Yeah, in hindsight, “ninja” was probably the incorrect descriptive term. I would opt for “child-like flutters” as an alternate to “awkward, gangly, pouting swipes,” lol.

That Bruce Bowen kick on Wally World rules, and it’s also great as a YTMND.

I love that clip because Wally World deserves it. I hate him, lol.

Speaking of the T-pups, I am looking forward to finally seeing our boys in person. I scored tickets five rows behind the Pistons bench for $50. Thank you, Kevin McHale.

LAL (2.5 back, 8 games left) - Hornets, Spurs
Spurs (1.5 back, 8 games left) - Warriors, @Utah, Phoenix, @Lakers, Utah
NO (1.5 back, 10 games left) - @Magic, Warriors, Jazz, @Lakers

The Rockets and Suns are each 3 back of us with 8 games left. The only reason I put the Lakers on this list at 2.5 back is because they have an extremely easy schedule to finish out the season. I’m just eliminating the Rockets and Suns from talk for sake of efficiency. Also, I left the Dirk-less Dallas squad off from what I considered a “tough” game for the West teams even though Dallas is in the same spot as GS right now.

Our toughest games both come on the second night of back-to-backs, @Philadelphia (next Wed.) and a week later we end the season @Cleveland. I think it’s somewhat safe to say that if we are fortunate enough to make it to the NBA Finals, we’ll hold home court advantage.

But if Detroit reaches the NBA Finals, the W-L record will actually count for something besides pride. The top teams in the West are not only bunched ridiculously close to each other, but are bunched just barely behind where the Pistons are now. I remember the 2005 series against the Spurs, and if there is a Finals game 7, I would rather it be at the Palace than in San Antonio, LA, New Orleans, Pheonix, . . . .

what the hell is the league waiting for? a death?

Bowen for DPOY!

In the first half McDyess and Billups went back to their favor pick’n'roll from 2 years ago, with Dyess rolling to a WIDE open 15 footer on the baseline. That used to be his sweet spot but I haven’t seen that play in a while.

Only two things could have made that game better for me:
1) I wish Ben wouldn’t have gotten hurt. I felt awful watching him get carried of the court with his head looking straight down at the floor. I just wanted him to pick his head up and show some pride in himself… he just looked like a beaten shell of himself.
2) If someone would have kicked Varejao in the nads and then knocked out his front teeth with an uppercut. Perfect

seems to be that all the “big 3″ do is cut and paste from Piston press releases - they all write the same stuff with a few small changes

That is why my first stop is this blog and then pistons.com on to need4sheed

Great stuff - this is my big 3

If I have time I skim the so called big 3

“Kevin Garnett offered polite praise of the Miami Heat before Paul Pierce interrupted the postgame news conference and said, “Man, I am going to tell you the truth.”

Then he did.

“They got D-Leaguers out there, so I think we just handled our business,” the Boston forward said, listing some of the five Miami players who spent time in the NBA’s developmental league this season. “We’re supposed to do that. We knew this was a game we were supposed to win, and we just focused from the jump and went out and did it.”

Then he slapped Garnett on the head and said, “Let’s go.”

It’s funny enough when we laugh at it but you should give some respect to the other team. there is no rivalry there, just one man’s inflated ego. i hope someone fouls that ego outa him
