Game 6. Tonight. In the PAH-PAH-PAH-PALACE (or however that wanna-be And 1 Basketball tour announcer dude says it). Last night, the Lakers ended David Stern's wet dream of another San Antonio/Detroit NBA Finals match up. Much thanks to Kobe's 39 points and Pau Gasol's 12 and 19 night. San Antonio fans, otherwise known as "Al Qaeda Supporters" amongst myself and an esteemed group of NBA followers, will have to wait another time for an attempt at a "repeat" in order to cement their so-called "dynasty". I won't be subjected to Tim Duncan's boring ass 8 foot jumper off of the glass, Manu's Italian Soccer-esque like mid-court flops, Tony Parker's pick and roll layups to the dish (granted, he does have a sick spin move), and Gregg Popovich's always contorting face (the scar tissue is alive!). And does anyone else agree that Bruce Bowen is one of the contributors to the ever-rising epidemic of "Bro Rape"?
Stern's Soldier's have been put to rest. All this crap about "fundamental basketball" and "group of professionals" is being put away, and is instead being replaced by a veteran superstar, his new gigantic counterpart, and a cast of scrappy, young players. Now, we can witness Boston give the basketball nation... nay, the basketball world into orgasm by shutting down the Pistons tonight. For a team I used to like (not like, followed them as a fan, but admitted I had no harsh feelings against them), the Pistons have become pretty boring and predictable. Right down to the very offense they run, which seems to require Rip Hamilton rolling off of some screen for a 15-18 foot jumper... incessantly. Chauncy Billups' has been more like Chauncy Fucksups, begging the question should I even call him "The Horse" anymore (just see how he looks in this lighting). Tayshaun Prince is quiet and is waiting for the mothership to return him to his home planet any day now (his parents watch him from their home on Saturn, thanks to ESPN's space broadcasts), Antonio Mcdyess is a whiny bitch, and 'Sheed just isn't funny anymore. Oh, and Flip Saunder's has some nice fucking ties. What's this all about really? Just kind of a reminder for all of us out there that enjoy the playoffs:
KEEP BORING SHIT OUT OF THE FINALS.
I want pizazz and sparks for my climax. Not that feeling of dissatisfaction and loneliness, which seems to follow after every sexual encounter for me nowadays. Stern, don't have any of your officiating flunkies give the Pistons the game tonight because of questionable calls Wednesday night. For once, be consistent with giving one team the screw job and the other the glory. BUT FOR THE COOL TEAM.

SEAL THE DEAL! KEEP THE EVIL OUT!

NO RAY, NO WAY
by E. Spencer Kyte, Bugs and Cranks
Ray Allen's face appeared on a Boston Area milk carton this morning.
Those with Celtic Pride are wondering where in the hell Jesus Shuttlesworth has gone.
The Big 3 is down to being a Dynamic Duo and after being extended to 7 against Atlanta and Cleveland, P-Double, KG and everyone else who longs for success in Boston should be really, really nervous right about now.
Let's backtrack a little to start.
Boston went to seven games in Round One... with Atlanta.
The Atlanta Fucking Hawks!
You know, that team that has been perpetually putrid for the last decade?
Those guys took Boston to a seventh game.
Then came LeBron.
Not LeBron and the Cavs.
LeBron.
Alone.
Sans assistance.
The King took Boston to a seventh game, one in which he poured in half of his team's points and nearly single-handedly led his team to victory.
Thankfully for the C's, the guy who has been there all along stepped up to match LeBron shot for shot and cemented a second seventh game win in this year's playoffs with the ugliest foul shot this side of Shaq. CLANK!
Now comes a rested and tested Detroit team.
The search for The Real Ray Allen needs to move double time, because if the Celtics think that the Dynamic Duo and those other guys are going to get them beyond Bad Boys Version 2.0, they're dead wrong.
Balanced scoring.
Pesky defense.
A viable bench.
Six straight Eastern Conference Finals.
That is what Boston has staring them in the face.
They also have a six-game road losing streak serving as the elephant in the room.
