woohoo an irregardless sighting!!

detteam, acker and johnson couldn't play last night - they are on the inactive list or whatever. by the way, for those that didn't get to watch the game, Maxiel had 3 clean blocks but was called for a foul on every one of them. The kid played absolutely fantastic - made an 18-footer, a turnaround jumper, and abused people on defense (just didn't get the benefit of the calls).

mcdyess is still not getting the shots where he wants them and is forcing the shots anyway. arroyo was inconsistent as usual but didn't play that poorly. everyone's shot was off because they were trying to force it rather than run the offense, but that's what happens when you're down by 25. it also caused extra turnovers, like rip and sheed driving the lane, having nowhere to go, and passing it out *right* to a Dallas guy.

i think you guys misjudge how the media is going to react to this - it's barely a blip on the ESPN page (and thankfully they all had college games to talk about ).

listen, shiz happens. indiana lost to charlotte by 33 and had trouble with them a couple nights ago. dallas shot 17/21 in the 1st quarter and ben was out for most of it...i mean what are you going to do? i watched most of the game and dallas made about 10 circus shots *while* getting fouled - they just couldn't miss. the bench got to play all of the 4th and it was really good experience for them, especially on the road for a fired up dallas crowd.

on a sidenote, my buddy and i were at Hoop City Grille last night to cheer on his stepsister for the unveiling of the Automotion Swimsuit Calendar - and WOW the girls look great this year!! the calendar is much better than last year's, and it helped to erase the smell of last night's game.

so the pistons lost, u of m lost, msu lost...a bad day for michigan sports, which can only mean...a LIONS VICTORY TODAY!! woohoo!!
