My point is if the Pistons play the way they are supposed to, they are unbeatable, and this has been proven. Somewhere around game 3 against Cleveland, they lost it all, and yes that is what you call a monumental collapse. Going from the best or second best team in the past 3 years with one of the greatest defenses(if not the greatest ever), into a team that can't play basketball and that doesn't like playing basketball in 1 playoff series. That is a monumental collapse. They strayed away from their defense and from playing "the right way", how Larry Brown taught them. Miami HAS been the better team in this series but Detroit is the better team in terms of potential and facts. If any team can come back from 3-1 it is Detroit, although it's damn near impossible with the way they're playing. Not to mention the team that was supposed to epitomize perfect basketball and team basketball over the individual concept, has finally shown that it's all about the individual concept for them, which is a crying shame.. I looked up to these guys so it's hard to believe that this is all unraveling so quickly. Either way, Dallas or Phoenix will win the title, most likely Dallas.
