what ever happened to not pissing off the other team if you can help it?
- AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- The Sacramento Kings bought full-page ads in two newspapers to apologize for showing derogatory images of Detroit on video screens prior to their home opener against the Pistons.
When the Pistons were introduced Tuesday night, the Arco Arena scoreboard flashed pictures of abandoned buildings, burned-out cars, piles of rubble and other negative images of Detroit. The Pistons won the game 102-88.
First of all, much of that brings to mind Paris, not Detroit. Second, you've got the "3rd best team in the East" playing your suddenly mediocre team. Why stir the pot?
And I hate ESPN's basketball guys. What is with Pacers/Heat as "the batle for No. 1 in the East?" What do the Pistons have to do to get respect?
The ESPN guy I hate most is the white guy with the chin dimple:
1 Who is he to have such strong opinions- did he play somewhere- sometimes he talks like he did?
2 How do you shave a deep chin dimple- is there a special razor?
