they won one championship since 1989. whoopty doo! their D isnt all it cracked up to be, they arent a very good scoring team and they don't win championships! I can name 3 (well I guess 10)teams that were FAR better than any Pistons team: 2001-2002 Lakers, 1996-97 Bulls and every Celtics team that won the unprecidented 8-peat in the 60s. anyone beg to differ? go on beg. BEG!

No question the Pistons were overrated big time. People just like to jump on bandwagons.
But dude I have to ask, what is with the name?

Actually, their D is what it's all cracked up to be... They were talking of the Pistons as a dynasty because they expected them to win the championship this year. Another thing that's special about the Pistons is you could make a case for every starter they've got that they're their best player. There aren't many teams like that, and the one's that are it's only because everyone on their team sucks.

Actually... the Pistons won 2 titles since 1989, 1990 and 2004. Are they a dynasty in the eyes of sports reporters? No. Are they a team that personified what basketball is all about (teamwork over superstars)? Yes. Would they have won the east if the refs/Stern weren't on Lebron and Wade's Christmas card list? Absolutely. Conference Finals 4 years in a row is impressive in ANY sport.

Ya, you're right, Pistons got lucky that Shaq didn't wanna play to win in the 2004 finals, they couldn't have been possibly victorious if that All star Laker team was playing to it's true potential. Pistons aren't a dynasty, though they do have good teamwork.

probabaly because they have the best core of players and they're all signed long-term. Besides Ben wallace their other 4 starters will be playing together for a long time.
