I figured it all out!!!!!!!!!! It is the dreaded
S.I. Cover JINX!!!!! http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/magazine/cover/
Granted Ben only has a small part of the cover, but the 2 page article and S.I. Players peice on Mr Big Shot has cursed our beloved boys.
Seriously though the blame if it can be put anywhere right now it should fall squarely on the head of Joe Dumars. Our bench is being outscored by like 2-1 133 bench points by the Cavs and only 68 from the Pistons 43 of wich were in the 1st freakin game! Joe stood pat let guys that could have helped this team sign elsewhere. You seriously cant blame Flip for not having the guys he needs in order to get the job done. The best starting 5 in basketball cant play 48 minutes a game so someone has to come in and get the job done. You can say that if Flip had developed his bench more during the regular season this wouldnt be happening right now, but we "had" to have homecourt so this is the price we paid. NO BENCH HELP.
