The 2004 Pistons are the 2nd best team of the decade, after the 2001 Lakers. This should be a popular comment.

probably the best defense of the decade but no way a team that averaged like 80 points a game should be considered one of the best of the decade imo.

Well, since I had the Lakers page up it was easy to navigate to the Pistons page:

54-28, Finished 2nd in NBA Central Division

So a team that didn't even win its own division is the second best team of the decade? Their PD was only +5.8 so that's not a great argument either.

You shouldn't have given Vyse your 2+2 password.

They didn't even have the best defense that year, either (San Antonio)

Vyse, wtf is your obsession with using this word??? Did you just take an Intro to Logic class last semester or something?


bitch moan count

Haha, I knew that would get everyone's goat.

When they traded for Rasheed Wallace, the Pistons were 34-23, 7 games behind the Pacers who were completely steamrolling the Eastern conference. They finished the season 20-5 with a point differential of 17.2. Combined with their performance in the playoffs, I think they definitely have a claim as one of the best teams of the decade.

remember though they picked up sheed mid season. the t-wolves had the most wins that season if i remember correctly which to me is more than enough evidence to put KG into the list of the all time greats. if i told you that a team that started cassel, spree, wally, kg and olewakandi, that had no bench and was coached by flip saunders was going to finish with the best record in the nba and more wins than a lakers team that started gp, kobe, rick fox, malone and shaq, had a solid bench and was coached by phil jackson you would have called me absolutely crazy.

I don't think either of these two teams are correct, and that's even excluding the '99-'00 Lakers for playing two months in the previous decade. 2001 was probably the worst of the 3 Lakers championship teams.

Whose the early season ROY favorite?

I like Al Horford.

If you are asking who is the actual favorite, still KD. Yi was gaining momentum, but the buzzer-beater on Friday will have outsized impact.

As for who it should be: Jamario Moon. I'm only 51% kidding.
