a 9 point win on the road in game 6, in ain't the same as Hoary hitting that 3 pointer....
"Detroit claimed a 95-86 team triumph in Game 6 that put the visitors on the short list of teams to force a Game 7 in The Finals from 3-2 down.
The Detroit Pistons of 2004-05 ... and the Syracuse Nationals of 1953-54.
That is the list."
This is a starting line-up of all cast offs...and they are playing as a team and with a tremendous amount of heart...I wouldn't count them out BF, but it ain't looking good for them:
No team has been forced to play more playoff games in one year as Detroit, which will tie the 1994 Knicks at 25 once Game 7 tips off.
No team in playoff history has ever won two road Game 7s in the same postseason, as the Pistons must do to repeat as NBA champs.
No road team has won a Game 7 since Washington at Seattle in 1978.
But win or lose...they have my admiration because they are the epitome of what a team is supposed to be.
