Detroit is for real. This team is deep and has great coaching. and no real superstars for that matter. They are playing team ball on both ends and role players are doing what they need to do.

Larry is flat out using his bench to kill the lakers. He is doing a masterful job coaching and I hope he is finally able to win a tittle.

they look like they are having fun and not just "playing for salary".

I feel for Karl Malone as he is a warrior. Payton looks miserable and I can't beleive his game turned that bad so fast. This is not what he signed up for.

Finally Phil, whom is a Knick, and Red Holtzmans deciple might fall short of all time NBA greatness this year.

Phil Should have been a Knick coach before his Chicago run but Starphuching prevented him from getting the love. Fret no more, we got Lenny!

I am encouraged by the pistons for our Knicks as it proves great teams can be constucted without superstar players. Its great when a team buys into their roles and plays as a single entity.

This will be a big blow for those(like myself) who believe you need superstars to win in the NBA. I mean this will be a real big blow...If the pistons do win that is... But as bad as the lakers look, this series is far from over, I really think game 2 is going to haunt the pistons... they should be up 3-0..

isiah was a superstar. he could carry his team to victory, played hurt, was clutch...

but other than that, you're pretty right. Those 2 teams are very similar in every aspects.
