I was reading a NBA season preview, and I was looking over last years records for each team and I saw the raptor ones (27-55) very ugly.But what surprised me was the Pistons record (64-18) thats the best in the NBA im sure.My question is..detroit fans, how did such a dominant team not make it to the finals at least? what do you think went wrong?
We lost to a Miami team who out-everythinged us. They had the best 2 players in the series and we lost our offensive touch. We struggled with the Cavs in the series before because our offense wasn't clicking. We got in a rut offensively and never got out.

It's this easy: Flip Saunders is a regular season coach, not a post season coach. He will win you a lot of games, but he seems to choke under pressure.
We need to get back to the finals. but hey, at least we have been a consistent playoff contender for the past four years.if your happy with something, be happy with that. theres always going to be critism though for anyone, unless you win a Title..and that sort of makes me mad, but I'm thankful for this team and what theyve done.
I accidently posted this twice. lolbut anyways...the person that has turned this team towards success has been Chauncey Billups. since hes arrived weve made it to the ECF in each year. Along with Rip. he has been our scorer.
