Happy to say that Detroit and LA rendered me wrong. A few people thought the Pistons would win, but I doubt anyone said Pistons in 5. Part of it was because most of us underestimated the Pistons, but it was also that LA played like shit. If they had won playing in such a listless, disjointed way, it would have been an embarassment for the league. Malone's injury contributed, but even if he was healthy, I doubt it would have made much difference
