Deeeee-Troit Basket-baalllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And we did it with one all-star point guard tied behind our back just to make it fair!

Speaking of Thomas. Rip Hamilton passed Thomas and is now the Pistons all time franchise leader in playoff points scored. Who would have thought?

Hopefully they can play with the same energy and passion in the conference finals that they did three years ago. At least they'll have a chip on their shoulder this time. Revenge against Cleveland or matched against the team with the better regular season record. Either way, it's the kind of motivation this crew needs.

Oh, and Stan VanGundy needs to quit trying to coach the refs in the media after the games. It just comes off kind of sad.
