- much like when the raps played boston, the atmosphere was simply rabid. this is playoff level basketball, no matter what anybody says.
- there was an article on ESPN today by JJ Adande about how black people need to stop hating on the celtics for being a white team. well written, but in crunch time, after a giant game-tying 3 by rayray, detroit takes a timeout with under 30 seconds left to play. what song is blaring through the arena? 'rock you like a hurricane' by the scorpions. would you like some grey poupon?
- hubie brown noted during the game that deron williams reminds him a lot of chauncey billups, which i agree with entirely. if that's the case, then is cp3 vs d-train even a debate? would you rather have the future chauncey billups, or the future isiah thomas? thought so.
- there's no such thing as statement games, but if we learned anything, it's that big game experience still makes the pistons the team to beat in the east. boston is a beast, but in the clutch, detroit was calm, poised, and executed exactly what they wanted. the celtics have three future hall-of-famers, but seemed confused about what exactly to do and who should take over down the stretch -- particularly KG. if they're going to go anywhere, he needs to demand the ball in the clutch, he's unselfish to a fault and was nearly invisible in the last two minutes of the game.
- i was supposed to go out tonight, but i'm jumping from this game straight to suns/mavs and in 5 minutes, the raptors game. if i were to estimate, i'd say i've chosen watching basketball at home over going out with friends at least five times in the last two weeks. please help me.
