Detroit Sports Report
The Pistons lost! Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha! Make no mistake, I hate LeBron James and everything he stands for (isn't it funny when a millionaire pokes fun at inner city kids for not being able to afford $100 sneakers?), but the Pistons got what they deserved for allying themselves with the villain Webber. Sic semper tyrannis doesn't strictly, or even loosely, apply, but it's sure fun to say! Also, what else would you expect from Flip Saunders? It takes a special talent to not prosper in the playoffs with Kevin Garnett at your disposal, a talent Flip possess in spades and displayed for many years with the Timberwolves. Did Dumars expect Saunders to learn how to coach in the playoffs simply by, what, osmosis?

The demise of the Red Wings at the hands of the unsportsmanlike Ducks was a bitter pill to swallow, but if that's what it takes to keep the monster Bertuzzi's name off the Stanley Cup, so be it.
