Despite being a lifelong Lakers fan, I enjoyed watching them get beat by a better, healthier Pistons team that played as a team. No bones about it, if they had played the series to 99 games, the Pistons would have won. Lots of commentary on the Web in the usual places today, and in some places one wouldn’t normally expect.(It is possible that Jason is not an objective analyst:-)

As far as I'm concerned, the most insightful post, by far, is Mark Cuban's. For those of you who don't know, Mark owns the Dallas Mavericks, the Dallas NBA franchise. Amusingly, his team is constructed with the almost exact opposite philosophy to the one that the Detroit Pistons management, specifically Joe Dumars, used in building their team concept.
