I'm actually flying back and land at 7, so I hope I'm going to be there tomorrow. Went yesterday. Will go sunday (absent crushing defeat tomorrow).
And this guy latched onto the real Piston's issue

- To 'fro or cornrow? That is the question
Turns out that the world's basketball punditry whiffed on the easiest adjustment for the Detroit Pistons to make.
The tweak that resuscitated their season, unmentioned in the buildup to Tuesday night, just might have come from Ben Wallace's hair pick.
Ben Wallace finally showed up.
Detroit traded a cornrowed Big Ben for a Big Ben in full 'fro and promptly rediscovered "the Ben Wallace that we all know and love," in Chauncey Billups' words.
I've known this for a few years. They've only lost 1 playoff game I can recall when he was full fro. But- problem is- he often can't sustain fro power 2 games in a row*. So they often have to win with Ben in rows. Just a subplot for you all to watch.
*we/he learned this from the regular season last year. They never lost the first fro game after a row game, but often lost the second fro in a row.
