1. Does this belong in LBN?

eom

[11bravo1986]

3. just happened 2 minutes ago

I would say that is latest breaking news...unless this is an politics only site.

[DoNotRefill]

5. It seems more fitting for the lounge....

I mean hey, I'm sure I can find an article on something that just happened, like somebody stubbing their toe, but is it really LBN material?

[kentuck]

8. It's news when you win the world championship..??

LBN doesn't just have to be about politics. It can even be about earthquakes.

[hightime]

14. News to me.

[0rganism]

28. The *Pistons* beat the *Lakers*, and that makes it news IMHO :-)

Not only did the Pistons beat the Lakers, they farking STOMPED the Lakers. No one saw it coming except for a few Rasheed Wallace fans ;-)

Now if it had just been another Lakers victory, we'd shrug and move along like every other damn year...

[FleshCartoon]

2. Congrats Pistons and fans. (n/t)

[rooboy]

4. Was this the game that Kobe Bryant promised to win? n/t

[chimpymustgo]

6. Go Pistons! This is sweet.

What a rag-tag bunch. WINNERS.

[Scurrilous]

30. Yep...

...Joe Namath he ain't.

[sandnsea]

7. Congratulations Detroit fans!!! n/t

9. Another dynasty bites the dust! Bush, anyone??

[bossfish]

12. or the Yankees...

Oh, wait, they haven't won a championship in a few years...

GO ANGELS!

25. Hey!

I heard that. No dissing the team with the best record in baseball. A hint...it AIN'T Anaheim.:think:

As for the NBA finals, I predicted (to my husband, but it COUNTS) that the Lakers would lose. He laughed at the time, but now he is laughing out the other side of his...well you get the picture. I hate the Lakers. So glad they lost.:evilgrin:

[TahitiNut]

10. Well, I can almost hear the cheering from the Palace ...

... as I sit here about 10 miles to the south. I'm hoping nobody gets injured or killed tonight -- since "celebrations" around hereabouts can get a bit rowdy.

It's been a loong time since I've seen a professional basketball team hustle and work together as well as the Pistons did in this series. They sure made the Lakers look like a disjointed of spoiled "celebrities" - individuals, not much of a "team."

11. This was a huge huge upset…imho….

And rightfully belongs in LBN….it tickles me to no end when a “bought” team goes down in flames…..next up….the Yanks….

26. Trivia question

Which team in baseball has nearly thrice the World Series championships of any other team in MLB?:think:

[maggrwaggr]

13. LA played like shit the whole series except for

the last couple of minutes of game 2 and the overtime period.

LA pretty much sucked against Detroit. It was weird. I think they sorta thought they had it in the bag and never got mentally prepared for a team that might actually be able to beat them

[King of New Orleans]

16. The Lakers weren't physically able

to compete with the Pistons. And not just because of Malone's injury.

[UrbScotty]

15. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

17. I take it your a piston's fan

18. So, is the city burning yet? :) n/t

[maddogesq]

19. I hope you are just joking there.

Everything is fine. The people are partying, and a few fireworks went off. However. that stereotype is over and done with. When the Wings won those cups, everything went well. From what I can see, it's OK and a very normal, exstatic crowd is in the streets.

Yes, this area has a lot of issues to deal with, mostly caused by a legislature controlled by Goopers, but the days of bad press are getting old.

I would expect a lot of DUI's, and some DAD's, but that's it.

ENOUGH ALREADY!

[JayS]

21. That was a slam on the announcer(?) that got in trouble for...

...saying the city would be burning after the game. I don't remember the guy's name though.

[maddogesq]

23. My bad. U R forgiven. NT

.

[missedherniceguy]

22. The Goopers caused all the riots in the recent past?

I must have missed that headline.

[ontheMark]

20. Fear the Fro

Coach Brown had the players doing "the right thing". Kerry didn't have a chance to beat the spoiled incombent. Just do "the right(correct) thing" until Novemeber and the nation will feal like Detroit does tonight. GO PISTONS, GO KERRY.

24. Yahoo - Congrats to Detroit

and our home boy Chauncey Billups

[kungfugrip]

27. Congratulations Pistons and their Fans

At least the Dodger won :cry:

[The Blue Knight]

29. The Lakers will be back next year, my friends.

And I think we'll be Kobe-free. Interesting to see where he goes.

[muchacho]

32. Can ou say...

Chicago Bulls?

[muchacho]

31. Congrats

My Spurs would like to thank the team that stopped them.

And you stopped them quite soundly!

[Ganja Ninja]

33. Congratulations to Piston and Lightning owner Bill Davidson.

First owner of a major sports franchise to win titles in two separate sports in the same year. He is also the owner of the Detroit Shock WNBA champions.
