Same thing in the bubble, we missed our chance for a finals stint because we choked. Anything could happen in the finals. An imjury there could really change things for us. Even for underdogs. Hope Giannis can get back.

Yeah, I fear what would've happened to Tatum, given the extremely heavy load he'd have to carry every series.

Why do people keep pissing on the 2004 Pistons? That team was legit, they arguably had the greatest defense of all time. They completely wrecked the loaded Lakers in the Finals, and nearly went back-to-back after they lost in 7 to the Spurs in the 2005 Finals.
If you're going to use an example of a "weak champion," I suggest going with the 2006 Heat. That's probably the fakest championship ever, never mind the obvious ref job all series. The team wasn't as strong, and they got swept in the first round by an uninspiring Bulls team the next year.

Agreed, that pistons team was the business!

They were very deserving and curb stomped a loaded Lakers team that everybody thought was coasting to a chip. Then they ran it back the next year and went to 7 games against the spurs in a classic finals (for basketball enthusiasts). Then they won 64 games the year after that with the same core and had 4 all stars. The Pistons were good.
