tenacious d.

i love the pistons for exactly the kind of resiliance they exhibited last night. for the last two weeks, i've been incredibly frustrated with the lack of team synergy and the uncharacteristic complaints about the referees, the coach, and the opposing team. but, when it comes down to it, the pistons are all heart and soul, and when they remind themselves just how awesome they are when they get down and work as a team, they make the game seem effortless. and they put on quite a show in the meantime. of course, for a fan, you wish that detroit didn't have to have it all down on the line to win, but, of course, its exactly that kind of pressure under which the fab five thrive. it's as if they enjoy clawing themselves out of holes; as if being the underdog is their lifeblood. it's poetic that the most underrated starter on the team, tayshaun, has been so clutch in the last few games.

last night was quintessential pistons ball. fired up and unstoppable... take it to game 7 boys!
