It is often said that defending a championship is one of the hardest things to do in professional sports. Therefore, we give proper kudos to the Detroit Pistons for returning to the NBA Finals, after a gutsy run through the Eastern Conference Playoffs. The Pistons had to slug thru several difficult series under constant media speculation about the fate of their wanderlust-suffering coach. They are professionals (except when Rasheed Wallace loses his mind, God bless him) and, in the words of their coach, “they play the game the right way.” With that said, we think the Spurs will beat the Pistons in five games, rolling to their third championship in the past seven years.
