Top 10, 20?

That was the most impressive defensive team i've seen. I think they'd give a LOT of the legendary teams a run for their money.

I can name runner up teams that were better than that squad.

Folks forget the Nets took em to 7 and chauncy had to make a half court shot in game 5 to keep the series alive .. the 3OT game

pretty low, NBA competition was at its worst during that time period.

They were a good team that clicked and got hot during the playoffs. Definitely not a top 10/20 team. If Derek Fisher's 0.4 shot doesnt happen they wouldnt have gotten a title because Detroit wouldnt have beaten San Antonio that year

Then why did they compete at conference finals for 1 or 2 years before that, and 4 years after that?

The pistons were not a fluke team and were a few shots from going back to back.

In my life theyre better than the rockets, the spurs other than 05, and they could compete with any finals team really. I mean, the 96 sonics won 2 games against chicago...the pistons were better than them...

If that Pistons squad was in the Western Conference they would have struggled to make the Conference Finals most year in the 2000's

Thunder, Celtics, Lakers, Cavs, Miami and Dallas
The 05 Pacers were a better version of the 04 pistons
They won because of a combination of things that went right
