Paul is an amazingly fast healer.

His ankle went from 50% yesterday against us to 37 points and 13 assists in 42 minutes tonight against the Bulls.

Maybe it was the Pistons defense that caused both of his ankles to be at only 50% yesterday.

God. The announcers for the Spurs are atrocious. 1:43 mark, 2nd quarter. Bowen gets a handful of KG’s jersey. They call a foul on Bowen. The announcers are livid. “KG’s grabbing Bowen’s jersey!” They show the replay - it’s exactly the opposite. But the announcer just sticks with it. “The refs just gave the Celtics two points.” Just terrible.

They’re going to Cassell a whole lot, and it’s working. Vaughn wasn’t doing very well against him, to be fair… but Cassell is an insanely craft player. Billups seems like just the player to be able to handle him, though…

“Needless to say, I did celebrate the Pacers’ msifortune by pointing and laughing at the little girl sitting nearby, but it had to be done. It HAD to be done.”

The NBA, where harsh lessons on why its a BAD idea to have a schoolgirl crush on Reggie “Punk Ass” Miller happen.

Seriously LB if that 4really happened you’re my new hero. Serves the little twerp right for being a Pacers fan.

Boston isn’t looking too good against San Antonio tonight… They only put up 11 points in the first quarter.

Well put on all points, LB. Boney, I’ll be in the Verizon Center as well - but up in them nosebleeds. The last game I had great tickets - I could see the blood dripping from JMax’s fangs - but this go round it’ll be big screen time…

A few things:

I was at Conseco for “the block” and I was fortunate enough to be sitting in the 2nd deck behind the basket the Pacers were defending in the 4th quarter.

From that angle, as Reggie got about half way in between halfcourt and the three point line, you could really see Tayshaun (off camera obviously) closing the gap. My friend and I realized around that point that if Reggie didn’t dunk it, he might be in trouble. Then, BOOYA. Needless to say, I did celebrate the Pacers’ msifortune by pointing and laughing at the little girl sitting nearby, but it had to be done. It HAD to be done.

This also spawned a particularly fun catchphrase of “Cheryl would’ve dunked it.” It also spawned a subsequent sign I brought to Conseco which read “It’s Miller Time!” and then underneath was a large photo of the block.

Georgia is #14 against #3 Xavier in the West Region. Don’t get me started on the NCAA’s screwjob sticking the #24 ranked and #22 RPI Indiana Hoosiers with an indefensible 8 seed (against a solid #9 Arkansas) in UNC’s bracket. Thanks for ANOTHER death sentence, Myles Brand.

Also, I figured no one would, but how am I the only one who wanted to comment on Jarvis’s DEFENSE in the second quarter as well? Apparently the Hornets thought Bonzi on offense was a mismatch for Jarvis on defense. Well, Jarvis shut down Bonzi on 3 consecutive touches, including a steal. The scouting reports on Hayes playing “average” defense are far from the truth. That guy is a GOOD defender. He’s not superior, but he is definitely good. And yeah, his shooting was nasty yesterday.

We match up well against the Lakers. We always shut Kobe down even when they win. I’d give it to us in 6 games if it ended up being the NBA Finals.

Nice to see people backing off Flip and the ledge too. I have been saying this for most of the season now, but all’s well in Pistons land come win or loss, until the ECF presumably.

just secured my Wizards’ “dream seat” tickets to sit at the end of the Pistons bench for next Sunday’s game here in Washington…

Of all the autographs I’m going to try and get, I will definitely push to get my “Jason Maxiell eats babies” shirt signed by the babyeater himself…

keep your TVs turned up, for every missed free throw your boy here will be yelling “ball don’t lie!”

ha yeah…i think they play xavier first round but I’m not sure about that…I know they’re not a 16 seed, I think they’re 11.

By the way, I don’t know Georgia’s tournament chances (I know the SEC sucks), but if Jarvis is really getting motivated by their play, we better hope that they do well.
