BETTER THAN DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIPS
Oh boy, I'm feeling it. This is going to be a good morning.
If those Bills teams were great teams, don't you think they would have at least won one? Or do you think those Giants, Cowboys, and Redskins teams were just greater?Quote:

I typed:
"Considering Ben, Sheed, Prince, Rip and Billups did 99% of the work I'd consider that particular unit a dynasty. At the very least that unit should be held in higher regard than it was/is" or something very close to that.
The Spurs are 3.5 games from missing the playoffs altogether (maybe 4, depending on tiebreaks).
It prolly won't happen, but this place will smell like my farts for months if it does.
I definitely agree that Ben, Sheed, Prince, Rip, Billups as a lineup should be held in a MUCH higher regard than they are. How many games in a row did they start together?Quote:

Who the fuck knows - don't ask questions like that. I ain't searching the internets for answers. Make one up and run with it.
They played almost 100 per season/together for something like 4 or 5 years.
My answer is 457 games played together - not started together - played together.
Now somecunt can go look it up and tell me how off I was
The Pistons will never get enough credit for what they accomplished in those years. That said they were NOT a dynasty. A dynasty is winning multiple championships and clearly dominating the field during a short period of time (in some exceptional cases long periods).
Dynasty is for the Niner's of the 80's, the Celtics and Lakers of the 80's (that hurt), the Jordanaires (that hurt) or the Gretzky Oilers. You can make arguments for the 90's Cowboys, the Shaq and Kobe Lakers or for the Spurs. If you look over a not too long span of time I feel that Ken Holland created a dynasty with our Wings as well.
But there is no way the Pistons, as great and underrated as they may be, should even be near a discussion on dynasties.
To me the Pistons of the 2000's are like the Dallas Stars recently. They've been good for a while (until this year, which is similar to the Pistons). They won a title, but were never the dominant or favorite team. They had a good 6-7 year run of being in contention though.
