You were talking about all types of other stuff. If you had just said "yes it was a rivalry, and the Pistons got the better of it" this post would be on page 12 already.


But okay, good, we have established that "Yes, it was most definitely a rivalry"

and your other point, which is in and of itself, ancillary to the fact of whether it was a rivalry, is something no one disputes. The Pistons were indeed better than the Bulls during the rivalry. Then when the Bulls became the better team, the Pistons plunged off the map completely and the Bulls went on to dominate the league.
