Pistons and Raptors in a playoff preview
I love YouTube just because you can find random videos like this that make it look like the 2002 playoff series between the Pistons and Raptors was the second coming of the 1980’s Pistons vs. Celtics. The way things are looking right now, the Pistons and Raptors may renew that playoff…

Pistons finish the season in Cleveland
Ordinarily, this would be a pretty interesting game, but the NBA made an unfortunate decision to schedule the last meeting between these two division rivals on the final day of season, rendering it predictably irrelevant. (Can you remember the last time the season finale actually had a bearing on…

McCants made a poster
Giving credit where it’s due: this was an amazing dunk by Rashad McCants over Amir Johnson and Jason Maxiell, a couple of guys who know a thing or two about blocking shots. (Getting the tech for bumping Stuckey? Now that part was just dumb.)

Go to a game, leave with a house
Speaking as someone who’s in the middle of looking for a house, it was actually really exciting to see this woman win a new house at halftime last night. (And reading about it now, it’s kind of funny that the husband of the winner is named Chauncey.)
