How do these "Bad Boys" compare to the Thomas/Laimbeer/Rodman/Dumars teams?

[Journeyman]

These Pistons are bad, that is not the question..they are very bad when it comes to filling the basket with the ball...or has the game changed that much...


Current Bad Boys

Ben Wallace
Rasheed Wallace
Rip Hamilton
Chauncey Billups
Tashaun Prince
Corliss Williamson

Original Bad MoFo's

Isiah Thomas
Joe Dumars
Bill Laimbeer
Dennis Rodman
Adrian Dantley
Vinnie Johnson
John Salley
Edwards (first name escapes me)

The originals would wipe the floor with these bricklayers...

In a BLOWOUT!

This is how bad the league has gotten...

 

[Someonebutnotme]

I think one was mark aguirre not Dantley?

 

[DickyW]

Someone is correct. Isiah wanted his buddy Aguirre on the team so A.D was out.

 

[Journeyman]

Yeah just went back and looked

..I knew I was missing someone lol...

Both liked to shoot...hey, I am human

lol

 

[Journeyman]

Looking back they were one DEEP ASS TEAM...the reserves were damn good!

JMan
How dare you forget the baddest boy of all Rick Mahorn. The old bad boys would have crushed the new. Too much depth but I have to admitt it would be a war on the boards.

 

[Journeyman]

It wasn't like I did this for a term paper Dicky lol...it was off the cuff stuff as always...I knew there were more players...this would be no contest man

 

[Journeyman]

What would this current team do to have a player like The Microwave coming off the bench, Vinnie Johnson?

He would be their best scorer

 

[DickyW]

LOL I know Jman I still give your paper a B+

BTW it's James Edwards and looking back he was a HUGE piece of the puzzle. He was a bitch in the paint

 

[Journeyman]

Yes HE was...I couldn't think of his first name...I could see him just couldn't think of it...

I had 'Lavell' stuck in my head

(no fun looking stuff up)

the problem here is that 'the current bad boys' arent really bad boy they dont intimidate they just pkay defense.. . the team of the past shot the ball better, had more playmakers and would occasionally toss an elbow or throw a hard foul just becuase they felt like it. . .bill laimbeer could knock down 3's, big ben can barley nail it from 5 ft.
