MilTownMVP Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Is it that the Pistons played the Pacers in the ECF, who play in the Pistons original homestate of Indiana (the Pistons were in Ft. Wayne before moving to D-Town).Meanwhile the Lakers defeated the T-Wolves in the WCF, who are based in the Lakers original homestate of Minnesota.

NJTank Posted June 3, 2004 Author Share Posted June 3, 2004 They both started in the NBL and Miltown way to go with the Conference Finals observation. The Wolves one I noticed but I forgot about the FW Pistons. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
