Dee-Troit! Basket-ball!
I know most of the peeps out there are hockey fans. I respect that, although everyone in your organization sounds Canadian. No, really, I've heard the post game wrap-ups; I imagine them to be feasting on a dead Moose and drinking lager out of big gold goblets or something. Maybe that's just the Middle Ages. But hey, I like any sport that steals from Shakespeare ("Puck" aka "if we fairies have offended, think of this and all is mended.)
But you have to be pumped, monumentaily pumped, for the Dee-Troit Basket-ball!!! going on recently. 70 games is a red herring. What we need, ladies, is a ring. Just like that pretty one we got back in '04. So if you don't know, don't care or are busy with your moose meat, here's a handy list of what to love about the boys in blue (or red or white, depending.)
1) The Fro. Obvious choice
2) The way the Palace crowd moans "Sheed!" as he tees up.
3) On some Piston's fans blog, they are selling "Free Darko" shirts.
4) Beating the Spurs by fifteen TWICE.
5) The way Flip Saunders doesn't control his point guard from the side, unlike someone else I know, first name starts with L, last name a color.
6) Mr. Big Shot From Downtown!
7) Rip's faceguard. Yes Sir!
8) The graceful lankiness of the Palace Prince
9) Sheed's 535,646 technicals
10) Uh, the 30 wins and 5 losses. Best record in the NBA.
11) Carlos Delfino. Today. Three three-points! He was like a little Mr. Big Shot
12) Chauncey free throws: always predicatable.
13) Ben's free throws: always predicatable.
14) The Christian Right taking on Automotion.
15) McDyess. Just The Dice, man.
