That false sense of security was not unique to you, professor. I let my true amateur colors fly when Detroit killed Chicago in the first two games and then flipped "the switch" to the ON position in the second half of Game 3. I was as giddy as a school girl when Detroit went up 3-0. I still have confidence that the Pistons will win the series in Chicago, though.

Don't know if they have a full tank but even if it's at the half way mark, here's to looking at it as half full and to Detroit getting back to playing that good ol' DEEE-TROOOIIIIT! BAAA-SKET-BAAALL! CHEERS!
