They were pretty bad, everyone I've talked to has said that, Piston fans, Laker fans, even people who don't even like either team. Even without all this, the Pistons couldn't do wrong in this series, anything they threw up was going in so it probably wouldn't have mattered. When the Pistons played good defense, it was good defense. When the Lakers would do it, a lot of the time it was a foul.

No, they shouldn't be even at the end, where did I say it should be even at the end?

When a team like the Lakers who go inside and drive as much as they do attempt less free throws than the Pistons, who rely mainly on defense to win games who are a mainly perimeter team (Richard Hamilton, Chauncey Billups, and even Rasheed and Ben shoot jumpers), make, it's a little odd. Even taking into consideration that the Pistons did attack the basket a little more this series than normal.

Like I said, I'm not really that upset about it. Huge Ben fan, he's my boy.
