    I don't know about all that. Pistons were great, but the Lakers had some weird drama that playoff run.

    Karl Malone was already messing with Kobe's Wife, and Kobe was crapping and getting crapped on by Shaq daily.

    My eyes told me he DIDN'T bring it that year, more so than at any point in his career.

    if we are gonna give the one time championship Larry Brown piston defense credit for stopping Kobe, Shaq, Malone, GP

    then credit should also go to 5 time championship Spurs system and coaching for stopping James Harden and role players

    or do the spurs don't get credit because how easy it is to stop 1 player as compared to stopping Kobe, Shaq, Malone, GP

    I give them credit. Spurs pegged us down last year in the regular season and the playoffs. We need to adjust to them to find our way past Pop.

    When we beat the Golden State Warriors 4 out of 7 times in the playoffs I’ll retract all my doubts.

    The great start is awesome but you don’t win championships in November

    Oh, absolutely. I was 100% wrong on that- and I'm not going to include some BS of "I did it as a reverse jinx"- I honestly thought they would lose, and I failed miserably on that prediction. That is always good.

    Props to them- what they did very well was spread everything around. Anderson, Capela, etc. continue to surprise me. And what I really like is that Indiana didn't play bad- we played good.
