its playoff time


Right now is definitely one of the best times of year in Detroit with the Pistons and Red Wings both making a run at titles. And luckily enough, I got to see the Pistons begin the playoffs on a positive note last night when they knocked off the Bucks 92-74.

The game was definitely a good time. Ended up going with Casey as well as Waz and Abby (two other former co-workers from my days employed in the Admission Visit Programs at EMU). It was pretty good to see the two of them - i hadnt seen them since probably last April.

It seems like Rock Financial likes to slap their name on everything you get at the Palace though. All fans got Pistons playoff hats last night and sure enough Rock financial had its name plastered on the back of it. Same thing with the thundersticks that all fans had on their seats - definitely crazy. I'm tired of D. Hall being everywhere.

Anyways the game was tight. Other than a slow start by the Pistons they took care of business. there was a scary moment when Rip Hamilton went down in the fourth with some kind of ankle injury - but from reading stuff it seems hes all right. The playoff atmosphere definitely beats the regular season and the introductions were pretty sweet with the fire lighting up behind the two baskets. and before the game the Pistons drumline was out in the hall areas entertaining fans - definitely sweet and a fun day at the Palace.
