The Pistons have been on top of the East for a long time now. They're the first Eastern Conference Team to clinch a playoff spot, and they've proven that they can contend with the best by beating the sense out of the Suns. They've been a top team for a few years running. But Basketball fans outside of this area just don't want to talk about the Pistons. I just want to know why they don't get any kind of respect. The press gives them a somewhat fair deal, but other fans just talk about teams with marquee players, even if the team is awful (Kevin Garnett and his T-Wolves are a great example, or J-Kidd and the Nets.) It's a team sport, but no one respects a good team, just good players. The Mavs, The Suns, The Rockets, are all great teams, but the Pistons are not far behind them, except when it comes to recognition. Why?
