Pistons Bomb on Friday Night, Come Back on Saturday

The other night the Pistons-Indiana game was delayed because of a bomb threat. The way the Pistons were playing with Larry Brown and Rip Hamilton out of action, BrooklynDodger figured that one of them called in the threat.

Pistons got romped by Indiana, mostly because of lack of offense. Not many games to be won with 40% field goal shooting and getting out rebounded.

The next night, Boston came to town. Rip Hamilton was back. Remarkably, the Pistons won in overtime despite a lower percentage from the field, from 3-point range, a push in rebounds and getting 3 T's [R Wallace and R Hamilton continuing their bad boyishness, with B. Wallace chipping in another.] From 2 point land Pistons were 32 for 62, not a bad percentage and yielding 1.03 points per shot. For threes, 4 for 18 [mostly because Billups was 2 for 10] yielded 0.67 per shot.

Why does sports talk radio in Detroit ignore the Pistons in favor of losers like the Lions and Tigers, and the endless hockey soap opera? Is this a race deal?
