I would say the same thing. I like when all the important things are mentioned.

Pistons may have very well won in 89 anyway. They had a great team and were very worthy champions. But you can't just point out the bad breaks in other years and ignore the good ones when they got over the hump. Both are part of sports.

They caught two good ones in those '89 finals, and it should always be part of the narrative. I believe I've read that Riley was putting the Lakers through grueling practices before the finals and Byron got hurt in practice.....maybe just credit Daly's approach or something, if it's gotta be spun pro-Detroit.
