Pistons must win tonight!

The game is coming up so soon. Hamilton is going to play. I read this on the Detroit News (thanks, Dad):

Hamilton said he talked to his father Thursday, and his dad simply told him to "spit" on it.

"This is now or never," Hamilton said. "Usually when you talk to your dad he is like take your time son. But he said spit on it. You are at war right now. You ain't got no choice."

I love it. Get ready for the battle!

p.s. Scripps National Spelling Bee Finals on ABC at 7. It's a night of heart-pounding competition!

Pistons up 1-0

Prince's long arms shut LeBron down. Rip scored some points. Rasheed had a few nice blocks and was surprisingly calm. Chauncey hit a clutch three and got a bloody nose chasing down that last rebound off the missed three. Nothing spectacular, but they got the job done.
