[MrAhmed324]

04 pistons defense is so good even when the lakes get open looks the miss

[jharrison277]

@Joolazoo

look..they beat detroit 4-2...and won 2 games in detroit...ben wallace would not have won the series lol

[jharrison277]

@Joolazoo

defense is not why they lost....they did fine defensively...they couldnt score

[MichRockHop81108]

I love Docs announcing.

[viperdawg41192]

i would love to see the 2002 Kings vs the 2004 pistons. 2 incredible TEAMS

[AshED65]

2004 Lakers vs 2010 Lakers the 2010 Lakers would beat the shit out of the 2004 Lakers beat in a 4 game sweep now vs the 2004 pistion hard to say but the 2010 Lakers would show alot more Heart then the 2004 Lakers team

[redskins2k]

lakers lost the series because kupchack was an idiot and let horry go after 1 bad series, and horry later won 2 titles including a huge series vs these same pistons the next year.

[boknowsbaseball]

@redskins2k So the Lakers would have won the series with Horry? LOL. Was he going to make shots at the buzzer worth 20 points? The Pistons wins were all emphatic in this series.

[itisonlyaplant]

Larry Browns wife is gorgeous

[VedoB]

How can that stupid announcer say the Pistons had a better team when the Lakers had 4 Hall of Famers??

[franzpolak]

@VedoB 4 famers - malone was old and out, payton was being destroyed by billups offensively and bryant was putting up shit throughout the series (low to mid thirties from the field). shaq was the only one with a hall of fame performance in the 04 finals.

the pistons were doing what they were supposed to do; letting bryant shoot from the perimeter with three hands in his face like an idiot and then run the brake for easy points.

the pistons were the better team.

[Undertakerfan1986]

@VedoB u fail to realize that not all those 4 famers where in there prime.Pistons had  a better team cause they had role players.Not 5 superstars, robert horry said the same thing that year and look what happened...-_-

[50calibergrammer]

@VedoB Because 4 HOF's don't make you the better team...

[modernway91]

Darko 1, James 0

[Zongoloid]

Guys, the 04 Pistons and the 08 Celtics represent the ones who crushed the Lakers. Nuff Said.

[emancify]

Sean... Thanks a bunch for putting these viddies up. I'm trying to enjoy my short and long overdue vacation... and am watching one of the greatest "teams" ever to play the game 6 years after the fact. It's is amazing that Kobe (and Malone and Shaq and Payton) were deprived of this NBA title in 2004, otherwise; Kobe has as many rings as Michael.

[spobrocy]

Doc said it himself: one of the most dominating defensive performances of all time, and you know Doc knows defense because his 08 Celtics were one of the best as well.

[jaboo82681]

I'd say the 89 Pistons, 91 Bulls, 98 Bulls, 04 Pistons and the 08 Celtics or one of the Russell Celtics title teams (not in any particular order)

[0168196250]

I think if the lakers were to try the Hack-a-Wallace tactic, the Piston would have been sweep.

But the lakers is too proud to even think about it.

The whole series Piston manage to get into Lakers and disrupt they game. No one have a rhythm.

[Crymson1]

The Pistons didn't do hack-a-Shaq either.

[ibangedbetty12]

@0168196250 and the pistons will do the hack a shaq routine... use your brains...

[TheRatedIX7]

Chauncey Billups OWNED Gary Payton all thru out this series.

[kareem87said5]

shit quality

[VOLODMIGUELDAVID]

04 pistons would rape o8 celtics!!

[sheedrusse]

true

[DoomDarenxbourg]

@VOLODMIGUELDAVID 04 pistons vs. 08 celtics. 1 season wonder vs. 1 season wonder! winner plays the 06 heat, LOL!

[VOLODMIGUELDAVID]

@DoomDarenxbourg LOL yeah all one hit bangers!!!! vs 06 heat hahaha

[lloouuiissvviillee]

@VOLODMIGUELDAVID i thnk it wud be a good game

[kadees21]

@VOLODMIGUELDAVID I don't know about that.

[soltar76]

6:40 The Pistons are just the better team.

[VOLODMIGUELDAVID]

no lakers were better just shiitty defenss

[soltar76]

Too bad defense is 50% of the game

[playa6816]

yea thats why the "better" team almost got swept and blown out in the pivotal deciding game!

[greenhazejuggalo]

what Doc said at 7:35-7:41

Amen. That's Deeeeeeetroit basketball!

[gregpimpmack2]

greatest defensive team ever. 04 Pistons>>>>>>>> 08 Celtics.

[metahmayne]

true, too bad it didnt last. good times though

[shanto719]

I WOULD SAY THE 89 PISTONS

[Mamba219]

I dunno, the late 80's "Bad Boys" Pistons were pretty tough defensively too

It'd be an interesting matchup

[jharrison277]

@gregpimpmack2

well they faced the 08 celtics...with pretty much the same squad in 2008 east finals....and boston kicked the crap out of them 2 TIMES IN DETROIT...so shut the fuck up idiot

[hakola95]

@gregpimpmack2 Very good, but definitely not the best. The 1989 PIstons and the 1996 Bulls were certainly better.

[jharrison277]

@hakola95 i think the 2010 celtics defense was just as good as the 96 bulls...but it didnt end up in a championship because their best defender and rebounder got hurt (perkins)...did u watch bostons defense last year??..with all do respect the 96 bulls never had to deal with lebron james, dwight howard....OR offenses like the cavs or magic...or lakers

[dcdrumsinc]

@jharrison277 yeah, but did the celtics have to face better 'TEAMS? its no mistake that the sonics won almost 70 games themselves and the blazzers were perennial finals or west finals contenders.
