To say nothing of just the possibility of getting yourself

suspended or somebody else suspended we have to leave the bench rule whatever thank god the nba like it's rare that any of us in today's nba around today's nba especially having uh covered the david stern era it's rare for any of us to like praise adam for being softer than david stern this is one time where i'm glad the league decided to not go letter of the law we don't need fucking suspensions over something this minor

But that was what you risked by setting off the melee in the first place.

So like, why?

For what?

I just, you know, I've been trying to like step back and process this series because it's looking, you know, like the Pistons are about to potentially go down in ignominy here, right?

Where they're going to be one of the rare number one seeds to lose to an eight in the first round.

It hasn't happened often.

So these are the series where the eight beat the one since we went to the best of seven first round in, I think that's 0203.

We got the We Believe Warriors over the Mavericks in 07.

It's funny to look back at that one because we think about Dirk and being MVP and how awful that was, how embarrassing that was.

They'd been in the finals the year before.

But it wasn't the greatest supporting cast with Dirk.

It was Devin Harris, Josh Howard, Jason Terry, Jerry Stackhouse.

Good players, but it's not like that was a stacked team.

I know.

Yeah.

Because Dirk was that freaking great.

It's a good supporting cast, but this is not some star-studded team.

So anyway, Warriors over Dallas in 2007.
