Lakers lose

[KPFC Sports Dept.]

I was on my honeymoon this week so I missed the other thread that is now locked. I said I wouldn't watch a second of the Finals unless the Pistons had the Lakers on the ropes. Well I watched the fourth quarter of Game 4 and there was absolutely no doubt as to which team was better. This suprised me because the Pistons showed such an anemic offense, I didn't think they had a chance against any of the top 4 Western teams. But they had enough, that's for sure and I couldn't be happier.

Now to the cool part. I was at the Rockies-Red Sox game on Tuesday night and when the Pistons won, they showed the live feed on the jumbo screen there at Coors and a couple of minutes of the Pistons celebrating and the Lakers walking dejectedly to the locker room. And I swear, at least half the stadium gave a standing ovation, and the reaction was almost as loud as after the Todd Helton homer we saw. Great moment.

Mike Harmon, who covers fantasy baseball for Yahoo! Sports, went to the same game we did, here is what he had to say about it in his latest article:
