This is what Detroit hopes to avoid:
The only defending NBA champions who were swept in the Finals the following season are the 1983 and 1989 Lakers.
I’d like to see a Spurs sweep because they didn’t chicken out on the Olympics like the Pistons did. Those big, strong guys were afraid of terrorists, unlike the little girls on the gymnastics team who went. Yeah, their coach was there but so was Popovich.
Go Spurs!