Yes, they have home court over the Pistons. But these aren't the unproven Hawks or LeBron and Four Walking Stiffs coming into the Whateverthehellit'scallednow Bank Gardens.
These are the Detroit Pistons.
This is Deeeeeeeeeetroit Bas-ket-ball!
Winning on the road might not be needed, but production from Ray Allen will be.
Too bad he's missing.

24 HOURS OF HARDWOOD 2.13.08
by HP, Hardwood Paroxysm
A look at the last 24 Hours in the NBA...
If Only The Heat Could Play Horseshoes (Or Hand Grenades): Pushed them to overtime. Got 23 and 18 from Marion. Pulled within 1. ... Couldn't seal the deal. Dwayne Wade missed a shot at the buzzer to allow the Nuggets to escape with a 114-113 win over the Heat. Wade had 29 and 10 in the loss, while JR Smith, thuggish-ruggish that he is, made eight 3-pointers to score 29 points in the win. The Heat seem to be playing better, with more fire, having more fun... and still losing. That makes 23 losses out of their last 24.
The Desolate Road Called Hope: The Nets managed to win a game. Yes, I know, it was only against the Timberwolves, but still. It's a win! With the 92-88 win over the Wolves, New Jersey managed to push itself all the way up the 7th spot in the East. Because that's how bad the East is. Vince Carter had 17 points (!), 6 rebounds (!), and 10 assists (!) in the win, and is, of course, still a douchebag.
If The Pistons Beat The Hawks In February, Does It Make A Sound?: The Hawks should stop trying to win a championship and just hire themselves out as practice fodder. They're not terrible enough to get blown out, but juuuust weak enough to let Chauncey Billups score 12 points in the fourth and let Detroit escape with a 94-90 win. They could wear masks, call themselves ninjas, the whole thing. It would be a lot more rewarding than what they're doing now. The loss pushed the Hawks to the precipice, now in the 8 spot in the Eastern Conference playoff picture, affectionately called "Mrs. Irrlevant."
Hakim The Dream Slightly Appealing Scenario: Memphis won a game. A basketball game. No, not the good one. The Grizzlies. Yeah. That one. How? Hakim Warrick. You remember him? 24 and 13. The Kings shot 37%. Yeah. The Grizz? 50%. No shit. Martin? 33 points, per usual. Oh, Kwame? One little rebound shy of a Trillion. Work harder at sucking, Kwame, work harder at sucking.
Elsewhere: You'd never believe it, but the Celtics beat the Pacers. And the Hornets beat the Bulls. The Hornets-Bulls game was pretty close until David West caught a no-look behind the back pass from Paul on a fast break. Things got away from the Bulls at that point. Gutted, I believe is the term.

24 HOURS ON THE HARDWOOD: 2.4.08
by HP, Hardwood Paroxysm
Pssst! Here's a secret! Don't tell anybody! There's actually a... get this... National Basketball Association. The twisted part? They actually played on Super Bowl Sunday! So here's what went down while you were getting drunk and screaming like a maniac, even though you don't give a shit about the Giants. Here's what happened in the last 24 Hours in the NBA...
Later, He Was Quoted As Saying "Holy Shit, I Get To PLAY With These Guys?": Pau Gasol showed up for the Lakers game against the Wizards, though was unable to play, basically due to all the jumping up and down and dousing himself in champagne when he found out he got traded to LA. Oh, and the masturbating. That probably wore him out, too. Kobe decided to welcome him to the crew by giving him a little blueprint of how things work on Kobe's team. Bryant scored 30, including 19 in the first compared to Washington's 15, and led the rejuvenated Lakers to a 103-91 win over the Wizards. The Wizards got 15 from Caron Butler who returned to the club after a series of maladies, but he and Antawn Jamison's 21 points and 11 rebounds weren't enough to overcome the Lakers, who pretty much killed them from start to finish. Gasol is expected to join the club for their next game on Tuesday, and get some sweet Hollywood tail in the meantime.
