Miss that team. I'm old enough to remember our first two titles too. Our 03-04 team was pretty special.

EC was the Shaq terminator in this series... If look at the stats you'll see that Shaq scored only 6 points vs. EC the entire series

Love hearing the broadcast team. Doc Rivers seemed to not buy the media hype as much and believed in us a bit (to his credit).. Everyone else thought we'd get swept for the most part. Chauncey's interview at the end gives me goosebumps. That is the best leader to ever wear a Pistons jersey in my eyes.

I don't think we will ever see a more well rounded team than the 03-04 squad. They are the epitome of the word team.

And that amalgam of perfect chemistry and complementing skillset will likely never happen again.

Everybody was basically a jack of all trades minus Ben that can do a little bit of everything right with high BBIQ.

My God that defense was insane. I didn't think it was THIS good. I mean there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. They can't put any shots up!! The offense is just set plays, screens, pick and rolls, perfect passing. The defense though, I've never seen something like it. That was seriously incredible!!!

You beat me to it. He was as well equipped as anyone to stop Shaq. If the refs weren't giving Shaq every call in the book it would have been worse.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy
