Detroit Pistons and WDFN
All right. I just turned off a Pistons home game where they got bombed at home. Again. The Atlanta Hawks, who were 3-13 coming in, manhandled the World Champs on their own home court. This is not the first time this season where they were shellacked at home. Does anyone remember the actual GAME that was played the night the Indianapolis Pacers-Detroit Pistons turned their contest into a typical bar night for Mike Tyson? Oh yeah, the Pacers won by 15. Why are the Pistons losing games and losing ugly? The reason that gets tossed around is injuries. Rasheed Wallace, Antonio McDyess, and Carlos Delfino have all missed time. Also, Ben Wallace missed 6 games for his part in the BasketBrawl. But, if we follow the WDFN philosophy concerning the Lions, injuries are a part of the game, don't count, and if the Lions lose, they are just awful. Actually, even when they do manage to win a game, they are still awful. After all, the Lions always have injury problems, and can not seem to overcome them. And thus, WDFN savages them for it. But, seeing as they are the home station for the Pistons, will they rip the Pistons? Doubtful. Sounds like a double standard to me. The Pistons, overall this season, have not looked good for any sustained stretch. Sure, there's been spurts (the win in Dallas was good) but it doesn't mean much when you follow it up with a debacle like they did against the Hawks. If you're going to use the slogan "Not bought and paid for by the home team" be sure to actually show it.