Put This In Your Little General And Smoke It:There are days when the Pistons look ordinary. Unenthusiastic, lackluster, bored, really. They look like they work in an office, and process project reports like the rest of us instead of being paid millions of dollars to travel the world, taste the finer things in life, be paid millions of dollars, all for playing basketball. Sunday was not one of those days. Sunday was one of those days when Rasheed Wallace decides he's going to eat your soul, and the rest of the team decides to flex it's defensive muscles. One of those days where they decide to combine defensive intensity with offensive explosiveness. In the case of this particular Sunday, all over the Mavericks' face. Sheed pulled in 21 and 9, along with 4 blocks and led the Pistons to a 90-67 win. It was the lowest offensive output by the Mavericks this season. The Mavs were led by Howard and Nowitski, who each scored 15, and Brandon Bass' 14, the only other double-digit performance by a Maverick. Which should tell you a little bit about how far the Pistons shoved their boot up the Mavericks' ass.
It's Funny, He's Not Getting The Press He Was A Few Days Ago: Damon Stoudamire was officially signed by the San Antonio Spurs, in yet another example of how Los Angeles has a distinctly innate ability to overshadow anything San Antonio does, even if San Antonio is decidedly closer to a championship.

THROWING KNIVES: SINCE WHEN...
by BD, Staff Writer
Over the last few weeks the talk of the NBA seems to have become the top two teams in the Eastern Conference. Everyone and their cousin has anointed the Pistons and Celtics as the league's top two teams. All the while forgetting about the Dallas' and San Antonio's of the world. The two teams out west with more than a legitimate shot of hoisting the trophy on the seasons final day.
I know, I know Boston has the league's best record, but in watching them beat up on the rest of the leastern conference I'm far from a believer. Sure they've gotten contributions from guys outside of the big three, but not consistently. Most nights it's the big three or bust for the C's. And while they've gotten in done far more often than not their's one guy on that roster I don't trust come playoff time. His name? Paul Pierce. The guy who consistently takes bad shots, yet for some reason gets the ball when it matters most. Paul Pierce is their kryptonite and come playoff time he'll be the one to blow it for the other two "superstars."
The Pistons are a completely different animal. A team that relies on a balanced attack offensively and an in-your-jersey defensive toughness that can make Greg Popovich blush. A team working with a competent bench for the first time since they knocked off Kobe and Shaq in 2004. This Pistons team is the closest they've looked to the title team since Okur and others left town that off-season. The problem? Rasheed Wallace. I love the guy, but he's a ticking time-bomb. His lack of control is alarming and it was evident in the team's loss to the Celtics at home as 'Sheed walked from the court to his car and left. He didn't change, he didn't talk to anyone he just left. Just another example of 'Sheeds instability and it often seems that his energy fuels this team. On a bad night for him, they're not winning. But when he's on they're virtually unbeatable.
Then you have the West, where San Antonio and Dallas both reside. The Spurs are still the best team in the league for my money and Dallas is in the same breath as Detroit and Boston. The baffling thing for me is how the Mavericks especially have been overlooked after last years first round flame out. With Jason Terry playing as probably the best six man in the league and the addition of Brandon Bass Dallas is even better than last year. And they sent a stern message last week when they dismantled the Warriors by 22 points. This is an improved team and barring a rash of injuries they'll meet San Antonio in the West finals this May.
For those of you wondering why I haven't mentioned the Suns, here you go: Their system just doesn't win in the playoffs and I don't think it ever will. Amare Stoudamire, (rather than Shawn Marion) is quickly becoming a distraction as he whines over what amounts to spilled milk. Grant Hill is out, though it's not his fault he'll probably go down again once he returns from his appendectomy. Phoenix is a team as well that can't afford many injuries as they lack the bench depth of a true contender.
All in all I point to the West for the best teams as they're playing better competition night in and night out. While the East's elite beat up on teams that are average at best. I stand by my preseason projection of a Detroit championship, but when you start the to overlook the Western giants it's unlikely to shake out well. As they've gotten it done as favorites, I can only imagine them as the underdogs.

FROM THE GREAT WHITE NORTH: I HATE BOSTON - CELTICS EDITION
by E. Spencer Kyte, Bugs and Cranks
On the heels of the mildly popular, somewhat satirical ramblings of a bitter Canadian who has been devoid of a championship of any kind for 12 years that was I Hate Boston comes the follow-up Celtics Only Edition.
