>>No it is you that are touting a 40 point win <<
Please provide the quote of mine where I am "touting" the win.
Excuses are for losers.
As stated before, if the Mavs can play well enough to get by the Spurs and don't get beat up or injured too much (one problem they've had this year that is a concern) in the first three rounds, the Pistons will likely prevent fewer obstacles for this team than other opponents. Assuming the Pistons make it.
No excuses, this Pistons team has already won a Championship, the only team that has a chance to beat them is the other Championship team in the playoffs. If the Mavs get by the Spurs (which they won't) and get to the finals they will be crushed by the Pistons. A 40 point win in November is meaningless at this point in the season. Bottom lne the Pistons are a much better team than the Mavs.

I guess this means that the Pistons didn't really win the championship in 1989, because at that time, they hadn't "proven themselves" and the Lakers sure as hell had, right?
That Pistons squad was the ultimate example of "proving themselves", if you knew your NBA History, they lost to the Lakers in a very close 7th game of the 1988 finals with Isiah playing on a badly sprained ankle. And lost in 7 to the Celtics in 1987 Eastern Conference Final. This team also lost in the ECF in 2003 to NJ, before winning it all in 2004, this Mavs team has never even sniffed an NBA Final. BTW more good news Wings 3 Oilers 2 in (2OT), way to go Wings.
