Reggie Jackson and the Detroit Pistons were just swept by the Cleveland Cavaliers, but that fact doesn't seem to have hurt Jackson's confidence. After ending a seven-year playoff drought for the Pistons, Jackson now has his sights set on one goal, the NBA Finals.

“It was a good season,” Jackson told reporters. “When you look back and have time to reflect, it was a successful season. We accomplished some of the goals that we set out for.”

“Of course, we always want to achieve more than what others expect from us – we set really high goals. The goal next year: Finals.”

While the Pistons had a decent year as a team and have shown promise for the future, there aren't many that expect them to make the finals next year. They have a solid young core to look forward to watching in the future, but as long as LeBron James is in the Eastern Conference, it will be hard to argue against any team he is on. But you have to respect the faith Jackson has in himself and his team.