What gets the Celts their own personal version? I'll give you three guesses, the first two don't count.
Saturday night, the Celtics went into the Palace of Auburn Hills and beat the Pistons 92-85, battling back from a 12 point deficit at one point on the strength of a career high 20 from Big Baby Davis. That I don't have a problem with.
The carrying-on as if they had done something special, that is what drives me insane.
I understand being excited about beating the team that has emerged as your rival this season, but it's not like there is a bitter rivalry between the two dating back years and years. Back in the days of Zeke and Larry Legend, sure, those teams hated each other and that was heat. The Celtics have been doormats for the last (doing the mental math in my head... carry the seven...) decade and change while the Pistons have made the Eastern Conference Finals each of the last four seasons. Oh yeah, they got a big ol' Championship ring during that span too. Whatcha got Boston? Zip...
During the final moments of the game, Celtics reserve James Posey mocked the crowd with calls of "look at the scoreboard" and mimicked Detroit's "Deeeeee-troit Basket-ball". Fair enough, you got a hard fought, good win against the only other team that stands a chance to win the East (Sorry Bron Bron), but you still have to play them a bunch more times this season and that's even before it really matters. You think Jason Maxiell isn't willing to swing a little harder on a block attempt after you're acting ridiculous over one win? Or 'Sheed? This is the man with the most technical fouls in the history of the NBA we're talking about. He has been known to knock a man down once or twice before. Did you somehow forget that?
It's not like the Pistons players didn't take note either, as the comments made by Mr. Bigshot Chauncey Billups after the game were similar to those echoed here - it was a nice win, but it's not like it means a whole lot. They celebrated like they had won Game Seven of the Eastern Finals when it isn't even the halfway point of the season.
Basically, these Celtics need to take what they have right now and enjoy it. Much like the Patriots did something special in the regular season, nothing really matters except the playoffs. They could win every game from here on out, including the remaining handful against Detroit and all the powerhouses out West. But if they don't hoist that trophy at the end of the year, none of it matters.
Carrying on and celebrating is for when you actually accomplish something worth celebrating. You got a win. You had won eight straight before that sans celebration. Nothing changed. Be happy, dole out the daps and hugs and high fives and get ready for the next one. That is what truly great teams do.
Right now you're the kids who just got everything they wanted for Christmas and are running around showing off. Eventually, that kid always gets punched in the mouth...

THROWING KNIVES: THE STEELERS SUCK
by BD, Staff Writer
They're probably the most overrated team in the league right now. At the very least, the AFC. After getting manhandled by the Jaguars in their own backyard last week they were once again far less than superb defensively last night. They allowed a Rams team that couldn't even score 11 points against the Bengals (The BENGALS!) to rack up 24 points and still have a shot to win the game in the fourth quarter. The Steelers, it appears, are only getting worse as the weeks progress. The Steel City crew is indeed overrated. Not quite 6-2 Lions overrated, but overrated nonetheless.
They appear to have all but officially locked up the AFC North with last night win, but at the same time I wouldn't be shocked to see them lose in Baltimore next week. Especially given Baltimore's particularly strong run defense now that Pittsburgh won't have the services of Willie Parker. Davenport was solid last night, but Doc Brown could surpass the 100-yard mark against the Rams.
Anyhow, they don't deserve that home game they're likely getting, but as we've already seen the Jaguars have no problem mauling the Steelers in the cold.
Pistons Still The Eastern Kings?
Obviously they're not going to be giving up their throne easily, but can they hold off the Celtics for four games in the spring?
It's certainly tough not to think so after watching Wednesday's game. The Pistons executed almost flawlessly down the stretch while both the stars and scrubs struggled for Boston. If not for a few big shots from Ray Allen this one would have ended without the drama.
For me the Pistons are still the best team in the East and as long as they have such an advantage at the point I'm not sure the Celtics will be able to pass them up. That is, unless Mr. Big Shot is having an off night.
Why?
