Pistons Team Show Their Frustration in 1991 ECF G4, Making Hard Fouls on the Bulls 

*3 "Bad Boy" Pistons* on the Bulls team when MJ returned. Rodman still doing some hard fouls as a Bull.

@Lv supervisor Power1 I got this... 🤔... Probably every play.

MJ wasnt playing in 95 so wasnt his bulls. It was pipens bulls

Tim Cooke MJ came back and played the final 17 regular season games plus the 1995 playoffs. His first game back was at Indiana in March of 95. This was the year he scored the double nickel on NY. He wore #45 until game 2, of the conference semi’s at Orlando, when he switched back to #23. Chicago beat Charlotte in the first round 3-1 then lost to Orlando 2-4 in the Conference semi’s.

@@brete1965 That's spot on, bruh...

Not dirty

That Pistons team is one of the most overrated of all time. Mediocre to good players who were dirty as hell. You'll notice how nobody puts them up with the Lakers, Celtics, and Bulls teams of the same era.

Agreed

@@TL2354 bro😂wat

@@christophertremain7633 Facts. They could never win anything without doing something cheap or dirty.

Sure. And watching Laimbeer taking cheap shots every time someone gets to the rim. There is little skill in deliberately fouling another player. No thanks.

You're delusional if you think driving is more skill than shooting on the move

Testostxrone V2 I didn’t say it’s more skill I said it’s more athletic. More strength speed and size involved.

@@levilevi9621 Tell that to Isaiah Thomas... Both of them

So your bored on watching talent? Lmao

The actual commentary for NBC was so Bulls' driven and anti-Pistons... no respect for the NBC crew for the back-to-back defending champion Pistons all throughout NBC's coverage of the 1990-91 season.

Not exactly, Isiah had problems with Bird, Magic and Pippen but sounds better if he had problems with a Goat...

@@magicsenna Isiah wasn't Karl Malone's favorite person either.

Isiah had problems with all them dudes...Nobody wanted him on that team.

I still remember he punched Rick Mahorn on the head during a game. I think majoriy of the dream team wanted to avoid getting punched on the head

He’s a little bitch.

That was the " you fucked up". Look

YoungGun9934 😂 😂 💯

Horace Grant Has Seen Enough Of Laimbeer's Bullshit I Don't Blame Horace One Bit I'd Be Heated Too

@@jonathanwashington9199 💯

I mean, imagine if the AC wasn't working that night... he might cramp!

True

Lebron is way more physical than these tiny stupid so called bad boys. Ben Wallace, Ron Artest could be called bad. Bron would have posterized them all night.

@@dienauto4087 - LeFlop can barely posterize the scrawny, no defense, no hand-checking fools in the league now.

No wonder Delonte f&$ked his mom.

@Harold Melvin No rule change. Bulls players stepped up. When MJ was doubled others made plays unlike previous years.

@Harold Melvin There was no rule change at the time. Detroit was outplayed by Bulls. Second Vinny and Aguirre were the only two Pistons who played well. The others were taken out the series. I'm a Chicago native, i seen it with my own eyes!!!

@Harold Melvin Obviously you did not watch. MJ did not do to much the first two games. Everyone else did. MJ play well games 3-4. Reason he was not doubled as much is because once again he tram made plays not forcing him to do everything!!!!

Yeah mj wasn't gonna lose, even the pistons player's said they knew they couldn't stop Chicago

well..once flagrant fouls were introduced (that year) the pistons didn't know how to play anymore. Punching someone in the stomach wasn't just a reg foul anymore. Flagrant fouls killed Laimbeer's career

Thats why rodman when he joins bull. His mind thought would be, this is a job nothing personal. His true feelings his true nature is what in his Pistons day and he left it there after joining Chicago

@@brianmayabella5992 Phil Jackson made Rodman apologize to Pippen before they let Rodman onto the team tho.

