I voted Lakers in 5, but wouldnt be surprised if they swept.
Detroit has one of the best defenses in the league, and against any other team from the west, would have a legitimate shot at the title. But there is NO defense for Shaq, other than breaking one of his legs in game 1, and even then, it'd be only a 50-50 proposition the rest of the way.
The ONLY team from the east that could possibly beat the Lakers in the finals is....
never mind, there is NO team from the east that could beat the Lakers.

You don't mention the Lakers defense which has two first team all nba defense members (correct Shaq and Kobe?). Plus you got the glove and Karl Malone, who may be slower then he used to be, but he is still a presence in the paint. Pistons defense is not all that stellar compared to the Lakers, and when further comparing the two teams it won't come down how well the Pistons defense holds up, rather their only hope at winning is out scoring the lakers, which will not happen.
