Don’t Diss My Pistons!

MiamiHerald.com | 03/09/2006 | Shaq, Wade need each other to be winners

Simple math. Dunks are a lot more efficient than jumpers. That’s why Shaq and Tim Duncan have hogged so much of the recent winning with the one aberration being a quirky Detroit team that wouldn’t have won a title if Shaq and Kobe hadn’t short-circuited.

What an idiot.

The Pistons are 47-10. They would have won last year, too, if they hadn’t had the brawl at the Palace, which cost them home-court advantage. Rasheed is 6’11, Ben Wallace might as well be 7’, Tayshaun is 6’9.

Basketball is a 5-man game. You can’t reduce it to simplistic rules like “you need a giant.”
