Flip, Flip, Flip ... Game Over.

Good morning!

This just in: The Pistons are really good.

Last night, despite a valiant first-half effort by K.G. and Co., the Detroit Pistons eviscerated the Minnesota Timberwolves 107-83. It wasn't even that close.

Ties between the two teams are well-known: Flip Saunders, the current Pistons coach, was fired by T-Wolves GM Kevin McHale last season because he couldn't draw more out of Minne-haha's band of perennial underacheivers. These same T-Wolves let Pistons point guard and NBA MVP candidate Chauncey Billups leave as a free agent a few years ago. And the Pistons were compelled to trade G Ronald Dupree to the 'Wolves for a second-round draft pick because there was simply no room on the Pistons roster to keep him. Knowing Joe Dumars, that second-round pick is fated to become the greatest 47th pick in draft history or something.

It's a shame that one organization seems to be so snakebit. A shame for Kevin Garnett, anyway. Hmm, maybe the Pistons COULD pull off a trade for him! Let's see: How about Terry Mills, Lindsey Hunter and a first-rounder ...
