Pay Attention: Look at how hard the Pistons were playing in this game, okay? Look at the minutes Daly gave to his front court of Salley and Edwards; look at how aggressive Isiah Thomas was and especially how aggressive defensively the Pistons were as a unit. .... Why is this important? JUST 2 DAYS LATER IN THE EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS LOOK AT WHAT TOOK PLACE: Isiah Thomas takes 9 shots in game 1 and only 9 shots in game 2; Bill Laimbeer takes just 7 shots in game 1 and only 2 shots in game 2; Joe Dumars took just 10 shots in game 1 and only 10 shots in game 3 while Chuck Daly played John Salley only 9 minutes in game 2 and played Edwards just 11 minutes in game 2 and only 9 minutes in game 3. Now a rotation and minutes along with shot attempts -- that's done ON PURPOSE and it has nothing to do with an opponent.... So look at the Pistons from game 6 here which was on a Friday and then on Sunday and Tuesday in the Eastern Conference Finals and then that following Saturday in game 3. THE PISTONS PURPOSELY LOST THE EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS IN 1991. Another thing to note, why didn't Thomas just keep coming off the bench in the Eastern Conference Finals?... Detroit had a good rotation going but Thomas inserted himself into the starting lineup in the ECF taking only 9 shots in game 1 and 9 shots in game 2 -- CONTROLLING THE GAME so that the Pistons COULD NOT win and Daly doing his part with the rotation and Laimbeer and Dumars plugging in their roles....So the leadership of the Pistons did the following: The scorers didn't shoot and the coach didn't play his front line guys minutes to succeed and what happened? The Pistons lost to a team they were 26-9 against from 1988-1990 eliminating them 3 straight seasons in the playoffs...but some how they do not know how to get one game? Funny as hell. See, the Pistons made it obvious, had the 1991 ECF been a 6 or 7 game series, nobody could see it, but Thomas and the Pistons leadership would not play ball, they made it obvious and then walked-off showing you it was a peaceful protest more than anything and they were made to do this and had to step aside so Jordan could win...why? THAT'S WHERE THE MONEY IS!!!!... Especially opening up those global markets and furthering revenues for the players as Isiah Thomas was the President of the Player's Association doing those negotiations on behalf of the players with a 53% revenue share in favor of the players.... So that's what we were seeing and that's how NBA history was forever changed and NBA basketball was destroyed for, 'The Michael Jordan Show' and guess what? The Pistons broke up their championship-contending team by waiving Vinnie Johnson and trading James Edwards to the Clippers -- this way the Pistons could NEVER compete for titles again and be a threat to Jordan. HAHAHA!...Everyone moved aside to make sure Jordan won - Isiah, Magic, and then Jordan competed against his friends: Ewing/Oakley, Barkley, and non-competitors at the Conference Finals/Finals level like Kemp/Payton and Malone/Stockton, who it took them to 1997 to even get to the Finals with all that experience and then they couldn't perform in the Finals because they weren't intelligent, same with Seattle.

Hey, wouldn't surprise me. You see this type of thing all the time in the NFL. People were perplexed with the Ravens and how they played in the AFC Championship. Teams suddenly coming out and looking like a completely different team should send alarms to people that what they're seeing is the fix. This doesn't take anything away from Jordan and the Bulls. They were great but were they as great as the NBA wants you to believe? Maybe not. One thing is certain though. MJ is the GOAT and it's not he rings that make him the GOAT. He was the GOAT long before he won his first ring. As an individual player, nobody could do what he did.

Nope. Boston would have been the real best Regular Season team if Larry had played most of the games. With Bird, Boston won about 76% of the games he played in. Detroit was under Boston all of the season. It was a classic problem what happened in playoffs: Injuries.
