Good day.. Sorry for not updating my blog for weeks or rather I think for a month or so.. For some reason if some UNC alumni and students and even the Tar Heels basketball team happened to open this blog, I would like to extend my congratulations to you and its fans for winning the 2009 National Championship, it was a wise decision for Tyler Hansbrough and Ty Lawson to stay in school and win one for the Blue and White.. The playoffs just started yesterday and of course I'm happy that the Chicago Bulls made it this year with the help of the rise of play of Joackim Noah, Tyrus Thomas and the newcomers Brad Miller(his 2nd tour of duty with the Bulls) and John Salmons, they managed to finish 41-41 good enough to land a spot a 7th spot in the East, Derrick Rose also was a big factor in the Bulls turn around, hands down he will be the run away winner for the Rookie of the Year plum.. Rose also ignited the KG(who will be out for the rest of the postseason) less Celtics for 36 points 11 assists and 4 rebounds enroute to a 105-103 Game 1 upset victory over the Defending Champs at the TD Banknorth Gardens.. Rose got some help with Tyrus Thomas who recorded 16 pts and Joackim Noah for 11pts and 17 caroms.. Paul Pierce led the Celts with 25 points.. Game 2 will be tomorrow, hope the Bulls pull off another stunning victory.. Now we talk about the hapless and everybody's favorite team, The PISTONS, or should I say everybody just ditch them.. I wonder if some of its loyal 'fans' here in the country are still loyal to them esp the guy who is claiming that the Pistons have all the right to claim that it built its own dynasty by appearing in 6 straight conference finals since 2003, hey dude its not a dynasty when you don't win the rings.. The Pistons on that 6 straight appearnce compiled a win loss record of 2-4 appearing in the Finals twice winning the 2004 Finals over the Los Angeles Lakers, and in 2005 succumbing to the San Antonio Spurs.. Over the years after 2005 they were the victims of the Miami Heat, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics.. This season, with a new coach and a somewhat changed line up the Pistons started with a new vigor, they traded Chauncey Billups(the 04 Finals MVP) for the Denver Nuggets perrenial scorer Allen Iverson.. From there they weren't the same team that appeard on all those Conference Championship games.. The Pistons lost the discipline in their offense, often the ball started with Iverson and ended at the hands of Iverson, the ball movement wasn't there anymore, heck even the defensive intensity wasn't there.. To add insult to injury with all due respect to Rodney Stuckey, the Stuckey project may have turned out to be a bust as he had difficulty with or without Iverson to turn this franchise around to all the tough offensive stretches, other than that Iverson went down during the season and soon the once mighty 'dynasty' came crashing down.. They managed to pull themselves together and compiled a 39-43 record, good enough to face Lebron James Cavaliers(yes I won't say they are the Cleveland Cavaliers, because Lebron is the team all by himself), who blew the wind out of them in Game 1.. So now that the Pistons are as pathetic as the Atlanta Hawks once was, so Pistons 'fans' stand up or oh crap where are they the real ones are left, where are the others.. Oh crap they're at the <insert ideal winning team here> bandwagon now.. Till next time.. |