Why is it everyone makes such a big deal about Kobe v. LeBron? It's just another game. If superstar match ups were such an event I'd expect this kind of hoopla for T-Mac v. Wade and Melo v. Agent Zero. But of course not, because that would be absurd as these guys face off night in and night out. Let me know when LeBron and Kobe are playing for legitimate title contenders and then I'll buy the hype.

NBA POTPOURRI
by DMtShooter, Five Tool Tool
Just to show that I still cover more than the NFL, and the Patriots (and do more than lists)... here's where we are after two weeks in the NBA.
1) The Celtics own November. I kind of expected that the team would get off to a good start from the talent infusion, but they are also doing something that they have to do, given their short bench and star reliance -- they are blowing people out. With a point differential of 16.6 points per game, they're leading the NBA, and should be able to keep the heavy stress down... but note, please, that Pierce, Allen and Garnett are averaging over 39 minutes per game. Doc Rivers isn't, um, smart, and that's going to cost them in the long run.
2) Detroit's back with a vengeance. When we last saw the Pistons, they were looking old and spent in gagging up a playoff series to LeBron James and the Cavs. They've answered the bell with a 5-1 start and a 10-point differential. They are getting great production out of their second unit, with Hayes, Maxiell, and Murray giving them solid minutes and defense. Here's another positive: Sheed doesn't have a technical yet, but he does have 15 points a game, with efficient three-point shooting (44%). Plus, when your big man is doing that, it opens up lots of things for other players. (This is one of the reasons why the Mavs have won so many games with Dirk.)
3) The Southeast is horrible right now. With Washington and Miami combining to go 2-10, and the Hawks squandering big early wins en route to a 2-4 start, it's Orlando or nothing... and the Magic really aren't that good, either. With Boston, New Jersey and Toronto all looking competent or better, the torch of Worst Division in the NBA has clearly passed.
4) Kevin Durant will not win the Rookie of the Year. Simply because the voters will not pull the trigger for a low percentage gunner on a 20-win team that's going to spend the entire season doing the Lame Duck Wiggle, even if he's the only one with 20 points per game. There's some talent here, but with Durant shooting 39% from the forward position and the team dropping 5 points every game from no one getting to the free throw line, don't expect this to get better soon. Welcome back to the big boy seat, PJ Carlesimo!
5) Phoenix should be fine... but while I made fun of this idea in preseason, they really might miss Kurt Thomas, of all people. Boris Diaw has shown no signs of being the supremely useful player he was in 2005, Amare Stoudemire has been banged up, and Brian Skinner fits in here about as well as, well, he fits in anywhere. Any team that's giving Sean Marks minutes has issues with its big men, and it's all leading to too many minutes for Grant Hill... and we all know what happens next, right?
6) Houston (shh!) may be better than the Spurs. Not by the numbers (both teams are 5-1, and the Spurs have a higher point differential), but consider this -- the Rockets are doing this with a new coach (Rick Adelman, who is already making Yao Ming look like a good passing big man again), new frontcourt rotation (Luis Scola gives them quality minutes and a non-Dikembe option for when Yao sits), and a dramatically different situation at point guard, where Mikes James and Rafer Alston are giving them 17.5 points, 6.6 assists and nearly 3 three-pointers a game.
The ceiling might be higher here, assuming, of course, that McGrady and Ming finally stay healthy -- and if both teams are at full strength in a playoff, Gregg Popovich will get them past Adelman. I'm just not thinking the Spurs will be healthy.
7) Does Don Nelson does know that the year started and he hasn't retired? Last year's fun-time first-round playoff story, your Golden State Warriors, are 0-5 after a brutal stretch against the Jazz, Cavs and Mavs. They'll get back gun-toting captain Stephen Jackson soon, and they've been fighting flu and other maladies... but if they don't start winning soon, they could be out of this early, with a big long East Coast road trip coming up at the end of the month.
They give up 12 more rebounds than they get per game, shoot a lot worse than the opposition (.506 to .463), don't defend (um, see .506) and are giving up an incredible 46% on three-pointers. Andris Biedrins may be the only decent big man on the roster, which you kind of expect from Nellie Ball, but this is ridiculous. Also telling: they shoot 67% from the line, with nobody on the team over 76%. So if you're behind, foul 'em with impunity, really. Last year's playoff run could be fool's gold (en state), especially if Jackson decides to exercise his Second Amendment rights again...

