do i even need to say anything?

pistons win AND kings lose in a blowout...
in other words, a team i absolutely love b/c of their approach to the game wins and a team which i absolutely loathe b/c of their approach to the game loses :D

warriors also won, which only made me VERY happy.

pistons are looking sharp in the beginning of the season, which is rare... undefeated... look for them to possibly come out #1 on the espn power rankings early. i like this, but i'm keeping my fingers crossed that they don't burn out and forget what got them to the finals the past 2 seasons. or lose to the heat or pacers.

also, this pissed me off

that's just disrespect. just be glad the pistons didn't see that video before they played; chances are if they did they'd play with even more passion and absolutely destroy the kings(if you didn't think that occurred). rasheed would just bring his hate.

my fav piston prince was ON FIRE in the 3rd; i watched him, and he just could not miss; rediculous. and he even got his only block that night as his trademark fast-break block that everybody knows him for on mike bibby's layup seemingly outta nowhere, which made me smile even more. ben wallace and tayshaun prince simply took brad miller and peja out of their offensive game.

it really is interesting to note how just because flip saunders lets the players run free on offense, especially an athletic team like the pistons, allows them to do a LOT better offensively. if the pistons don't forget and let down the defensive intensity that got them where they did last 2 years, expect them to be even better w/flip.

i try to watch prince and learn off of him, but now that flip has let him and other pistons run free, i'm starting to see the huge repetoire of offensive moves that he's never unleashed when larry was coaching him. he DOES have a good handle. and a good shooting touch. so it's like last year all over again.
