Okay, so this post is very late, but it's here!
Last week on Wednesday my team from work went to see the Detroit Pistons vs. the Atlanta Hawks at Phillips Arena. We had an amazing suite, seats outside the suite and four additional seats very close to center court! Our team was treated right!
The score ended-up at 117 to 89, Pistons STOMPING the Atlanta Hawks.
It was interesting to watch the crowd cheer for "RASHEEEEEEEEEEDDDD" Wallace. The man is a tank! While they were practicing pre-game, Rasheed had one end of the court all to himself, while all other Pistons shared the hoop at the other end of the court. He is built like a brick wall! (Of course then you have his complete opposite - Tayshaun Prince - who looks gangly and like a little kid! Both are GREAT players, though!)
The Pistons seemed to have quite a following in Atlanta. That is what I have found to be very strange here in Atlanta, with any sporting event. Atlanta is such a "transitional" town, that you find more people often root for the "away" team than the home team. Very strange. Makes it interesting, though!
Quite a few "stars" came out to watch the game. The actor John Singleton was there, actor Emmanuel Lewis, one of the rappers from the musical group "112" (?) and others who currently slip my mind.
Go Pistons!
