"Detroit sucks"
Was the chant coming down from the high stands in the United Center last night as ex-Piston Big Ben Wallace, apparentely wearing his newly endorsed $15 basketball shoes, drove the Bulls to a 83-81 victory. It was close though after the Bulls blew a 12-point lead with 3 or so minutes to go but they hung on so I could witness my first win of the season, with 9 games to play.

Our plan is to finish the season strong and make a run in the playoffs. It's time for us to do that."
A bit different from my first year in the city, when the team could only dream of playing past the regular season.
