These "thugs" are led by Joe Dumars, who has happens to have a sportsmanship award named after him.
Uh oh..........I submit exhibit two
Milicic arrested for driving with suspended license, released
Oct. 13, 2005
CBS SportsLine.com wire reports
STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. -- Detroit Pistons player Darko Milicic was arrested in suburban Detroit and charged with driving with a suspended license.
The 7-footer from Serbia-Montenegro posted $100 bond and was released, police said. A court date will be set in the next few weeks.
Milicic was pulled over Wednesday afternoon on suspicion of having illegally tinted windows, Sterling Heights Police Lt. Michael Reese said. A routine check of his driving record showed his license had been suspended for two unpaid traffic tickets in another city.

I've always been a Bulls fan myself, although they sure ain't what they used to be.
Then again there's always the Sixers...but who am I kidding, Philly will never win anything...our teams like to take us alllllllll the way to the end of the season and get us all excited and brotherly like and united then WHAMMO they lose and we're al back to hating each other in the city of brotherly love.
Most recent example of this atrocity? The Eagles...anybody catch the superbowl last year? Stupid Birds need to go back to kindergarten and learn how to play nice withy one another.

I thought this fact was interesting regrding thugs and nba fights.....
In fact, so few incidents involving NBA fights have ever occurred (recently) that most of the top suspensions ever served in league history don't involve fights between players.
That list follows:
--Ron Artest - 73 games - fights with fans in Detroit in 2004
--Latrell Sprewell - 68 games - puts head coach P.J. Carlisimo in stranglehold in 1997
--Stephen Jackson - 30 games - assists Ron Artest in attacking Pistons fans
--Kermit Washington - 26 games - punches Rudy T in the face in 1977
--Jermaine O'Neal - 25 games - helps Artest and Jackson attack fans, lands Kermit Washington-like wallop on one of them
--Dennis Rodman (finally) - 11 games - kicks courtside photographer in 1997
--Vernon Maxwell - 10 games - Artest's predecessor. Attacks fan in 1995.
--Nick Van Exel - 7 games - shoves official in 1996.
--Ben Wallace - 6 games - shoves Ron Artest, leading to the melee.
--Dennis Rodman - 6 games - head butts official in 1996.

Isn't it a bit early to be bragging about your team and how well they will do this year? A lot can happen in the rest of the season. Like a blown Piston or something......

WHere does a guy like that get lost? He doesn't exactly blend into a crowd.

22-3... second best start in the history of the NBA. The win over San Antonio today was sweet. How long will it take for everyone to realize how good they are? :jumping: :jumping:
BTW, to all those thinking, "Is he going to continue to bring this up until June?"... the answer is yes I am.

Whne they win the nba finals/championship I will then realize they are the best in 2006. . Until then, it is fun to follow them chase records if you are a fan much like the Indy Colts. Many times the team with the best regular season record does not win the championship. The Steelers were 15-1 in the nfl regular season last year but could not get the job done when it counted.

Took care of the heat last night... tied with 95-96 bulls for the best start EVER!! So I guess this thread should be renamed, "Will they win 70?"
