Pistons won the NBA title 10 years ago today

[AJtheOne]

He actually played well for Utah, and made an All Star team. The achilles injury was the death of his career.

word, he was wit the Nets in like 2012 ,dude was completely

 

[ManBearPig]

man I hated those Pistons

Thats right. Hate a team full of overachieving players that nobody didn't want at the beginning of their careers playing basketball the right way and proving everybody wrong

 

[Super Cheech]

Went to Utah for the money and didn't live up to the coins


On topic...the feeling of watching my team let alone a team full of guys that had been on various teams and none were considered all nba first team or superstars defeat a dynasty and end the Lakers run of shaq nd kobe was beautiful. Larry brown a fukk boy though cause of his lack of time for dark who could of been better trained and for the way he treated players. Imagine if Carlisle stayed for a few more years...i think rick would have netted us back to back titles and at least two more finals appearances in the east.

It drove me nuts how much credit fans and the media gave Brown for that run. They were on a near identical pace with him until they traded for Sheed.

Carlisle got such a raw deal it isn't even funny. They might have drafted Melo if he was kept on as coach too.

A year later they lost to a Spurs team that is rather similar to the one that's in the finals right now. That's insane...

Really makes me wonder what may have happened if the Pistons had drafted Melo, signed their vets to smarter deals, etc. Billups can still play at a good level today IMO, Prince is still serviceable, etc - if they were on a team with dept that allowed them to rest like Pop does with his older stars, would they still be good today?

no they wouldnt still be good....billips is the only one that can still play

My fav squad EVER

how hype we got everytime Elden made a huge play
The Pitbulls (Lindsey & Mike James) half-court defense
Putting an end to the Lakers dynasty, and more importantly to me as a Pistons fan, dethroning those gay ass Net's in the East
The BLOCK
The TRADE
The GONG

And if I'm not mistaken, the inaugural year of DEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-TROIT BASKETBALLLL!!!!

 

[Brozay]

legendary defense

cant do nothing but that

 

[Playeroni]

Duncan Parker and Gino know their role, play their position and respect their coach. Imagine POP getting in Bens ass...not happening. When Sheed came and started calling out bs ref calls so did rip and tay...Pistons were getting entitled. Spurs are a once in a generation team in their sport. Great system. I have my doubts Melo and him would have worked. Would have taken many years for a relationship to develop like AI...I'll take a guaranteed 04 Title over drafting Melo dealing with Chemistry issues and doing what they were doing anyway (5 additional ECF's)

Rip in game 6 on the road against NJN :wows:

One white boy in each series getting in our ass for one game (Croshere, Scalabrine, Medvadenko )

Game 2 against Indy :wows:

Billups controlling the tempo game 1 against LAL..the MOST CONTROLLED PG performance in a finals I've ever seen.

That INDY NJN LAL run yall :wows:

The half court shot to send it into ot at home against the nets
