[…] trip to Chicago, getting completely outplayed in three out of four halves of basketball, with only the Bulls’ Glass Joe impersonation in the second half of Game 3 saving Detroit from being down 2-3 right […]

i’m assuming his middle name is tay, sheed, chauncey, and rip. especially rip since coatesville isn’t that far from lancaster.

p.s. papiston, keep your newborn far away from jason maxiell. for obvious reasons.

Game 3 will go down as an especially memorable moment in my 20-plus years as a Pistons fan.

See, on Wednesday, my wife gave birth to our first child (a baby boy named Kael) here in Lancaster, Pa. On Thursday night, Kael was with Mom for the dreadful first half of Game 3, but a couple minutes into the second half he began sleeping in my left arm. Lo and behold, it’s like he was a good-luck charm — when I started holding him in that hospital room as I watched the game, the rally began. I didn’t let the nurses take him back to the nursery for the night until the comeback was complete.

Years down the road when the kid has been (hopefully) indoctrinated as a Pistons fan, it’ll be neat to tell him about his “first” Pistons game.

I had to get on here and relay my experience to a group of sports fans who would certainly appreciate it.

Honestly, it was priceless– a buddy of mine (and fellow DBB reader) called me aside: “you MUST see that guy’s shirt”. I walked over, was blown away, and felt like I was running into a long lost friend. Its a small world…

* Beating the Bulls for a third game in a row: Awesome.
* Getting tickets to game four here in chicago: Awesome.
* Seeing some random dude in a bar after game three wearing a “Maxiell Eats Babies” t-shirt: Priceless.

DBB is famous here in Chicago!

fel: I did, and in fact meant to mention that in the recap — that was pretty sweet.

Bulls in several years, if they’re lucky.

And yeah, that was a nice Blaha moment. I remember.

I was wondering when I would read “bulls in 7.” HA!

[…] last night’s debacle — which even prompted a Glass Joe comparison from currently blacklisted FanHouse friend Matt Watson at Detroit Bad Boys — I’ve come to a new and resolute conclusion: I’m not going to lament this loss […]

This would be a great analogy…but there was no pause function in that game.
