    Awesome! Each Piston in that group had a huge impact on the team's success in their own way. Great memories!

    The hell with Fennis! I still remember the NCAA tourney game where he went lights out and killed UCLA.

    That is a good group!

    Oh Dear. I want that.

    << <i>No Vinnie Johnson? >>



    You need to get the Microwave. I believe he still lives in the Detroit area and is very accomodating to fans. Mark Aguirre and Chuck Daly are also key.

    Love it!!!!

    Agree on the Microwave as the next target. We hated him as much as all of those other guys in Beantown.

    There's no way that photo of Bill Laimbeer is real. It shows him actually jumping off the ground!

    I loved watching those Pistons teams play. They were awesome - soooooo much talent.

    << <i>There's no way that photo of Bill Laimbeer is real. It shows him actually jumping off the ground! >>

    "Couldn't jump over an LP record" and "The next time his feet leave the floor will be the first" were two of Zander Hollander's classic lines about Bill.

    I didn't want to say anything about Vinnie (because that's a very impressive group of cards and I didn't want my first comment to be "You need another few guys") but he's pretty integral, as are Aguirre, Edwards and, at least in my opinion, Adrian Dantley.

    Being a fan of that team was the NBA equivalent of being with Henry V on St. Crispian's Day.

    James Buddha Edwards should also be in the Bad Boys. The Pistons started almost every game with him hitting a few fade away post shots. Adrian Dantley is a tough one, there wasn't really any reason to trade him for Mark Aguirre - the Pistons were in first place, AD got screwed out of a ring.

    Despite the rep the Bad Boys get for "uglying up" the NBA, they averaged 106 points per game and were 5th in FG%. Pat Riley and the 1994 Knicks did more to destroy the flow of basketball than the Pistons.

    If you read "The Franchise", the awesome book with the inside story on the Pistons, you'll see why trading Dantley was a must-do. He didn't buy into the same concepts as everybody else and hurt their offensive flow, despite averaging 20+ a game.

    Everything else you said is absolutely true, however. The '89 Pistons had 5 guys who averaged 10+ a game and Rodman averaging 9pts a game (Rodman averaged more than Edwards, which surprised me). You go back and watch them play and it's amazing how fast the ball moved. They played great defense but they were an excellent offensive team as well - and really should have won 3 titles. They got screwed in '88.
