Joe B Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 David A & I knew it all along.... PISTONS NBA CHAMPIONS IN 2004 Quote
gail Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 Congrats to you guys!!! I was cheering for you since the Lakers hurt my Sixers when I was recovering from my surgery. And oh yeah, glad we could give you Larry Brown too gail Quote
Addie Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 I actually watched this game, even though the Trailblazers had no part in it!! It was worth it to see all those Laker butts getting kicked! Woo Hooooo.....way to go, Detroit! And to do it at home, made the win even sweeter, I'm sure! My hubby said it won't be long before the Lakers look like a brand new team...as he has a feeling a lot of them will be changing jerseys soon. As I said before, I'm just tired of LA dominating as they have for so long....when you just know that it's all a matter of $$$ to pay those big salaries to get the big talent. It's nice to see an underdog win once in a while...and I'm happy to see Motown take it to Tinseltown!! Quote
chloesmom Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 Congratulations to the Pistons and their great fans!!!!!!! Quote
David A Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 Sorry all you Lakers fans, I mean ABC/NBA adjusted every game time for the west coast people thinking the Pistons didn't have a chance, almost all sports writers/broadcasters didn't give Pistons very good odds. I think Detroit gave LA a royal spanking and all along the Pistons were the better team(not the underdogs!). Just want to thank the Pistons and the people of the Detroit and the metro Detroit are for not making a negative spectacle after the game. This is a great day for Hockeytown,USA. Again sorry to the Laker fans. Quote
Fay A. Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 Congrats to the Piston Fans. I'm a diehard, never going to change Celtics fan, myself. Quote
Addie Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 DavidA.... Hope you didn't take my "underdog" comment to be an insult to Detroit! I didn't mean it to be. To clarify....I just think the "expectation" was that the Lakers would win...that it would be harder for Detroit to win. Well...I guess Detroit showed what they're made of, eh? And yes...from what I read of the earlier games AND what I saw last night...Detroit definitely outplayed the Lakers and deserved to win. Just didn't want you to think I meant anything negative by saying it's nice to see an underdog win. The way I look at it....the Lakers themselves have the attitude that compared to them....EVERY OTHER TEAM is the underdog. In that regard then, I'll always pull for the underdog!! Quote
Hebbie Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 Better watch out, Addie......"Jimmy Kimmel Live" was yanked off the air due to Jimmy Kimmel's comments about Detroit.... Quote
Addie Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 Hebbie... Good thing nobody's deemed me worthy of my own talk show yet...huh? And anyway, I find Kimmel to be often mouthy! I don't watch his show but sometimes when I go to bed, I find my hubby has fallen asleep watching Kimmel! So....what'd he say? Can it be repeated? And wasn't Kimmel on that "Man Show"? From what I know of that show, he coulda (shoulda) gotten yanked off the air for a lot of what he said there, too!! Quote
Angie Daughter of Bill Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 David A. I know NOTHING about basketball, but I'm glad your team won!! We sure don't want you to be grouchy!! Congrats! Angie Quote
BeckyCW Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 Okay, from a die-hard LAKER FAN... Congratulations, guys! The Pistons sure earned this championship! Yep, that was very painful to watch... all 5 games, but we did it. And there's no denying the Pistons ARE the champions. There, I've said it. (Dang, that hurts!) BeckyCW (in mourning today, and waiting to see what the Lakers look like next season) Quote
Don Wood Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 How sweet it is! Dean was right -- it was a no-brainer! Quote
DeanCarl Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 No brainer is an apt discription as any I can think of for the way the Lakers played this series. The Pistons proved, once again, that basketball is a TEAM sport and the best TEAM won. If the Laker players are so interested in their own personal goals they oughta take up golf or tennis.

Lisa O Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 Hey.... me too!!!! and we still need to meet for lunch! Quote
David A Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 Jimmy Kimmel made a remark about the people of Detroit not burning up the city after one of the games. We in this area know how to handle championships, the wings won the stanley cup in 97,98 and 2002, the Detroit Shock, won the championship in 2003and now the Pistons so we can handle it. No offense taken on the underdog saying, just I feel that collectively the Pistons were the better team aand still are so watch out, anyone remember 1988 and 1989, WE'RE BAAAAAAAACK! Quote
