It's hilarious how Thomas is trying to justify his thug. That team was dirty, and there really were no questions about it. Laimbeer, Mahorn, Thomas, Rodman were all dirty, aggressive players. They were a great team, and I still say the team that changed the league with the defense-first philosophy.

Agreed with how Malone was the weak-link. No question. Put another top PF in there (KG, Duncan, Dirk, Barkley, McHale), they would have won in 98. But it wasn't his inability to hit FTs, it's his inability to not choke.

And the Knicks were dirty as well. Oakley is the craziest guy in NBA history, smacking Barkley in a union meeting, smacking Tyrone Hill, smacking everybody.

Addressing and acknowledging a team is dirty doesn't mean being a pussy. The Pistons were. Pointing it out is just pointing it out.

Saying Jessica Alba is cute or Kate Upton is hot doesn't make you a pervert, it's simply a matter of stating the obvious.

They were both.

Mahorn didn't become the McFilthy and McNasty brothers for no reason (one of them played for Detroit, and they were termed that BEFORE Mahorn was a Piston).
Rodman was known to undercut people, or grind Malone in the low post without wearing a jock-strap.
Bill Laimbeer was known for his flopping, elbows, and undercuts.
Thomas was known to send out his "goons".

If you say they are hot while beating off on a public bus in front of kids, does that qualify for the pervert spot?

Yes that would.
