Where do you start with these clowns? First they fuckin stole my boycotting work on Friday idea and now they're quite literally laughing straight in Kuester's face. Or I guess it was to his back cause he was on the way to the locker room after getting booted in the second quarter but that's neither here nor there.
Like I get why they're laughing. When you hate your coach and he's running around on the court calling people assholes I understand that it's hard to look at Ben Wallace and keep a straight face. Christ, any time I look at that goon I immediately picture him playing with remote control cars and I bust out laughing uncontrollably.
But for a team that was built on "Going to Work" the effort that this year's Pistons are putting out there is inexcusable. There are a lot of bad teams in the NBA and in general I think the entire league is a bad product. What's the point of having an 82 game season if you a have a league wide mantra of "we'll play hard in the playoffs". Give me a fuckin break, you're playing basketball. Shit is about as grueling as a game of racquetball. The NHL doesn't have this problem because guys know that if they take a play off they're gonna get train track'd into tomorrow. Guys in the NFL don't dare take a play off for the same reason and also because the 16 game schedule means every snap is important. But the NBA is a league of prima donnas with guaranteed contracts who'd never in a million years go hard if there wasn't this constant media suckfest over who's the best individual player. Rarely, if ever, do you hear people talk about NBA success in terms of "the team" but rather the player who carried the team. You'd think that Tayshaun, Rip, and Ben would understand better than anyone what can be accomplished if players stand together and work hard. I never imagined it could get this bad and I've lost respect for them that I never imagined was possible.
