Looks like Spock with the neck pinch. :)

Looks like they're trying to hook him up to the Matrix.

No call
 

I'm guessing there was no foul called (unless he was shooting).

A good no-call. Let 'em play, I say.

He's Bacq.

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry over this one.

Maybe just a teesy-weensy bit over the top?

Of course, Mitch Albom's column ain't that much better either.

Hmm...I don't know. I've driven through Detroit, and I can't see many over-exaggerations in the article. Being a Bulls fan, I'm old enough to remember the Bad Boys, so I guess I've had a hard spot in my heart for Detroit (which sits right next to my hard spot for Ann Arbor as well).

I did like the comment about the frumpy dorks who wear their baseball caps backwards because the things don't come with instructions. I sat next to those people at an IL/MI basketball game once...;)

Lebatard is the author. It's actually a French name. Only in French, it's two words: Le batard. Anyone care to translate? :)

This Detroit team does not have the "idiot" factor of the old Bad Boys teams though. This current group might not be pretty, but as Mick said, they are a good "team"...key word being "team".

As a Bulls fan, I find this article funny. But, I have some interesting ties to Detroit as well. My girlfriend is from Detroit, and the current mayor is a frat brother of mine. With all that being said.....

Detroit still sucks as a city. :))

Isn't that the same as saying his choice of words suck? :confused:

Mick would never say something like that.

I think he's saying Sean is full of sh1t.

No, b/c saying that wouldn't be correct. Whether the words are worthy of the the pickup truck-bed or not, you should say "his choice of words sucks". The verb applies to "choice" (singular subject) and not to "words" (plural object of the preposition). Therefore, the verb should be singular in number.

Thank you. Mr. (More) Annoying (Than Usual) Grammar Guy. :D

I get it.

If I say "Chuck sucks", that means the act is plural. Right?

Detroit is not in my top ten list for best cities visited. I wouldn't recommend it as a living destination to anyone.

[/B][/QUOTE]Agree. Detroit blows chunks.

SeanFitzRef -- What about as a dead destination?

Minor edit

Agree. Detroit blows chunks.

Would that be the singular or plural form of blows?

btw let's take it easy on Mick.

He might come to your town & burn it down if you get him PO'ed.

I've seen Mick in action:

I thought you were older.

I was actually thinking of the more recent yearly event known as devil night....which I first heard of in '84 from a buddy who grew up in the motor city.

Kinda why he left.

Awww, just think. You get to see me in just a couple months! :p

Piston sandwich.

Looks like a palming violation to me.

By the way, did anyone hear Rasheed Wallace's comments after the game? He basically said the officiating was terrible, (and he's relatively unbiased :rolleyes: ) but at least the NBA is going to send some good officials to game 6 because the NBA wants a game 7.

I wonder if he'll be called to principal's office on that one?

He used the word "blatant", as if the refs were trying so hard to help Miami that it was obvious to everyone. I think he said "Y'all had to have seen that [bleep]", or something close to that.

I did like 45 offensive fouls in the 3rd quarter. Holy cow, it was six trips in a row ended with offensive fouls.

Both offensive, and defensive!

Double violation, go to AP?

Too bad you couldn't get a pic of Tayshaun's elbow to Eddie Jones' head. Ouch!

The Pistons' plan is to narrow it down to the Big Fella.
This match-up seems pretty equal.

No violation. The hand is part of the head.

Damn. I always forget that.

:D
