The Detroit Pistons won a game for the first time in 2 months. This broke their 28 game losing streak and advanced the team to 3-29.

I don't pay much attention to the NBA, seeing as how I grew up in (and live in) an area without NBA-level basketball. But there's something kind of weird about the Pistons having had a 28-game losing streak yet not, as of this afternoon, having the worst record in the league—the Wizards are presently on a 16-game losing streak and have a worse overall record than Detroit.

And, fun fact, if the Wizards don't win another game for the next 11, they will try to avoid tying the record for most consecutive losses by playing... the Pistons.

Well, this is now moot. The Wizards failed to do their part.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"

To think there was a time, an era not far away when the Spurs was a big powerhouse...

They'll come again soon enough with Wemby.

The Ghostbuster

Tonight, I am attending my first NBA game in 30 years. I will be at Fiserv Forum watching the Milwaukee Bucks take on the Los Angeles Lakers. I will be attending the game with my uncle. I have had this game marked on my calendar since I got my basketball magazine before the season began. The real reason I'm attending this game is to see my favorite player LeBron James in action, since he is at the tail end of his career. My mother once saw Michael Jordan play, and this may be my last chance to see LeBron James play.

I'm enjoying being able to watch a few Bucks games over-the-air this spring, just like ye olden days when they'd put on a few Brewers and Bucks games each season on WMLW.  Perhaps the pending death of regional market sports cable channels has a silver lining.

Add the Pistons, Hornets, Trail Blazers and Grizzlies to that list.
