This is a pure out and out blowout....the riot videos are gonna be something to see in the coming hours..
That "something" being, no one seemed to tell the Detroit Pistons that the L.A. Lakers were supposed to be unbeatable.
From the announcers down to the (so called) experts that were shown on the pre-game and half-time telecasts. You could almost hear the tears rolling down their cheeks at the thought of not being able to go back out to LA LA Land to rub elbows with the "stars" that attend the games there.
BTW, y'all look pretty geeky holding those microphones in front of your faces. Can't the network supply y'all with headsets?
It was all the Lakers this and the Lakers that, wall to wall and non-stop, even up to the end. So much so that it made someone, that really didn't care much at the start, want to see the Lakers get beat (badly) just to spite them and their bias.
Congatuation to the Detriot Pistons!! Bravo to the underdogs!!!

No one will be able to tell the difference anyway.
In reality, the Lakers played poorly all series and the Pistons played well enough to win.
Congrats Pistons. Good luck Detroit.
You should have included the word NASCAR in the title.
Heehee.....good one.
he won them three titles, but couldn't drag them to another one?
bump (to read later)
What's the score? Someone repost this in Breaking News, please. Why is this in "chat?"

Larry Brown did an incredible job of training these guys to attack the Lakers in their vulnerable area. Just let Shaq and Kobey get their points but shut down everyone else, which is not hard to do, since they have no one else, really.
The Lakers need to do a full rebuild job next year!
I cant find a good Detroit police scanner feed...
maybe I will try WWJ
The grand plan of Karl and Payton didn't pan our. Karl was hurt and Payton, was he even there. It went back to the Shaq and Kobe show, only without the quality role players they had before.
LMFAO!!!!!!
Rocks and bottle reported at Staples Center in LA
If Detroit riots....will anyone notice?
The city will look the same...
I heard that the Lakers set some NBA record in this series (before today) -- 4 straight games played with only 2 guys (Kobe and Shaq) scoring in double figures each game.
I'd get rid of the Zen master and start from scratch (with Kobe and Shaq as the foundation). .......and keep Malone and Payton if possible, who may just have one more good year left in them. The team needs a spark, and a coaching change could do the trick.
I think Laker fans are just too beaten down to riot tonight.
Well said.
From what I've heard, the only place Payton feels comfortable is in the Hall of Mirrors.
