Not at all...It makes sense though, the reason you are so mediocre is because all of your hero's are mediocre...You win again!!!AbeVigodaLive wrote:rileymartin wrote:I feel sorry for you...AbeVigodaLive wrote:
Good point.
There's no way the Cavs win the 2016 NBA title without Anderson Varejo and Boobie.
Good comeback.
It's funny how SOME posters are incapable of simply writing "Sorry, I was wrong about that."
You're trying so desperately to do anything you can to run from a really stupid mistake... when all that's needed is a "my bad."
Here, add this to your collection...

Not in my book. Kevin Durant joined Steph Curry's championship team and I will never see it any other way.vcsgrizzfan wrote:Without a doubt.

As much as I hated the Bad Boys, they still don't get the recognition that they deserve for the talented group that they really were.rileymartin wrote:No, I think the Pistons won a title because the Pistons had guys like Lambeer, Mahorn and Rodman who gave no fucks on the basketball court.AbeVigodaLive wrote:rileymartin wrote:
Mahorn and Lambeer where the enforcers that did the dirty work...They were the heart and soul of those Piston defenses...
Repeat...
The Pistons won one title with Mahorn as a 7/7 guy.
And another title with Mahorn playing in Philadelphia.
And Rick Mahorn actually saw his time/production fall in the playoffs... averaging fewer minutes and only 6/5.
Riley thinks the Pistons won a title because Mahorn was on the team... AND not on the team?
Laimbeer wasn't just a goon. He was a 4x all-star that averaged a double-double for seven straight seasons.
Rodman and Dumars are Hall of Famers.
Rick Mahorn didn't fill up the stat sheet but he provided a physical, rugged interior defensive presence.
Vinny Johnson provided instant offense from the bench.
John Salley was an athletic big that gave them good minutes off of the bench as well.
Point being, the role players for the Pistons factored heavily enter their Championship success. One could make a strong argument that they as a unit were equally as important as Isiah was.

Don't forget Mark Aguirre... a career 24-PPG Scorer prior to joining the Pistons for their Championship run (replacing another prolific Scorer / HOFER Adrian Dantley).y2ktors wrote:As much as I hated the Bad Boys, they still don't get the recognition that they deserve for the talented group that they really were.rileymartin wrote:No, I think the Pistons won a title because the Pistons had guys like Lambeer, Mahorn and Rodman who gave no fucks on the basketball court.AbeVigodaLive wrote:

Indeed. And the great thing about Aguirre is that he voluntarily went to the bench in favor of Dennis Rodman. Once this happen, they took off and didn't look back.thedangerouskitchen wrote:Don't forget Mark Aguirre... a career 24-PPG Scorer prior to joining the Pistons for their Championship run (replacing another prolific Scorer / HOFER Adrian Dantley).y2ktors wrote:As much as I hated the Bad Boys, they still don't get the recognition that they deserve for the talented group that they really were.rileymartin wrote:

??????
magic = 1989 league mvp.... 23/13/8 > isiah individually
james worthy = just got done winning finals mvp. 20/6/4 average. 7 time allstar. absolute prime. definitely above joe D's 17/2/5 average, wasn't an allstar that year
kareem abdul jabbar = 1989 nba allstar, nba legend, hall of famer, arguable GOAT... above laimbeer ( not an allstar and never was again either and still isn't in the HOF )
michael cooper = 1987 DPOTY = dennis rodman 1990 dpoty ( after peak vs before peak... wash )
byron scott = 20/4/3 average >>>>> acguirres 15/4/2 average
orlando woolridge = a year removed from averaging 21ppg.. becomes the lakers 6th option ( averaging 17ppg/7rpg per 36m ) ,,, 8ppg in the playoffs for a stacked lakers squad and 13ppg the very next year .... definitely a better player than vinnie johnson at the time ... averaged over 25ppg in 1991... showing he still had it. skills vinnie never possessed
ac green = 13/9 average on 53% , 1989 all defense team/iron man, very next season = nba allstar >>> mahorns 7ppg/6rebounds,,, never made the allstar team. didn't make his only defensive 2nd team till a year later
michael thompson = 1989 - 10ppg/7reb average >>> 7ppg/5reb by long jon salley
Re: kinda feel sorry for Isiah Thomas. he should be a top 10 player ever ahead of lebron
Kareem might have been an all star in 89 but he averaged 10ppg and 4.5rpg. Laimbeer averaged 13.7 and 9.6 in 89. Laimbeer was one of the ironmen of the nba from his rookie season up until 93.

Dumars was the story of those finals. He was magnificent.