T.Y.I.M. - THIS YEAR IN MICHIGAN
by WCT, Wasting Company Time
It has been a rough, rough year for the sports fans of the "Great Lakes State," and unfortunately for them, it is only September. It could get worse.
Who would have thought that a state that was able to enjoy Barry Sanders, Mark Fidrych, and Steve Yzerman would have such a bad run? The state that brought us the Fab Five, the Flint-stones, and The Bad Boys has apparently angered the sports gods to the point where they now seem to be cursed. After the jump, we examine the events year-to-date:
January 1, 2007 - It began badly on New Years Day, when the Wolverines from the University of Michigan were destroyed by the USC Trojans in the Rose Bowl, 32-18. Honestly, I watched every play of this game, and it wasn't that close.
March 9 - On the same day, both Michigan and Michigan State are eliminated from the Big Ten Basketball Tournament. For the Wolverines, this means no bid to the Big Dance again, and another off-season to ponder the hiring of Tommy Amaker. For the Spartans, this means tough seeding in a stacked region.
March 17 - St. Patrick's Day comes with a legitimate reason for Michiganders (is that what they are called?) to drink themselves silly. The Spartans lose a game they could easily have won to Tyler Hansborough and the North Carolina Tar Heels. Hansborough scores 33 to help eliminate the Spartans.
April 1 - The 2007 baseball season begins. Most media outlets predict that the 2006 AL pennant-winners, the Detroit Tigers, will once again represent the American League in the World Series. The addition of Gary Sheffield is seen by many as the acquisition that will put them over the top and make them world champions.
April 7 - On one of the best days of the year for Michigan sports fans, the Spartans win the NCAA Men's Ice Hockey Championship. Fans still inexplicibly start chanting "Fire Millen!"
April 11 - The NHL Playoffs begin. The Detroit Red Wings are the #1 seed in the Western Conference and the odds-on favorite to represent the West in the Stanley Cup Finals.
April 21 - The NBA Playoffs begin. The Detroit Pistons, along with the Miami Heat, are the odds-on favorites to represent the Eastern Conference in the NBA Finals
April 28 - On the day of the NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions draft another wide receiver in the first round, Georgia Tech's Calvin Johnson. Fans chant "Fire Millen!"
May 21 - The Pistons defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers in game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals to take a commanding 2-0 lead in the series.
May 22 - The Red Wings are eliminated from the NHL Playoffs by the Aneheim Mighty Ducks in the Western Conference Finals.
May 31 - In one of the greatest individual single-game performances in sports history, LeBron James scores 48 points including all of the Cavs final 25 points to beat the Pistons 109-107 in double overtime
June 1 - As if living in Detroit weren't bad enough being a Detroit fan weren't bad enough, the next night the Detroit Tigers snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by allowing five ninth inning runs to the Cleveland Indians to turn an 11-7 win into a 12-11 loss.
June 2 - Not a good weekend. The Cleveland Cavs defeat the Pistons 98-82 to eliminate them from the NBA playoffs.
June 12 - Best day of the year by far. Justin Verlander tosses a no-hitter to defeat the Milwaukee Brewers. Fans still chant "Fire Millen!" for some reason.
August 13 - The Detroit Tigers take a two game lead over the Cleveland Indians in the AL Central division.
September 1 - You all know what happend on this day.
September 8 - Michigan is crushed by the University of Oregon, 39-7 in Ann Arbor.
September 15 - Michigan defeats Notre Dame for the program's first win in 308 calendar days.
Yesterday - The Cleveland Indians defeat the Tigers 4-2 to complete a three game sweep. The Tigers are now 7.5 games back of the Indians, and 5.5 behind the Yankees for the wild-card with nine games left to play.
This Saturday - The Wolverines host a 3-0 revenge-minded Penn State team, and the Spartans travel to South Bend to take on a Notre Dame team looking for their first win of the year...just sayin', it could get worse...