@@dusttaker wow and thats good. Given Rodman is an unruly one. Godbless him

Rodman is not dirty like Lameness Lamebeer

Pippen didn’t fight anyone, he’s a pussy

Actually, thank the Celtics. Thomas said that they were the Pistons mentors.

Yes it is

The league should have sent them packing Crazy era when fouls like that were allowed I think the defense that Nicks and Wallace were on was a superior defense

BUENO COMENTARIO! "RIVERA" ERES PAISANO???

Exactly 😏 True ✅

The bad boy Pistons team was both. They did play great defense. But they were also dirty at times. If you think they went to 3 straight finals, winning 2 of them just by being dirty you'd be mistaken

GTFOH nobody could guard Shaq. Both Wallace's flopped more than Vlade Divac. Refs were a joke.

Ur wrong,they was absolutely dirty

Fun fact- 1991 Pistons were not old. Dumars, their best defensive player played with the Pistons till 1999.

Yes, Joey Crawford. In this video, he had hair lol.

@@munimathbypeterfelton6251 and known for being "sensitive" back then too.

@@depannist For sure. Crawford will probably go down in NBA history as being the most unpopular referee in the league.

Yes, he is the same pos

Don't smile 😃...lol.

...and still get paid millions!!!

And there would be jail time given and James Harden would get 20 FTs per foul.

Or called in sick vs Pistons which would force the owner to secretly quadruple paid his players under the table.

So true

They did get outplayed but they were also pretty old also.

@Dauntless 35 Yup. Dumars was 28, Salley, 27, Rodman 30 and Isiah 30. The only "old guys" were Laimbeer at 34 and Aguirre at 32.

Facts he a sucka

Lame Beer? OMG, that’s soooooooooooooo original! Did you come up with that all on your own? Amazing!

@@TL2354 we’ve called him that for decades. You’re easily impressed lol

Jordans response- You'd better eat your wheaties.

the dirtiest

Yeah the bulls just didn't react to it they kept grinding and frustrated the pistons

Jordan gained some muscle after 91. The rest were still skinny, until the Bulls picked Rodman.

Joel Driver so I guess the Lakes and Celtics when they played was no big deal then. It’s cool if they do it but Detroit were just a bunch of thugs.

Even the shoes were beefed up, The Jordan 8's with the straps were built for war.

@@94fleetwood49 lol pippen was not skinny

HAHAHAHA!!!.. I respect fans for their enthusiasm but a thought must come forth, 'Did Detroit let Chicago win?'... I don't know of any situation where one team dominates another for 3 straight years and then the team that's been dominating forgets how to win a game?... Doesn't make sense, not how real life works, especially when injuries are involved. Question: Why did the Pistons break up their title-contending team? Why did Detroit play so hard vs. Boston just two days prior to the ECF and now forget how to compete or play hard vs. Chicago in the first two games? Thomas with only 9 shots in both of the first two games? Ouch. Who walked off: Aguirre, Laimbeer, Thomas... gee, I wonder where those guys are from? HAHAHAHA!!

Never forget when he fucked the Suns in ‘07

you are right....Crawford was point shaving for vegas😂😂😂

No. Its still Earl Strom.

Yeah that's why he had to have Pippen okay the deal 🤝... Anybody and everybody wanted Rodman. If Phil didn't have Jordan and Pippen he wouldn't have had Rodman very long or had a successful time with him. Ask John Lucas.

Just like the Kevin McHale / Kurt Rambis foul. It was only called a regular foul. Today it would be a 2 shot foul, plus the ball, ejection, a fine, and 5 game suspension.

That is below average on Pistons perspective by halftime.

Exactly.

Who doesn’t remember?...The 80s was the greatest decade in NBA history.

@@archstanton1161 Only John Sally vinnie johnson & joe dumars shook the Bulls hands in 1991 cause the 3 main pistons that walked off the floor were mark aguire bill laimbeer and Isiash thomas

Julian Smith I know...I watched it live...They were classless assholes...But that in no way diminishes the fact they won B2B championships...Magic, Bird & MJ remember...So does everyone that watched basketball @ the time.

