics were on a time. Where everything was literally theirs and others were renting space. So the pistons beating the celts made them the way they were. Which in result made them act that way to the bulls. As the pistons knew they were on from beating the celts at the mini games. Others in the league were not going to win at.
which is why they hated mj because mj had figured out completely understaffed with just and only john paxson. What to do to contest the celts. Plus how to damn near beat them understaffed and as a lone wolf. Which was a threat to the whole league. As the league was built off of stockpiling assets in the red Auerbach style of league dominance. That still existed in that era. Mj had changed that dynamic and the pistons were trying to close the window on the celts. PLUs anyone in contention to them.
of which the bulls had ramped from getting owned by the Cavs at the time via the shot. Which for mj and the bulls was a warning shot to any and everyone. Mj could figure out singlehandidly under the most duress. With no odds of winning at all to actually win.

the pistons were shook of that. As they knew, scouted and formulated Jordan rules. To eliminate the dynamic mj could change the league mantras and scenarios. Regardless of the past and what occurred atypically on tgr NBA hardwood. Which was an immediate threat to the pistons. As the pistons were one in the same with the bulls. As far as figuring out how to best a nemesis.
, without any real assets on paper.
that would typically illicit a change of the guard.

Nikka Pistons 87-90 run>>>>Bulls runs. It's not debatable

 

[Rekkapryde]

They are but do they get the respect they deserve?

They're more known as being thugs and MJ stepping stone

They are known for their goonery no doubt. WAY more than being the Bulls stepping stones (again they beat them 3 straight times in the offs).

They came up beating legendary teams in the Celts and Lakers. And the early Bulls. Their place is solidified.

I think that was Scottie pippen breh

Ssshhhhh we gotta add to the MJ mystique

Dusty Detroit nikkas still furious. Most forgotten championships ever. Bulls erased y’all relevance And the only reason y’all won in 04 was because Malone got hurt trying to piñata Kobe wife

Only places that are “gentrified” is around the immediate UIC area and even still garbage af

I'd be pissed too if a player went to the commissioner and called themselves "the good guys" cleaning up the NBA at their expense.

Who said physical play? I said the Pistons. MJ bytched to the commissioner about the Pistons and started getting the calls he wasn't otherwise getting. Those other teams weren't even as brolic as the Pistons.

Your post basically implied Jordan was crying and the nba changed rules for him. He did complain (as did plenty other teams). And he was still averaging 11fta prior when Detroit was crushing them
