Reasons for Victory and Defeat
The NBA Finals between the Lakers and the Pistons starts Sunday night. Here are the top 3 reasons for both teams that could lead them to a NBA Title or a NBA Finals defeat.
Lakers
Top 3 reasons why they will win the NBA Title
1.Fire Power,the Lakers have 4 hall of famers on their roster:Gary Payton,Karl Malone,Shaq, and Kobe Bryant. Nobody has stopped all 4 of them at one time this entire season. Those 4 could just be too much for the Pistons to handle.
2.Playoff Experience,the Lakers have 8 guys who have been to the NBA Finals. The Pistons only have 2. Most of the Lakers' current roster has been with them since they won 3 straight titles from 00-03.
3.Home-court Advantage,the Lakers had a better record than Detroit in the regular season so they will have home-court advantage throughout this series. It will play a major role if this series goes to a game 7.
Top 3 reasons why the Lakers won't win the NBA Title
1.Lack of Defense,the Lakers don't play a lot of defense. They sometimes play good defense but they rely on their offense to get them through tough situations.
2.Inconsistant,the Lakers are often play inconsistant. They can play a great game and then have a bad game the next.
3.Weak Bench-The Lakers' bench is not very deep. After their starting 5 there aren't many guys who can score. Sometimes guys like Kareem Rush will step it up but not on a regular basis.
Pistons
Top 3 reasons why they will win the NBA Title
1.Defense,the Pistons play great defense. They can hold teams to under 70 or 80 points and think nothing of it. It should be a great matchup of the Pistons' defense vs the Lakers offense.
2.No Pressure,the Pistons have no pressure on them whatsoever. Everybody is picking the Lakers to win the NBA Title in 5-6 games. I haven't heard any Media member picking the Pistons to take home the crown.
3.Bench,the Pistons have a good bench. They have guys like Corliss W,Lindsey Hunter,Mike James,Okur,and others who can come off the bench and provide a spark. They must step it up when the starters come out.
Top 3 reason why the Pistons won't win the NBA Title
1.Lack of Offense,the Pistons often don't get enough points to win a game. They usually rely on their defense to win games,but I don't think that will be good enough against the potent offense of the Lakers.
2.Inconsistant,just like with the Lakers the Pistons don't play consistant enough. They will win a big road game and then get smoked at home. This will not do in the NBA Finals.
3.Shaq,I don't think the Pistons will be able to stop Shaq. Nobody has this entire playoffs. The Pistons have some big guys on their bench and they will probably play "Hack a Shaq" this series to try and slow him down.
