NBA Finals 2004 - BLOWOUT!!!!
(NBA.com)
-
Pistons win game, going away, 100-87, and series 4-1 overall.It's true: in team sports, the best teams always win. The most surprising thing about the Lakers is how badly they were dominated by the Pistons in this series. Look, I'm a born-and-bred Knicks fan -- I come from East Orange, New Jersey, but when I was growing up there weren't any NJ Nets -- so, the point is: I have no love for the Pistons or the Lakers. But you have to give it to Detroit: they exposed every single weakness of Los Angeles, the dysfunctional ethic of their players, their stale coaching philosophy, their false bravado. The Lakers were paper tigers all season -- a bunch of pussycats -- and yet the entire sycophantic sports press anointed them as champs by the time the playoffs started. But as Chris Berman says, "That's why they play the games." And I couldn't be happier. Screw the Lakers. Bravo Pistons for putting a bunch of soft, overpaid, Hollywood *ssholes in their rightful place. Now, the question is: how can I get a job as a sportswriter? You can say anything you want -- like: the Lakers will win in five -- still take a paycheck, and never have to be held accountable.
