For those of you who don't know, the Detroit Pistons are one (home) game away from winning the NBA Finals. If not for a last second 3-pointer in game 2 by Kobe Bryant, this was a 4 game sweep. Yet for some reason the Pistons still fail to get any respect for what they've done. I have to hear it everyday at work from these hardcore Laker fans that the Lakers are going to take the next three (of course the've said that for the last three games, so it's losing some of it's impact). They say that any team in the East is just a playground team coming to play a real pro ball team in the West. That there is no match-up. They keep saying the Lakers are just trying to stretch it out (for Las Vegas' sake). We have one more game in Detroit tomorrow night and hopefully they can celebrate at home with a victory. Go Pistons, baby!!!
