Final Championship Thoughts
It has been over a week since the Pistons won the NBA Title. The celebration,the parade,and the awards are over. The Pistons can enjoy this Title for a little longer but they soon have to look to the next season. Even though the party is over, I still want to recap the great season the Pistons had.
Before the season started, the Pistons drafted Darko Milicic. He didn't play much all season but his time will come.
The Pistons had a very good regular season. They won 54 games and they came second in their division behide the Pacers. During the trade deadline they traded some bench players and got Rasheed Wallace in return. What a trade that turned out to be.
In the first round of the playoffs the Pistons played the Bucks. They won game one but they lost game 2. They then won game 3 and 4 on the road to take the 3-1 series lead. In game 5 they closed it out at home.
In the second round of the playoffs the Pistons played the Nets. Detroit looked strong early and won game 1 and 2 at home. NJ stormed back to win game 3 and 4 at home. Game 5 was a classic even though the Pistons lost. In game 6 the Pistons came up with a must win victory on the road. They then destroyed the Nets at home in game 7 to move onto the Eastern Conference Finals.
In the Eastern Conference Finals the Pistons played the Pacers. Indiana had home-court advantage and they won game 1 thanks to Reggie Miller's 3 point shot at the end of the game. In game 2 the Pistons won thanks to an incredible game saving block by Tayshaun Prince. The Pistons won game 3 and the Pacers won game 4. Game 5 was a must win game for both teams. The Pistons won that important game 5 on the road and then they closed out the series at home in game 6.
In the NBA Finals the Pistons played and destroyed the Lakers. The Pistons won game 1,but the Lakers won game 2. After that the Pistons won 3 straight games in dominating fashion to win the NBA Championship.
What a season for the Pistons! They played their best basketball in the playoffs when it mattered the most. They showed what they were made of when their back was against the wall in game 6 of the NJ series and game 2 of the Indiana series. The Pistons were a team that could play great when they were down.
The Finals were a laugher for the Pistons. They were clearly the better team than the Lakers. Their defense won them the Title. They probably had one of the best defensive teams of all time. They were the best team in the NBA and they deserved this title so much. Not only was this a huge victory for the Pistons, but this was also a huge victory for the NBA. They proved that you could win in the NBA with team work and great defense. They didn't need a superstar to lead them to the title. This "team' showed exactly what they were, a "team".
Again we honor The Detroit Pistons:The 2004 NBA CHAMPIONS
