The Pistons went to work, worked hard, and got the job done.
The Lakers showed up, fumbled around, and left halfway through.
The Pistons demonstrated what the Wings learned the hard way: A team can always beat an individual. The era of “a superstar can carry you through” is over. I’m not a huge basketball fan, and I admit, I’m bandwagonning onto the Pistons. But watching them destroy the Lakers was so much fun.
Here’s hoping the Wings learn from this.
I saw a great quote from Rick Fox of the Lakers on ESPN: “A team always beats a group of individuals. We picked a poor time to be a group of individuals.”
So, congratulations to the Pistons, and to the fans who believed in them all season.
