Where Does The 04 Pistons Team Rank In NBA History?

[Jplaya2023]

let's play this game.

I'll do 1980 - present title teams.

they're behind
All 6 of Michael's title teams
All 3 of shaq's lakers title teams
all 5 of magic's title teams
all 3 of bird's title teams
both of dreams title teams
both of zeke's title teams
83 Sixers
05, and 99 spurs
2012 Cheat

To me they fall in this tier
Both of Gasol's title teams
08 Celtics
06 Cheat
03 and 07 Spurs
2004 Pistons

And im a Laker fan saying that

The lakes role players were done in 04, it wasn't nearly the same laker team and wasn't nearly the same Shaq.

They Got To The Finals. Team Chemistry Couldnt Have Been That Bad

That Laker team started 27-3 and made the Finals tho

yup, outside of the big 4 their bench was horrid, payton never fit, and malone got hurt. Shaq and Kobe hated eachother at this point

people in here naming some tacky teams.

i'll say top 20-25. they'd be a lock for top 20 if a few shots went their way in the '05 finals.

edit: or maybe not. im not really going by year. i tend to count the '91-93 bulls as one team. and so on. i may be violating by doing this.

The 2005 Pistons had 4 all-stars not the 2004 squad.

same team.

and to be fair, '05 was the 1st all-star game that occurred after that pistons lineup was assembled.

Who's scoring against that defense?

2004 Pistons - 94.1 DRtg (#2)(And in the Playoffs 92)

Teams were struggling to put up 80 points against them at times
