Roscoe36,

I don't what you mean.

BTW, I am not a piston hater. I have followed them since 1988. The year I came to this country - so I am not a bandwagon jumper here.

I want them to win badly but I seriously believe that they have wasted 2 golden opportunities to win championships (one against the spurs and last year when they lost to cleveland) because of their nonchalant attitudes thinking that they are way better than the rest of the league. I see the same issues in first 4 games against Philly. They have tuned out Flip.
I am not saying that Flip is not at fault here but tuning out a coach is not a good sign for a team that wants to win a championship. I believe that they will win game 6 in Philly but unless they keep the peddle to the metal and sweep Orlando (or win 4-1), I think they are in trouble.

Maybe the 2004 'ship came too early/easily and without much of a struggle unlike the 89-90 pistons and early 90s bulls. If they would have had to work for it, maybe it would have been a different stroy and we would be looking at 3 'ships and not just be talking about 6 straight trips to the eastern cof. finals.

Just my 2 cents.
