A Time to Gloat

Classy? No... Accurate? Yes.
Being a Pistons fan is really underrated. People claim their style of basketball is boring, since they cut down on the other team's scoring (which is pretty stupid, when you really think about it.) This leads to them not always having to score a lot themselves, so you don't get the high-light cross-overs and alley-oops, blah blah blah... I'm so sick of hearing about it. I'd rather watch the Pistons play the Spurs more than any other match-up in the league. The scoring entertained me in 3rd grade. Now I'm entertained by good teams playing good basketball. If I want that Golden State Warriors/Phoenix Suns And1 crap, I'll watch a Harlem Globe Trotters game.

Think the Suns are going to beat the Spurs? God Bless. I'd be ecstatic to see the Suns in the finals. Talk about boring, get ready to have a team with an overrated half-court set get tempo dictated to them for an entire series, not to mention their defensive issues. People always talk about the Suns as being 'underrated defenders' (which is the same thing they say about Larry Bird.) This is because of the fact that compared to the rest of the good teams in the league, they are TERRIBLE DEFENDERS. It's like saying Barry Bonds has an underrated personality, or Oliver Miller has an underrated metabolism, just because you know someone is going to bring it up.
But not getting ahead of ourselves, we'll try and stay focused like the Pistons. When you know you have a team who
A. Is always the smartest, most experienced team on the floor
B. Has the biggest, meanest players in the league
C. Can cause defenses problems at every position and
D. Wants it the most
it's pretty fun to watch for us here in Detroit.
As a kid who grew up watching your heroes eventually fall to the greatest player ever to play the game, it feels great to know that these Bulls aren't those Bulls.
