Word out France is that Big Herm is thinking about taking all his R’s and N’s over to Spain. Like I’ve stated recently, I’m pretty indifferent about Walter Herrmann. He’s got a lot of game, but it didn’t seem like Michael Curry (Flip either)...

Hall of Fame Pistons’ coach Chuck Daly passed away this morning in Jupiter, FL at the age of 78. Rest in Peace Daddy Rich.
Cancer is a tough opponent, especially caught as late in the game as Chuck did. Daly was the coach of the Bad Boys when I fell in love with Pistons...

If the Pistons want a chance to win game two of this series and steal the homecourt advantage the Cavs have worked so hard for then they have to toughen up. Bottom line.
