Pistons: 24-3
it doesn’t get much better than that!!! not in today’s NBA and almost never in NBA history… only 2 teams have had a better record after 27 games…
last night the Pistons put away their latest rivals, the Miami Heat and did it well… my favorite sequence was prolly when Ben Wallace blocked a shot by Shaquille O’neal toTayshaun Prince who took it coast to coast for a slam… as far as i can tell and from what i’ve heard, last night the Heat played their best game of the season, yet they still couldn’t beat the Pistons… make no mistake, the Pistons had to play hard, but we still took the game…
one thing that stuck out to me is that this game was much more intense and much more heated (no pun intended) than the game verses San Antonio earlier this week… proof of that is when once the game was over, no one from either team offered congratulations or exchanged pleasantries… frankly, i like it better this way… this is how it was when the Bad Boys won their championships and i like a little tension between teams… makes for a good series and a true rivalry… some would say that the rivalry with the Pacers is similar, but i contend that that snafu is more between the fans and the Pacers… Pacers players and Pistons players get along well (i.e. – Jermain O’neal and ‘Sheed)…
i know there are Pistons fans out there… represent!!!
