carlisle also screws up and says the pistons went into dallas and handled them and won by 16, when it was dallas who won by 16.

So I take it Bill was smoking some higher potency stuff than the usual?

Looks like that's more of an alpha than a beta in terms of readiness.

In the pre-game Pistons - Lakers game Walton referred to Vujacic as Vukavich. Pretty weird when you consider that his son players for the Lakers.

It could be that he does the high potency herbal medication on a fairly regular basis or it could be that he doesn't.

He sees tracers every time there is a shot and little paisley ameobas floating around the arena. Think of how hard it would be to announce under those conditions.

Since you brought it up

I have felt for years that in baseball and basketball, I don't watch a lot of American football and hockey that the networks should use local announcer feeds for all their games and dump the entire crew of network announcers.

Man, I really dislike Fatoine. From this article:

Quote:

Forward Antoine Walker wants a buyout, too, but he's unwilling to forgo much of the remainder of his $8.5 million salary this season or a $9.3 million figure next season. The Wolves have made an offer, but an agreement by Saturday didn't appear imminent.
