Oh my God.. that was just one game and you guys are celebrating.. lol... believe it or not.. it happened in the 70s; where they (the Pistons) won the first game and the Lakers went on to sweep them in the next 4 games.. Whether or not it'll happen again, is left to time... but what I'm sure of is that that was just the first game and there'll be no cause for panic. The Lakers were unaware of the strategy the Pistons were using against them.. so they were caught off guard.. They decided to play them straight up and not double team Shaq or Kobe (hence they scored about 80% of all the Lakers points) and they decided to guard the other role players.. thereby limiting their effect on the game. Malone didn't score until the final quater.. I think and Payton wasn't that much of a threat.. so there ya have it.
That does not mean the Pistons are gonna win 4 games in this 7 game series :biggrin:
