Buckner and George are their equivelants of Hunter and Delfino....and the two of them combined don't equal Chauncey Billups, so I wouldn't go as far as to paint Dallas as a team that was short handed and Detroit should have beaten.
Bottom line is the Pistons were missing a starting point guard and his backup, they were missing complimentary pieces, and the Pistons still would have won this game if Richard Hamilton doesn't shoot free throws like he's 5 years old.
