Wade and Shaq were BOTH injured in last year's series. No way Detroit beats them if they were both healty. I doubt it would even go 7 games. I agree with most of the posts that you can't really compare between seasons anyway.

but do u think Cleveland would've taken Detroit to 7games if Larry was coaching? Detroit was a great defensive team but not anymore
LOL, the Pistons played in eliminations games in 3 series with Larry Brown. With the Pistons relatively healthy for the most part, the Pistons were fortunate to play against teams that had major injuries to key players. It continues with Saunders. Though its not just Brown, with Carlisle, the Pistons struggle in the Eastern Conference Semi Finals. The team players acknowledge that it is unusual for them to get easy wins in series. The Pistons for whatever reason seem to play opponents not at their full strength or have serious outside issues and often find ways to struggle.
