They're not THAT good, luck is a bigger factor for this tean than ever. Remember that impossible shot from Fisher in game 5 against San Antonio with 0.4 seconds left on the clock ? He'll probably never ever in his lifetime make another shot like that, but this year everything seems to go their way. If San Antonio would have won that game like they should, it would have been 3-2 Spurs, and it would have been highly unlikely that the lakers would have advanced.
This was another one of those lucky moments, although i'd prefer to call it Pistons ignorance. If they simply would have made a foul on Shaq, they would have had a 2-0 series lead.
