These “Jordan Rules” called for intense physical defense on Jordan, double and triple teaming him at times and forcing him into uncomfortable positions that forced him to give up the ball. The strategy was successful, as the Pistons were able to beat the Bulls and became champions in 1989 and 1990.

Why are the Pistons so bad?
The fits, the players, the skillsets, the lack of shooting, the lack of depth, the lack of development, the lineups — it’s all wrong. It doesn’t pass the eye test. And fans aren’t stupid. The Troy Weaver era of Pistons basketball has been a stretch of the worst basketball we’ve seen in decades.