The biggest reason why the Pistons were leaving early in the game was because they wanted to avoid the traffic.

He's a piece of SHIT

@@wood4278 I think only Pistons fans admire him.

@@wood4278 Agree

@@Texas_Cruiser Laimbeer ROCKS, boyyyyy. 🏀🔥😠🏀🔥😠

@@da_srb_detroit7361 I was a big fan of Isaiah as a kid and actually during that time Bill was cool and was on TV shows and all that. His image has been worsened over the years with all the media and such. Barry Sanders is the man though! And I say this being a Texas boy

You meant 91

98?

Yes you are right the bad boys became the sad boys an some are still sad or mad until this very day that the reef would not let them play dirty anymore it is so sad to hear isiah Thomas try to say he did not play dirty an order his team mates to play dirty that is sad 😥

@@davidmcdonald9412 Then why did the Bulls pickup 3 "Bad Boy" Pistons in the Bulls 2nd 3-peat including dirty Rodman?

@@94fleetwood49 Well because the three was not the ring leaders an they was still good an once isiah Thomas was captured Jordan Scottie an the.mighty bulls went in to dismantle the team an take.there spoiled so the general could not retreat an attack again later so it was all most like they capture those three players an turn them against the general who was ordered them to do the.dirty anyway now Jordan being the competitive as he is new by doing this it would be more worse than poring salt an hot pepper mixed with liquid acid in a whom so he had to make an example out of the general so he could put fear in every one else that you bad not come with that dirty stuff or you will get the same thing the general got yes there he is just go an ask him he use to be a bad boy but now he is a sad boy ask him an just listen for your self

Is that a CDC approved face covering!? lol

@Ulysses432 30 years old in the early 90s is different compared to today. Guys went through a harder grind during the regular season and didn't have the same medicine/technology that they do now. Isiah was past it. He definitely had better years before then. Didn't look like the Zeke a few years prior. Very small handful of players then stayed in their prime at 30, a la Magic Johnson (and it showed, as he was runner-up to Jordan in MVP voting during the '91 season carrying a weakened Lakers team). Granted, Magic's a top 10 all-time GOATs staple. Can't really say the same for Isiah. No offense but James Edwards is a non-factor as after the 80s he had slowed down tremendously. John Salley was a small time role player. Not to knock on him for what he could do but he was more known for his fights than his actual play. Salley was less relevant than Luc Longley when he arrived in Chicago. If you compare what the Pistons did as back to back reigning champs in their 1991 season, it was pretty disappointing. It doesn't help they were in a tough division with the hungry Bulls, a dog Bucks squad and a rising Pacers team, but a lot of their play looked a tad slower and people were starting to write them off even by the 2nd round. Some felt that the emergence of Reggie Lewis and a healthy Celtics team could be the end of the Pistons in as early as the Eastern Semis. Although that didn't happen, the predictors via media were clear in what they had seen that the '91 Pistons were depleted.

What? Haha

Real talk!

More like throw a fit.. same thing he did to his teammates during the finals season when he got swept except maybe worse

In this game, Rodman had 2 NBA titles, Jordan was still a virgin, no pun intended.

And their core was all under 30. They can miss me with that trash excuse.

You can’t blame players today for being born 25 years later. There’s nothing to suggest that they softer players other than they born or little kids during this era. They would be just adaptable because they would have known no different. Btw the Pistons did play actual basketball....this video doesn’t show Laimbeer when he was avg 18 and 10 rim protecting. This was and is not basketball the athletic quality is better

Try to be a bit original and don't copy other people's comment. jeez

All 3 comments on here are unoriginal

That wasn't regular. Just regular for the pistons

There’s a world of difference between being physical and being cheap/outright life- and health endangering. Though we should all in a way be thankful Bill Laimbeer had a succesful sports career, god knows what he had done else.

@@Jeneric81 soft.

Not just Rodman but James Edwards #53 and John Salley #22. The 3 of them teammed with the 95-96 bulls offering their defensive insight with the bulls offensive insight.
