Are the Jazz comparable to the 2004 Detroit Pistons?

I think we are similar in that we don't have a single standout like Kobe, MJ, etc., and will require a full team to succeed.
i think we are similar (from a mini pre-season glimpse) to be an excellent defensive team.

But from the player-to-player matchup i'm with Twin Towers.

on the other note, Kobe (the guy i hate most to see, watch, look at, hear, listen to comments about) is the MVP of the league and Gasol is not close. its like Jordan and Pippen. With MJ the Bulls win 65 games a year. With Pippen they won 55, with neither they won 20. Pippen is therefor with 30 wins and Jordan is worth 10... bad math of course.

Ummm...no. The 2004 Pistons held their opponents to 84 points per game. The Jazz to still give up in the high 90s this year.

Rasheed had a great low-post game.

This thread is racist. Ok we get it, both teams had alot of black players. Bigot.
