How was that Pistons team any different from the team that lost to SA in the finals the next year?

The only significant roster difference was the noticeable decline of Ben Wallace. It's hard to explain why the team has gotten worse and worse every year since they won the title. It'd be frustrating to be a fan of them.

As a Spurs fan, the Lakers pissed me off mightily that year. They played by far the best basketball of any team all year against the Spurs in the 2nd round, knocked aside the pretender Twolves and then completely imploded against Detroit. Either SA or MIN would have been favorites over DET, but the Lakers squandered it all.

I think the Pistons were more impressive against the Pacers and the Lakers. But yes, the Lakers played incredibly well against the Spurs, and ran well too.
If you think the Wolves were better than the Pistons, LOL. If you're just saying they would've been favored by most people, you might be right.
