Detroit didn't seem to think so.
they killed the lakers, i remember that 4-1, lakers were lucky to get the one win (i think it was on kobe buzzer beater)
as i said they owned the west and would of owned them for atleast 3 or 4 more years, but pistons had there number, trap kobe, double shaq, and let gary payton and karl malone fuck it all up.
