DEEE-TROIT BASKETBALL!

Anyone excited about the upcoming NBA season? Basketball is, by far, my favorite sport and the Boston Celtics are, by far, my favorite team in professional sports--although I am a huge Pistons fan as well!

I HATE the fact my Celtics have a 'two year rental' on their team, by the trades for Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett (especially trading Al Jefferson). Even if the Celtics win #17, it will have such a tainted stench on it that it wouldn't be worth it.

On Pistons talk, I hope/expect Jason Maxiell to have a larger role on the team this year. I was disappointed in Tayshaun Prince's 2006 campaign, as I was hoping that it would be his breakout year. Perhaps what he's done the past three years is his limit, which is OK too.

I, naturally, hate the Lakers and hope they never win another game. Sadly, I find myself pulling for the Bulls (another team I hated--fucking Michael Jordan) and I have to admit, I'm a big Gilbert Arenas fan.

I think 2008 will (finally) be Dallas' year, defeating the Pistons in the NBA finals. My Final Four will be Dallas, Phoenix, Detroit, and Boston.

Hi! I like basketball but baseball is #1 for me (hockey and football are better, too).

Go Pistons!

#1 - Baseball/Softball.
#2 - Basketball.

I LOVE THE PISTONS! Chauncey, Rip, Sheed, and Chris Webber are my favss.

I don't really watch basketball, but GO PISTONS!!

Oh I love it. It's intense.

I like hockey better than basketball. GO WINGS!

I like Pistons and Magic Basketball, but it's so far behind TIGER BASEBALL it's not even funny!! :bball:

I wanna see Tiger basketball!!

Granderson said they'd have a good team. He gave his lineup on his blog. I don't remember who was where but he had Verlander as the center.

I bet legs would be good...

Guys on our team say they can play, so I'm not too sure, but here we go:

PG: Polanco (two-time MVP in high school)
SG: Me -- I gotta represent my basketball skills
SF: Monroe (second team all-state in Texas, holds record at high school for 11 3's in one game, and the biggest complaint was Dick Vitale said he could play)
PF: Marcus Thames or Carlos Guillen
C: Verlander

I know our team seems kind of short, but hopefully we could shoot the ball pretty well, and size wouldn't be much of an issue.

WHAT??? NO LEGS??? I'm stunned :shock:

Go Pistons

I just noticed you posted this. Yeah, that's the lineup I was talking about. It might be fun to watch them vs. the Pistons and then Pistons vs. Tigers in baseball.

Who would embarss themselves more? The Tigers in basketball or the Pistons in baseball?

My guess:

Spoiler:

Why can't Andrew Miller play basketball? He is like 6-10! but he can't touch the rim?

DEEEETROIT TIGERS BASKETBALL! LOL!

Cause he'd look way too skinny in a basketball uniform?

When Curtis posted that, Miller was a Flying Tiger, not a Tiger.

OH! Thanks!

Miller will be a flying Tiger once again.....

I doubt it

Can tell tou are not from MI. It is Detroit (IPA: /dɪˈtrɔɪt/) (French: Détroit) short e not deeeeetroit



And Tiger basketball would be funnt to see!

Even better, Lion - Red Wing basketball. They would probably kill each other!

But the NATIVES all say DEEEEEEETROIT!!

Pistons 3-0!! :bball:

I don't! Oh wait, I'm not a native. My mom says it right, she's sort of a native (she was born in Detroit).

So was I.

I say deeeeeeetroit.

I guess it all depends....

Do you two say pop or soda (I already forgot)

soda!
