Pistons rule! They should've done something about their age on the team before the next season started.

yeah,but there was no way that Bulls won't be the champs next year.

Ah, the memories. I really enjoyed that rivalry. Both were great teams.

@TacoJohn78 There r teams that run outta gas but that's always the case. The other times it just means other teams come along, they improve & get better to beat the best team in the league. That's what the mavs did this yr when they added a center like Tyson Chandler.

@TacoJohn78 "The gas runs out a certain point whether you're 25 or 35." Well if ur 25 u can't really use the run outta gas excuse. The reason y the pistons lost in 91 is cuz the bulls just got better & developed into the better team, Pippen & H.Grant improved on their games. In 91 Isiah missed 34 reg. season games yet the pistons still were able to win 50 games, be ranked 1st in defense, Dumars was only gettin better, & Rodman started to get more rebs & was the DPOY for the 2nd str8 season.

@hangtime23ful After three straight years of running all the way to the finals,you might as well add 3-4 years to all of those numbers. Look at the Lakers this past season after three straight years playing into the finals. It was like the entire team aged five years. Detroit got a round deeper in year four that the Lakers did,but it was the same situation. The gas runs out at a certain point whether you're 25 or 35. I should have clarified "old" as in games in that span rather than actual age.

@TacoJohn78 How can u say they were old in 91? Isiah was 29, Rodman was 29, Dumars was 27, & Aguirre was 31. Laimbeer was old but not everyone in 91.

Also,the infamous "walk off" after the sweep in 1991 is the lowest of the low in Detroit Piston basketball lore,at least that of which took place on the court and not in the stands. Zeke had the drive of a champion,the grit of a champion,but unfortunately didn't know how to lose like a champion. Thankfully Joe D still had his spine and took the loss like man. Isiah is my favorite player of all-time,but I lost a lot of respect for him that day.

[TacoJohn78]

As a Pistons fan that evidently at least watched the games,there was no "fix" in 91. Detroit was old,they were banged up,and Chicago was ready to pounce, Detroit was their roadblock,they ran through it. No need to try and make excuses for Thomas and company...they were DONE. Period. Isiah was never the same after 1990,Detroit brass knew it too as they almost dealt him to the Knicks before he decided to retire. It was Chicago's time,they ceased it.

I'm a Pistons fan but the truth is Isiah helped fix 1991 and walked off because of what he was made to do. He will never admit it but clearly if you have eyes watching all the old school games seeing his performance vs. Chicago during 1988-1990 in the regular season and playoffs, then flip over to 1991 seeing how he played - he was in on it.

The NBA on CBS sucked. I'm glad it went over to NBC.

[thelastdom]

and what happened after that????? We ran over the Pistons like a track team. ..For years that no one speaks about.
