(by the way, for everyone that accuses me of ripping off Bill Simmons, I had that comparison in an article I wrote back in the Hawks series…thank you very much…don’t see me complaining)
9:08 PM: Beer one down, beer two open. Cigar one lit.
9:11 PM: Ugh…Sam Cassell time.
If the Pistons could hit a shot, they’d be up ten right now.
My best Tommy Heinsohn: WAY TO GO PERK!
9:14 PM: Rip Hamilton is acting like he’s dead again. Sissy.
RAY ALLEN FOR THREE!
(still not back in the Big Three)
9:20 PM: The Celtics are draining threes. Cautiously optimistic right now.
9:29 PM: Garnett needs to start hitting shots.
The Pistons are starting to show some desperation, and they’re starting to get the loose balls.
Bad sign for Boston…still up by one though.
Rip Hamilton is playing awfully well right now. Garnett now has three fouls.
Thank YOU, officials.
9:36 PM: Leon Powe with the shot and the foul! It’s amazing how he worked his way into my good graces this year. He was on my most hated player list coming into this season.
Yes, it was an irrational hatred, but it was there. Now I actually enjoy watching him.
Made the foul shot too…
Eddie House needs to make a late first half appearance…
Two point game, by the way (I typed this before the second Billups free throw…he’s money).
Billups is having himself a game so far…18 points in the first half?
Missed the free throw, so I rule.
9:42 PM: Game’s still close, which means the second half might be stressful. That in mind, beer two down…beer three open.
Useless Halftime Stat: Radio Appearances by Bleacher Report’s Sean Crowe: 1
Second Useless Halftime Stat: Bryan Thiel somehow passed me in articles written and is now up to 109…assuming he hasn’t written another one since I started this running diary thing. That’s a ridiculous amount of output for Bleacher Report’s resident hockey expert. I’m impressed, and at the same time embarrassed that he’s beating me.
I am a slacker. No excuse for still being under 100 articles.
I’m far less annoyed with the officials tonight, which means they’re either doing a decent job or I’ve become desensitized to their incompetence.
Or it’s the beer and cigars…either way.
10:00 PM: The first five minutes of the third quarter is critical to the Pistons. They need to come out fast, pumped out, aggressive, etc.
They have to take charge of this game. If they’re down going into the fourth quarter, the pressure of an elimination game kicks in.
We're going to send you the most entertaining Detroit Pistons articles, videos, and podcasts from around the web.
