Boston in 7 but wouldn't shock me at all if Detroit won in 7. But both would get swept by the warriors led by the Kareem stopper

The Pistons had a better run but they didn't face a team as good as those Bron-led Heat teams.

I say the 08 Cs win in 6 or 7 tho

what do you think of the 05 and 06 heat then?

 

[Detroit Wave]

how would the celtics have hca with a lower win %? pistons in 6

Boston had a greater run and '08 Celtics were obviously better than any version of the Pistons during their run.

 

[Primetime21]

Boston had a 2 year run

Not as good as the 2011-14 Heat and they disbanded quickly. They had like 2 good seasons..

Pistons 100%. In my eyes they overachieved while the Celtics underachieved

wouldn't injuries affect the celtics who underachieved according to you?

Injuries part of the game. Without injuries they might have never won a title. Besides 2009 playoffs they were fairly healthy

Fairly? Lol they were wthout arguably their best player

Pistons had the better run, but the '08 Celtics would beat the '04 Pistons in a series. Better offense and better defense.
