Big game tonight

It has come to my attention that a lot of people are rooting for the Detroit Pistons in the NBA Finals. And for the life of me I don't know why. Watching the Pistons play basketball is reminiscent of having a root canal.

Detroit cannot and will not win a NBA title because of the following reasons:

1). You cannot win without at least two bona fide "I will tell my children how I saw X play" superstars (let alone not a single one). You can’t win against history.

2) Darko Millic will have more championship rings than T-Mac, AI, KG, J Kidd, and Paul Pierce combined. Not to mention the Mailman, Chuck Wagon, Stockton, and Ewing

3) Rasheed will be invited to the White House. That's got "incident" written all over it.

4) David Stern does not want the Pistons to win. And what David Stern wants he gets.

5) Ben Wallace will appear on a box of Wheaties. He's got one ugly mug.

6) Darko again…

7) No team since 1979 has won a title without one of the NBA's 50 Greatest Players on the roster. Once again, history will stymie the Pistons.

8) Kobe Bryant. Who else would you rather have taking a game winning shot?

9) Larry Brown is a nice guy and all, but “It’s not team policy to foul in that situation.” Come on?

10) Shaq. The Wallaces’ can’t stop him; they can only hope to contain him.

Showtime in six.

LET’S GO LAKESHOW!
