SHITSTORM v4.0 (IT'S FINALLY OVER)

[Joe Asberry]

Dumars has to respond to this, he can*t ignore this shit going on, if he doesnt react at all, it only gets worse, he needs to do his job and hand out suspensions and fines asap!

[micknugget]

If the players claim to have the "illnesses" that they claim, then other then the couple who missed the bus, there might be an issue with fines (players union?). Also, Ben Wallace supposedly had ""family issues" that had been ongoing and were seemingly ok with mgt. Was he at the game and if so, why then didn't he play?

[Vinny]

Well, did the players state these excuses or did Pistons PR state them in an early failed attempt at a cover up? And from what I can tell, Ben didn't try to use his family excuses, that was just media speculation as to why he might be excused...

[Glenn]

Just heard ESPN Radio report (Bucher) that Rip was the only one that didn't have a "legitimate excuse"for missing shootaround and that the Pistons are claiming that this is all a "miscommunication" and not some kind of orchestrated statement of any kind.

Um, yeah.

[Tahoe]

If they legitimate excuses, why didn't they play?

[Glenn]

Tom Leyden on ESPN Radio right now talking Pistons.

A national embarrassment.

[Black Dynamite]

Sooooooooo, Utah tonight? um sweet, no Deron Williams. Pretty positive thing right?

[Glenn]

Dumars expected to release a statement prior to tonight's game.

[Glenn]

ESPN hosts laughing about how the story keeps changing from Pistons organization.

Coachman and Freddy Coleman, fwiw.

I'm getting some college BBall game on ESPN.
