Younger Pistons’ fans won’t want to miss "Totally ‘90’s" night on Friday, February 3 when Detroit hosts Brandon Jennings and the Milwaukee Bucks at 7:30 p.m. at The Palace of Auburn Hills. The first 10,000 fans in attendance will receive a commemorative Ben Gordon poster and the halftime musical performer will be 1990’s rapper Vanilla Ice, who’s single "Ice Ice Baby" was the first hip-hop single to top the Billboard charts.
From a Pistons press release. At least we have that going for us.

AUBURN HILLS – In what many are calling a sad case of deja vu, rapper and entertainer Vanilla Ice was involved in an altercation at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Ice, best known for his hit “Ice Ice Baby” was performing during the half time intermission of a Detroit Pistons game. According to sources, a patron threw a cup of beer at Mr. Ice. Ice charged the stands in an attempt to find the patron, described as an older Caucasian male, thin, with a distinctive haircut and mascara. Failing to find his assailant, Mr. Ice attacked other members of the audience before being restrained by security.
This event has drawn comparisons to the “Malice at the Palace” incident of 2004, where then-Indiana Pacer Metta World Peace (nee Ron Artest) charged into the stands during a Pistons game.
No charges have been filed as of press time. Freddie Mercury’s ghost could not be reached for comment.

All right stop
Collaborate and listen

Something just doesn’t seem right, see?
Losing e’ry ballgame daily and nightly
Will it ever stop?
Yo, I don’t know
But we got JJ and Monroe
To the extreme we got guards of the combo
Light up the draft, but missed out on Biyombo

I'll be at 70s night Friday
when Rose Royce sings the smash hit “Car Wash”. Oh, and there’s also a Greg Monroe 70’s style poster, which I am beyond excited about getting.

Morris Day Playing Halftime On The 23d
Morris is great. Obviously, The Time won’t be there (probably only Jerome and Monte from the old band), but how you could mention that lip syncing piece of white trash and not mention Morris appearing is almost blasphemy.
I will say this…whoever is doing entertainment is overall doing a good job of bringing these acts in, numbs the pain of a shitty season somewhat.
This is DBB, and this is what we do.
That Taio Cruz dude
Honestly, never knew that MF’er existed before that halftime show. After that game, I hear that shitty song about fifteen times in the next week.
Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, at its best.
that thing looks amazing. I would pay money for one.

In better news...
I JUST BOUGHT TWO $3 TICKETS FOR GREG MONROE STARRING AS MOOSE POSTER NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(and I did it through this site’s ticket buying link, so the unsecured site that I had to re-enter my credit card number on before I could print my tickets better not result in phoney purchases on my card.)
I hear if you steal one of the boxes of those posters some blog on the internet will totally pay you $20 bucks each to send them out
Welcome... to the Wallace-hood

They’ll probably have leftovers anyways because only a few hundred people go to games any more, it seems. See if they’ll throw you a bone and give you a bunch!

No comments on the awesomeness of Teal-era Pistons
Or are all you whippersnappers too young for that?
C’mon, who didn’t have a teal Grant Hill jersey?
I had a blue Grant Hill jersey, too. Wore the numbers off that shit.
I also had a blue Hill jersey.
Never owned a single piece of teal-era gear. Rocked the old stuff or didn’t rock anything.
Word
John Crotty? Eric Montross?
Awesomeness, indeed.

Otis Thorpe
Was a quality player.
Much like another “O” Piston before him in the 90’s, Orlando Woolridge.

Oh to be so young and innocent again. When Lindsey Hunter was the next great PG, and Allan Houston was raining 3’s, and you could always count on Otis Thorpe for a sweeping, one-handed jam.
