[g-ice]

Hayes, Livers, and Burks all in at the same time.

@Squirrel from Meteor Man the thread title reminded me of this monologue from Game 5 of the 91 Finals



Here's my adaptation:

If the Detroit Pistons clinch their first victory in two months tonight, as some expect, the easy and obvious impulse would be to call it a triumph for Cade Cunningham and his teammates, which it certainly would be. But that's not the whole story. You see, if tonight is the night, it will also belong to the franchise—a working development over the last 15 years, in particular to the Pistons of the 70s, 80s, and early 2000s who embodied the spirit of their feisty city.

Tonight would be for Dave Bing and for Bob Lanier, who struggled mightily but could never quite match up with the dominant teams of their era.

Tonight would be for a pair of street fighters who may have been the best backcourt in NBA history: Joe Dumars and Isiah Thomas. Do you think they're proud to see the current Pistons continue to claw and fight for victories?

Tonight would also be for the sterling pair of forwards and scoring threats, Rasheed Wallace, now a podcaster in California, and Tayshaun Prince, a basketball executive in Memphis. Do you think they'll be watching tonight?

These Pistons of yesteryear played in both the Western and Eastern Conferences, where despite their grit, there were multiple teams they couldn't seem to beat—teams that knocked them out of the playoffs in consecutive years.

Yes, it has taken a while, but if tonight is the night, those old Pistons will enjoy a measure of satisfaction as well.

Fouling Burks at this point should be a crime.

 

[Big Blue]

This might be the one time in my life I wish I had League Pass

 

[Volt]

That ref assist for the Raps

 

[Juggalo Fred]

I don't know if I'm rooting for or against the Pistons. I want this streak to keep going but I feel bad for them because they're playing hard lately.

 

[Morethan1]

Wiseman
Thompson
Burke
Livers
Killian

Coach should be fired tomorrow

Oh my god! Its the Alec Burks show brehs

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

I haven’t seen “up and down” in an NBA game maybe ever. Killian Hayes would be the one

Smh, Sillyian Hayes. 3 more quarters though.
