Mr. Big Shot - So I woke up early this mornin to wait in line for Pistons Finals tickets. As soon as I got out of my car, I heard my name being shouted out. It was Nam, dude hardcore when you take half the day off. So the strategy was to spread myself and my cuz out in the line, where we were far enough for the drawin. We sat and watched the replay of Game 7 on PalaceVision. Billy Laimbeer came out to do the honorary drawing. As he read the numbers, I looked at the Palacetron to see the numbers 006591 to be the first in line. My stub was off by 1 digit! If he had called 006291, then I'd be the 3rd person in line! So with that, my chances were shot of gettin any. However, my cuz still had a chance as his number was like 007138. He was 500 peeps away so it was a long shot and we calculated that he would have a 2% chance of getting tix.

So we sat, waited and saw the Detroit Shock come out to practice. My thought of the day was, can I play against Ruth Riley one on one? 5 rounds of people later, they finally called my cuz down to lineup! I walked around the Palace, and ran into Jerry and his Taiwanese crew then Jason's crew from KUMC. As my cuz was gettin tickets, I was being escorted out by 2 Crowd Control peeps, 2 Palace security peeps, and 2 A-Hills Police Officers for what they believed to be disturbin the peace. They made sure that I was outside and in my car so yeah if you want the full story then you'll have to ask because it was a bunch of BS.

In the end, we got playoff tickets for Games 4 and 5. I saw on Ebay how our tickets are currently being bidded on for an average of $230. We paid only $18 each, so kind of insane how peeps are willin to drop that much for nosebleeds. So now, the plan is to go to PalaceVision for Game 2, is anyone willin to go? I've been so pumped to play but with this knee injury I have been forced today to watch old b-ball game tapes, and last year's Pistons DVD. I guess, I'm lookin more and more towards CCUC and what Randy said. Dependin how the roster looks, we got some similarities to this year's Pistons. Here is the A team roster compared to the Pistons:

B. Wallace - Bobby (No need to explain)
R. Wallace - Andy (Can post up, shoot outside, and physical)
T. Prince - Stan (Long arms, and skinny)
R. Hamilton - Carl (Likes to go through them screens more than me)
C. Billups - Me (Mr. Big Shot, who else runs the offense and takes the last shot of the game)
A. McDyess - Robert (He's got that turnaround post J)
E. Campbell - Wes (Old reliable baby and got that Shaq like D, physically)
D. Ham - Phil (Got the hops, and is a constant positive teammate on the bench)

Pretty similar or maybe my figment of my imagination? We are missin something though, yup Coach LB to make sure we are playin the right way. I wish we had a player who would go up and flush one down, if I threw an alley oop. We need peeps to bring their ThunderStix this year to get a crowd factor in. Oh yeah, check out the back of my car now baby!

Why Can't I
