In terms of pure "team" play, they were really good. They were definitely outgunned as far as superstar talent went by pretty much every team. But let’s be honest- they would have been obliterated by both the Western Conference finalists had they been at full strength. The Lakers absolutely imploded due to horrible team chemistry, and the Wolves (who should have won that damn title) lost all three of their PG’s to injury- they had to sign Anthony Carter to be their starter. If the Pistons were in the Western Conference instead of the East, they would have been the 5 seed that year. They even benefited from the East being on a relatively down year as well. Maybe it’s my bias as a Wolves fan being really pissed that all their PG’s happened to get injured at the same time in the WCF, but all teams at full strength, there’s zero reason that Pistons team should have won the title.
