won another title in 1991? Did you noticed that once the NBA went to NBC in 1991 the Pistons never returned back to the Finals-lol So was it the skills of Michael Jordan or the fact that the NBA was no longer on CBS? LOL

Pistons reached the Finals 3 straight years, 88, 89, 90, and could not get there during the NBC era.

Ironically, the Pistons started to get better in 2002- NBC's last year.

Then, of course, they made 6 straight conference finals.

But I don't think a change in networks would have changed a team's fortune.

Detroit was lucky to even get to the East Finals- they barely held off Atlanta and Boston in round 2. The Bulls were improving; they were going to eventually get pass their nemesis regardless of network.
