30 for 30 Detroit Bad Boys

[Playmakers]

Did anyone see this program tonight?

Outstanding work done by ESPN with covering this team.

That team was physical and nasty......one thing I never knew until watching this program was that Isiah and Adrian Dantley apparently had some beef with each other which led to the trade of Dantley and the pickup of Mark Aguirre from Dallas.

I was also caught by surprise when Aguirre flat out said the bottom line was he better than Dantley......

But the insight into the playoff matchups with Boston, LA, Portland and Chicago was absolutely amazing.

Laimbeer and Mahorn would kill some of the current NBA Bigs today simply by getting them off their games.

Laimbeer and Mahorn would have the reputation Demarcus Cousins would envy and would be kicked out of every game in today's league.

Really wanted to watch this but forgot and it was already half way through.. ESPN doesn't have it playing again for me to record it, so I'm hoping it lands on YouTube by tomorrow.

It was a great documentary and if you love old school basketball I highly recommend catching it later....

I vaguely remember most of those players because I was around 10 or 11 when they won their 2nd title and didn't understand basketball fully at that time but man when I go back and watch old games of this team in action and see the documentary those Pistons teams were intimidating both physically and mentally.

23 is right Mahorn and Laimbeer would get kicked out of games today but man those two back in day must have been brutal to play against they were thugging it up big time.

But they weren't just hammering little guys they would go after anyone who ventured into the paint.

Someone like LeBron or Blake would probably be in the hospital right now if they played vs Laimbeer or Mahorn in those days.

After watching that it's seems more like Dantley was upset that he wasn't getting his.

Special has me wanting to track down a copy of Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball. Used to rent that game all the time.
