<div class="quote_poster">Quoting ice ice BIBBY:</div><div class="quote_post">interesting...yet true points iamme I agree that the Pistons can beat the LA Lakers...actually the Pistons i believe would be the only team in the Eastern Conference that would have even a remote chance...and even then i believe that the Pistons have a great chance to win People are just so blinded by this Lakers team...for some ungodly reason GO PISTONS!!!</div> I agree with you completely on your view that the Pistons are the only eastern team that can really compete with the Lakers. the only other team from the east that i think have any legitimate chance would probally be the Pacers in my opinion. But i just dont think the Pacers have enough big men to throw at shaq as the pistons do. One more neg that i see that wouldnt allow the pacers to triumph over the Lakers as i think the pistons could triumph would be there lack of consistent big scores. While the pacers had the best record in the east. There eastern conference record spoke very poorly of how the rest of the easter teams would match up against the Lakes. On the last part of your qoute I would just like to ask everyone if they noticed as i did the lack of defense that was shown during game 2 of the Pistons vs Lakers game ( alla contesting shots) after Kobe shot his big three.
