robnshell18 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Alright, I was having this discussion with an associate of mine and we got to talking about who could compete with the '92 Dream Team. As one whose never bought into the mythology, I figured teams like the old-school Celtics or the Showtime Lakers would be tough matchups. But the more I thought about it, the more I felt the Bad Boys Pistons could not only compete with the Dream Team, I feel in a one-time-only, winner take all matchup, they might even stand a chance to beat them. I was just curious to see if anybody else out there felt the same, or if anybody else could make a case for another team to give Mike and the boys a run for their money.

robnshell18 Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 Hey, those Bad Boys had a deep bench too and they had something the Dream Team never faced--a defense. Also, the Bad Boys had beaten everybody on the Dream Team not too long before the Olympics. I feel if it's a seven-game series, it's the Dream Team in five....but in a one-game deal? I think the Bad Boys might pull it off.The Trotters would flat out, put 'em on the floor.

I guess I wasn't quite clear on what I meant. I'll take either of those teams against any "Dream Team" from '92 on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
