Jordan Downs yes. Very few finals now a days feels like this anymore, it all feels cheap and fabricated now a days. In part due to the high octane social media age with athletes, super teams, but also due to the vastly different playing style now a days which (as incredible as it is at times) has made real tough, gritty, every possession is critical basketball (the very best kind) extinct.

They don't trade for Sheed if they draft Melo or Wade. While I agree they definitely should have gotten one of them, without Sheed who knows if the Pistons even win one? Maybe they win 4, maybe they win 0. Without Sheed it's tough to know, his defensive versatility was special. In the end, it's safe to say this team should have been a dynasty regardless. Getting rid of Larry Brown was arguably an equally big mistake.

@@SL-pg4dh everybody who says Melo would throw chemistry off is smoking crack. He was a 19 year old kid, would’ve been coming to a team full of strong personalities, with an already established culture. He absolutely would’ve fit in. He got along fine with Chauncey years later? I mean, Darko was lazy, entitled and (he even admitted himself years later) and alcoholic. Did he mess up the chemistry? No, he just got his ass benched. Corliss Williamson was never a good defender, I watching his whole career with the Kings. He was undersized vs big forwards and slow footed vs wing players. Memhmet Okur was a softie on the defensive end but he had a role and just had to play adequate D.... but as a role player they fit in FINE. Melo was absolutely a better athlete than Corliss/Memo, playing in a culture of effort, work and accountability he absolutely would’ve learned better man to man defense. You guys forget he was in a zone w/Cuse, who traditionally doesn’t produce good defenders at the pro level. BUT Melo was still a teen with plenty of potential to learn and develop.

The big mistake Joe Dumars and Pistons management made in 2005 was that they minimized their bench. In 2004, thay had one of the deepest benches in the NBA, and come 2005, they had one of the weakest benches in the NBA. Because of this, the starting five were played the stew out of. The fact that they managed to go seven games with the Spurs, and could have beaten them, with practically five players, proved how formidable the Pistons were during this time. This Pistons crew will always be my favorite 🏀

But on star power I can out Malone over Klay. As for KD and curry we may not be able to put Kd with Shaq or Kobe in terms of All time. But we know Curry and KD are definitely all time greats.

Zone? Quite the contrary. Larry Brown hated zones and they were rarely used in those 2003/2005 Pistons. They were mostly about straight up,physical man-to-man defense, not to mention their help defense,switches and effective doubles were insane. When Pistons started to run zones often, with Flip Saunders as the coach, things went downhill for them. The 2 best defensive teams of the decade(Spurs and Pistons) rarely used any zones. Interestingly enough, Poppovich was a Larry Brown assistant, which may explain why they had similar defensive styles.

Although I am Kobe's biggest fan, this year it was still clear that Shaq was the best player on the team. And with the Pistons-Lakers series there was so much crap going on off the court but I give the Pistons a ton of credit.

The T-Wolves still missed out on Steph Curry. I know it's totally unrelated and happened 5 years later, but just wanted to remind you.

Former Laker Elden Campbell's pinch hitting defense on Shaq in the 2nd half helped put this game away. Big Elden wouldn't even let Shaq catch entry passes.

Lakers had injuries to fox and Malone and Payton was trash and Kobe was meh...and Shaq wasn't as dominant...makes sense...rasheed made Detroit way better...although west teams are always favored vs the east pre 2011 LeBron miami days...post mj era ..from 1998-2010 the west always had home court except for 2008. ...since 2011 LeBron only had it 2 times so the east has only had home court 3 times since 97...even in mjs last season with bulls he didn't have home court in the finals vs Utah..that's 10 times in a row from 1998-2007 lol..and in the 10 years aince only 3 times...3 in 20 years lol...
