Deeeeeee-troit Baaaaasketbaaaaall

I must say this is my favorite day in a long time. The monkey that has been the nationwide media is off the Pistons back. The media was saying all season that if the Pistons didn't make the Finals then the season was a disaster. Some of these reporters are probably deleting their articles off their laptops as we speak.

The Pistons are a resilient bunch of guys that go out every night and just play basketball together. Give this team a couple years together with the core and this bunch could be dynasty-esque.

The Pistons are Eastern Conference Champions. I am not going to talk much about the game because it was ugly. Rip stepped up in the 4th, as did Chauncey. Teyshaun Prince once again stepped up when it counted the most. His block on Harrington was amazing and critical.

GO PISTONS!!! Take down the so called "Invincible" Lakers

NBA Pregame (Ind/Det Gm 6)

That picture is just great. Pistons fans in Indianapolis going crazy on an Indiana Pacers fan. I am pretty sure that if some Pacer fan was going crazy like that in Detroit, he would probably at the very least take a nice beating.

That being said, on to the game. This game will be very hard fought. I hope the officials let the players play, because if not there will be way too many whistles. The Pacers are beginning to see what its like to have a big guy and their PG having injury problems. Chauncey and Sheed have been injured all playoffs so I dont want to hear a single excuse from these guys. Detroit will win tonight. They will not lapse like they did in game 4, this game means too much to them. Lapses like the one in game 4 have happened for every team in the playoffs. It is hard for them not to.

The Pistons will be in control of this game from start to finish. Ben Wallace will have 20+ rebounds. Hamilton will score around 27. Sheed should drop about 17. Everyone will chip in a little bit here and there. Thats how we do. Pistons by 11.

Started day at 509, I am up 9 bucks, not bad since I once had a bet that would have put me at zero with a loss.

F*ck The Lakers and the Horse Malone Rode In On

I personally used to be a Lakers fan. In fact for around a 10 year period of my 23 year old life they were my favorite team not named the Detroit Pistons. That has all changed this season. First off, there is no way possible that I can root for Karl "Gay Ass" Malone. Second off they have the best team you could legally build under the current salary cap rules, and all they do is bitch about this and that. It's funny to me that the guy who does the least bitching is the guy with the most on his mind (Kobe). Malone and Payton bitch about this and that all year along with other Lakers. Some of who are too much of bitches to even say who they are. The word anonomous is the most pussy word in the english language.

All this being said I love the fact that Karl Malone had to go to a team and be the 3rd or 4th option for a chance at a ring. He could not do it as the leader of the team. So the 436 pound Power Forward must go to the Lakers and try to ride on the backs of Kobe and Shaq to get a ring. Flop again you BALCO BITCH, if you throw an elbow at Chauncey or Rip in the Finals I hope Ben RIPS YOUR F*CKING HEAD OFF.

When the Pistons beat the Lakers and THEIR OFFICIALS IN THE NBA FINALS, I WILL BE THE HAPPIEST PERSON ON THE PLANET. IF KARL MALONE WAS TO DIE TOMORROW, I WOULD BE THE FIRST TO SEND INVITES TO THE PARTY OF A LIFETIME AT DIDDY'S HOUSE.

All this being said congratulations to the Lakers for making it through all the sh*t they've went through this season to get to the Finals. Kareem Rush, D Fish, and Kobe Bryant are the only Lakers I like these days. Nice shooting Kareem.

The Newest Superstar Just Keeps Going

The Pistons have heard about their lack of a superstar for the past 3 seasons. Richard Hamilton is trying to end all of that talk. At a point about halfway through the 3RD QUARTER, THE PACERS WERE ONLY BEATING RIP HAMILTON BY 13. IN THE 3RD QUARTER.Hamilton had 30 and the Pacers had 43. Rip has been amazing, but this was a total team effort.

Did I mention Croshere is not that good??As I have previously posted, if the Pacers try to rely on Croshere it would be to the Pistons advantage. Croshere was horrible in Sunday's game. No real surprise here. The Pistons basically controlled the entire game tonight from start to finish. Rasheed Wallace had a nice shooting game, Chauncey Billups played smart, and of course Ben controlled the lane and the boards.

This was near the Pistons best. Hopefully, they can bring the same at the Palace on Tuesday. GO PISTONS!! I love watching analysts and announcers flip-flop. Pick a team and stick with them.

NBA Pregame

This game will be amazing. Both teams are fighting for their lives. The Detroit Pistons are coming off PURE EMBARRASSMENT. Richard Hamilton was the only Piston who showed up offensively. The Pacers ran at full tilt. Rick Carlisle outcoached the shit out of Larry Brown. SHOW ME SOMETHING LARRY. It is time now to show the Piston's fans why we should be happy you are our coach. I have faith. I believe in this game we will make the Pacers pay if they come out with a lineup like they did in the last game. Rasheed must spend a whole lot of time on the block, if Croshere is in the game. Also, the defensive matchups need to change. Rasheed should not even be the player covering Croshere. Ben Wallace should cover Artest (w/ Croshere on the court). This would end the plays where the Pacers put Croshers at the top of the key and posted up Artest. The Pistons had no answer last game when these plays were being run. Rasheed should be covering Jermaine Oneal. Teyshaun Prince, Mehmet Okur, or Corliss Williamson should then be on Croshere. Croshere is not that good. If they try to run their offense through Croshere to take advantage of a match-up that will be to the Piston's advantage.

I believe that this game will show which is the better team. Due to Indiana's 60 regular season wins they have a serious advantage from here on out. However, both teams have already shown they can win on each other's home court. Sunday at 8 EST, the battle will begin. MAY THE BEST TEAM OF MEN WIN.

WHO WILL COME OUT ON TOP??
COMMENT BELOW

One Hell of a Rehab

On Saturday night Dmitri Young went 4 for 5 from the plate with 5 RBI. He hit for the CYCLE. It was his first tune-up for his return to the Tigers with the AAA Mudhens. The Tigers are among the leaders in runs scored this season. His return to the lineup should do wonders for our lineup. Too bad he can't pitch.

WILL DMITRI'S RETURN HELP GET THE TIGERS OVER .500 FOR THE LONG HAUL?? COMMENT BELOW

The quickie NBA postgame

Minnesota won. But, I don't really care. It doesn't mean much of anything other than a few extra bucks on the Daily Pick, and for the NBA. Game 6 is the big one. If Minnesota wants to show me something WIN IN LOS ANGELES. I would love to say that this win was huge for the Timberwolves. It wasn't. A win in Game 6 however, would be GINORMOUS (your damn right I said it). Minnesota played well tonight. In fact the Lakers played well tonight. KG was amazing. Sprewell played good. This game meant real close to nothing to the Lakers however. Game 6 means a whole lot to the Lakers. We will find out Monday if the Wolves are really still alive. For now MIN 98 LAL 96. The game wasn't nearly as close as the score would tell you. The second half belonged to the Wolves.
