From 1988-1990, the Pistons led by Isiah Thomas were 26-9 vs. Jordan and the Bulls, the Pistons eliminated Jordan 3 straight seasons from the playoffs. The one time Chicago won in 1991, Isiah Thomas took just 9 shots in game 1 and only 9 shots in game 2; Joe Dumars took just 10 shots in game 1 and only 10 shots in game 3; Bill Laimbeer took only 7 shots in game 1 and just 2 shots in game 2 while Chuck Daly played John Salley only 9 minutes in game 2 while playing James Edwards only 11 minutes in game 2 and just 9 minutes in game 3. Plus, the refs gave Chicago a 117-76 foul shot attempt advantage from games 1-3, which, if you do the math, there was no way Detroit could have possibly won any of the first 3 games. Game 1: Chicago won 94-83, Chicago shot 37 foul shots, Detroit 15; Game 2: Chicago won 105-97, Chicago shot 45 foul shots, Detroit 25; Game 3: Chicago won 113-107, Chicago shot 35 foul shots, Detroit 36. But Jordan's highlights were great.
