I received a call from my buddy Jeff on Friday night asking if I’d be interested in a couple of Pistons tickets for Saturday night’s game. Jeff’s friend is a season ticket holder and couldn’t get rid of his seats for the game against the Bulls. I had plans to head down to Detroit on Sunday morning for the North American International Auto Show with Mo anyways, so we bought the tickets. I called my friend Lindsay and lined up a place to crash for the night.

Disturbing News Items
The big story in the news over the past few days has been the fight that broke out between players and fans during the NBA game between the Detroit Pistons and Indiana Pacers. Artest got his wish with a season long suspension and will now have plenty of time to work on his rap album. I’m glad to see him go, but I feel bad for the Pacers organization, because their season is all but over.
A much more disturbing story comes from Wisconsin though, where 5 hunters were killed and 3 others injured. If all happened when two hunters were returning to their cabin and noticed somebody in one of their tree stands. After both men were wounded, they radioed back to the cabin for help. The suspect then shot the other hunters who came to help, including a woman and teen-age boy.
What is this world coming to?
No Trey
There’s talk about eliminated three pointers from the NBA until the final 5 minutes of a game. My guess is it’ll be a short talk.
#1 Pistons
The Detroit Pistons – #1 team in the World!
Luck The Fakers
I heard it would be a sweep by the Lakers. I heard it would be Lakers in 5, 6, or 7. I never heard once that it would be the Pistons winning the NBA Championship. I believed in Detroit and they came through. It was the Pistons who had the sweep, if it weren’t for a miracle shot by Kobe to put game 2 into overtime, which the Lakers ended up winning.
Everyone said the Pistons couldn’t score enough points to keep up with the Lakers, but it was the Pistons who scored 100 points tonight in a blowout to end the series. It was the Lakers who couldn’t score enough points in the series to keep up.
Larry Brown is an amazing coach and his game plans to stop the Lakers worked to a T. Defense wins championships and this team was a defensive team if there ever was one. It may have been the most dominating performance ever in the NBA Finals.
The 2004 NBA Champion Detroit Pistons
Do You Believe Now?
Detroit leads the series 2-1 and it should really be 3-0. They’ve completed dominated the Lakers. I don’t even need to say anymore than that, because if you’ve watched the games, you know what I’m talking about.
No Sweep For You!
Looks like the Lakers won’t be sweeping the Pistons. Nobody game Detroit a chance, but they walked into L.A. and stole game 1 in convincing fashion. Their defense was simply amazing as usual. Just keep working hard and good things come your way.
Pistons – Goin' To Work
What a performance by version 2 of the Bad Boys. They completely dominated tonight’s game with their defense. Ben Wallace never ceases to amaze me, but he pulled out a few suprises tonight with 18 foot jumpers. After winning the first two games of the series I thought the Pistons would coast through round 2, but the Nets won the next 3 to pull ahead. Game 5 was a tough triple overtime loss for Detroit but they played well to even the series in game 6 on New Jersey’s home court. Game 7 was pretty much over at halftime and the third period proved to be the nail in the coffin. Bring on the Pacers!
