This is a good point, Dre. There are well over 1,000 games played over an NBA season and very few of those games involve a team getting blown out from start to finish. There are very good players on all 30 NBA teams. I'm surprised how many people complain that the Pistons should just win every game by 30 points without allowing the opponent to make a run the entire game. It's not going to happen.
