Congrads to the detroit pistons

[Montana00]

God i hate detroit so much, and they win. it makes me so mad.
Ok heres a question. Does anyone think they can do it again?

every great team can win the NBA next year, and Detroit proved they are one. plus they have a super-rookie they didnt even use this year lol. the Pistons got mad future. Although I doubt the west will mess up again next year. But the NBA Finals are absolutely realistic.

After the game, Jackson said the chances of him returning to coach the Lakers are "pretty slim." Many of the other Lakers, including Bryant, could be gone to another team. Bryant also faces the possibility of prison time if he loses his sexual assault case in Colorado.

No shit, the Lakers can have mad problems next year..
... just imagine that:

Jackson, Bryant, Fox, Malone, Payton, Russell either leave or retire. Now that's something.

ya 10-0 would be untouchable, perfect, flawless and timeless.
but Larry Brown deserves one ring.. absolutely. He makes the best out of underdog teams. I remember Iverson's Sixers 3 years ago

[.:DayGoStyLz:.]

its like seeing the Yankees lose...Its a joy you get. Its still good when u see the Yankees loose because there whole team is a bunch of all stars that Stienbrenner BOUGHT..There championships are bought.

not QUITE the same as the Yankees lol. Only in the sense of a team trying to buy a championship, and still losing.

as for LA, first Western Conference team to lose in the finals in how long? Damn..

LOL@Darko being a super rookie...Worst 2nd pick of all time...Maybe he'll progress though, who knows?

He won't retire...He'll take a break, but he won't retire.


As for quotes, Kobe said he wouldn't mind playing alongside Shaq and Phil for the rest of his career...Mitch has to bring them all together...It can be like the Bulls...A 3peat, 2 years off, then another 3peat...LOL...or maybe I'm just dreaming.

well dont be so hard on him... he only get to play in the garbage time..
plus he wasnt picked randomly... scouts said he's the shit, and noone was really suprised of him being picked so early.. he just had bad luck being picked by such a great team.
plus he's STILL 18.
