I wanted to make a few quick observations from the NBA playoffs going on.

First, has anyone noticed the interviews, mindset, and demeanor of the Pistons in comparison to the Celtics. The Celtics clearly have more talent and one of the greatest ballers of all time in KG but seem like a bunch of hesitant and scared rookies at times. On the other hand RIP Hamilton, Chauncey Billups, and even Rodney Stuckey ( An "F"in Rookie??) look as confident and poised as if they were the greatest team in the league. I mean these 3 guys I think would be picked close to last in any pick-up game but yet they look like they might lead a pistons team to the Finals.

Also, Like the legendary Rudy Tomjanovich once said "Never, Ever, Underestimate the heart of a champion." With that said, I know the Lakers had a big win in LA Wednesday night and look like they are in the drivers seat for tonight, but how could you pick against Tim Duncan and the Spurs tonight. I mean if I had to put my life on the line and pick one team to win on the road it is tonight for the Spurs. I don't know the Vegas line but I assume LA is a favorite tonight at the Staples center, but I just can't see Poppovich and Duncan losing, they will do everything in their power to win........I guess only time will tell who does have the championship heart.

Oh, and my point also is, that is the mindset we need to incorporate when we walk on the field next Friday night!!!!!
