I don't know about a dynasty but I do think the Pistons missed an opportunity for another championship in the past 5 years. Some of that was beyond Dumars' control (Larry Brown getting restless AGAIN) but some of it wasn't.

Detroit did have a good run avoiding major injuries until very recently so it's just one of those things. Everybody has some down years. I'd like to see what we look like if and when we get everyone -or most people- fully healthy. I think Detroit has too many tweener type players.

"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
