Tayshaun Prince - The Greatest Block in NBA Playoff History... Until LBJ? / May 24, 2004 - Nursing a two point lead late in Game 2 of this Eastern Conference Finals series, Pistons forward Tayshaun Prince successfully chases down the Indiana Pacers' Reggie Miller and tallies Detroit's 19th block of the evening.
The Pistons would go on to win game 2 and eventually the series. Detroit would then defeat the Los Angeles Lakers in 5 games to win their first NBA championship in 14 years.
Contrary to the broadcast's assertions, this game did not set the all-time mark for combined blocked shots in a playoff game. That mark still belongs to the 1981 Game 1 performance between the Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers, who combined for 29 blocked shots. The 76ers also set the single-game mark with 20 (thanks to Corey Rondeau for the cite).

1989 Detroit Pistons vs 2004 Pistons • 3-on-3 Blacktop Simulation / In the world of NBA simulations, the 1989 Detroit Pistons, also known as the "Bad Boys", are about to face off against the 2004 Pistons in a 3-on-3 Blacktop match. The 1989 Pistons, known for their physical and aggressive style of play, were the champions of their era, marking the end of the Lakers and Celtics dominance and paving the way for the Bulls' dynasty. On the other hand, the 2004 Pistons were the underdogs who defied the odds to clinch the title in a season dominated by star-studded teams. This simulation is set in September, the off-season, a time typically used for teams to regroup and strategize. However, in this alternate reality, we're about to witness a clash of two generations, each with their own unique style and approach to the game.
In the context of the NBA, both the 1989 and 2004 Pistons represent the city's blue-collar spirit and the franchise's ability to assemble championship teams without relying on superstar talent. The 1989 team, coached by Chuck Daly, was known for its "Bad Boys" image and used a physical style of defense that was later curtailed by rule changes. The 2004 team, under the guidance of Larry Brown, won by emphasizing team play and strong defense, which was a contrast to the more superstar-focused teams of the era. This match brings together two different eras of basketball, offering a unique perspective on how the game has evolved.
