And Manu’s perpetual motion certainly fits the “Goin’ to work” persona of the current squad. […]

[…] Considering our love of all things Bad Boys around here, the comment was intriguing (especially since the story got no immediate play in the local papers). But today, the Detroit News gives us a bit more detail: [Rick Mahorn and Bill Laimbeer] reminded the crowd in the third quarter not to be disruptive or unsportsmanlike, per NBA rules. It’s the same rules that are read aloud at every NBA game. Except Laimbeer and Mahorn put a new spin on them. […]
