Rashard Lewis drives between 2 Pistons for hoop, hey, is that Ben Wallace not blocking a shot, amazing. Hands down Ben has the best hair in the league. Dare you to say anything about his doo to his face!
The Sonics lost a tight one in Detroit last night but considering, they looked OK doing it! Going into Detroit is about the toughest road game for any team in the NBA. We were right in it till midway through the 4th, I'll take this loss with a grain of salt, whatever that means.
I'm not a Detroit fan. Some for reasons not pertaining to sports but a particularly insane man I was forced to work with from Detroit at a restaurant I worked in NYC. Same name as me too, Al, from Deeeeetroit he would say. Between puffs of a crack pipe back in the alley, not me of course. Would tell me stories of his gang robbing people at Auburn Hills in the parking lot of the arena, and "beatin' em down" afterward, some critically. Even said he set a dudes hair on fire after he robbed him, doused it w/lighter fluid and lit it. This guy was a peach. Not much rattles me, but this guy in a kitchen full o knives was the ultimate distraction. I made the critical mistake one night...called him out. Told him to shut the f*ck up, he was discussing a rape he had committed...that was all I could take. Didn't wanna hear anymore. He freaked and lo and behold...grabbed an 8" chefs knife and came at me. Safety in the work place I always say. He stopped right in front of me, I thought he was bluffing. No way even an x con is gonna stab someone in full view of everybody in a **** restaurant right? Wrong. He pressed the tip of the knife to my belly, and mini thrusted. Broke skin and slid in, no lie...about 1/2 inch and he held it there. Called me a beeyatch and said he was gonna set my hair on fire too! All staff was stunned and too afraid to intervene. He was high on crack cocaine having just come from the alley.
Not being macho, but didn't have time to be afraid, it all happened so fast. I just stepped backwards quicky, he froze. Moved to his side and open handed, kinda like a palm thrust, full force hit the inside of his wrist. The knife skittered cross the floor. The staff pounced, dogpile of death on top of this insane dude and it was all we could do to hold him down. I broke his wrist it later turned out. Um, he got fired and put away for 2 years. Heard through the grapevine he was gonna kill me when he got out! Yeah, these are the people I want in my life. Didn't have to sweat it though. The day he got out (and I knew it) he crack'd out, OD'd and died! I'm compassionate but I was relieved in a way as cold as it sounds. Big Al my non bruddah, RIP. Thanks for one of the worse nights of my life. I was complemented by the staff, they thought the disarming move was awesome. But Al from Deeee troit, you forever changed my opinion of Dee Town. Although I'm sure the majority of people from Detroit are cool. Its kinda like when the class clown acted up and everyone had to stay after class. He was the class murderer, rapist, robber. And he was released to the public to wreak havoc! Unbelievable. Side tracked...back to the game!
One strange call happened at a critical time. Coach Hill was called for a technical on a 3 point attempt by Richard Hamilton. With the outcome still very much in doubt. The Pistons were ahead 83-76 with 4:19 left when Hamilton launched his shot...which missed by the way. Hill's foot was on the court and he was in close proximity to Hamilton when the shot was taken. Shot interference technical, basket good. Hill protested hardily to no avail. That pretty much put the game outta reach.
Rashard scored 27 and Allen 22, seems like the only guys who score for the Sonics. The rest is filler at this point. Rookie center Petro had 10 also. Lets see if Hill can help this team play together. Toiling under .500 sucks, its always hard to get back there and then go a few games over the hump.
Iam no fashion advocate, t shirt and jeans for me. But if Allen Iverson wears his pants too low, Hill pants are ridin' high! Is that belt at chest level or what? And the tie is too short, like a clown tie. Add sqirting boutineer and you have the complete clowny coach! Just kidding...Bob is dead serious.
