Congratulations to the Detroit Pistons, who finished taking down the Lakers and putting on a clinic in defense and teamwork last night. They won because they were the better team, not just because the Lakers shut down. (Seriously, were any of them even trying? Wankers.)

Give credit where credit is due. Ralph Wiley called it before the Finals even started in this excellent column. Wish he could have been here to see it. As for the other reporters -- it was damned amusing watching Stephen A. Smith trip all over himself in his attempt to jump off the Laker bandwagon.

Have a nice summer, Lakers! Be sure to snipe at each other lots in the media so I'll have something to snark on this summer!

You know, I've been waiting for this post since about 5.30 this morning. :-D

I seriously doubt you're going to see the same Lakers team next year -- no way Phil Jackson, Kobe, and Shaq are all there again.
