Maybe black guys are too cool.  It's always anti-climatic.  
 
anyway,  congrats to the Pistons,  I don't think i've ever seen a defending champion this badly owned in any sport.

 they're not a defending champion.  
 
but yeah, they did get owned, i guess its shows the west isn't better in basketball, and that both conferences have completely different styles of basketball.  I think Detroit winning is great for the NBA, it shows that one superstar can't always carry a team to victory.  This series - teamwork and coaching won,  no particular individuals.  
The Stanley Cup celebration is cool as fuck, i think its stupid to see the team just standing in the center.  I think it has to do with how so many people become on the court after the win...  I'd rather just see the winning team with everyone in the stands.
