What was up with the pregame intros last night? Showing old images of Detroit with burned out cars and the like during Pistons players?
Like that wasn't going to piss them off. I only hope the Maloofs didn't kow anything about it...

The Maloofs also apologized to Sacramento with a full page ad in the paper today. I think everyone pretty much agrees around here that it was a classless move and want to make sure that it never happens again.
The guy responsible has intros made for every team in the NBA, I bet they all get scrapped after this fiasco. Who knows what he has put together for real "rivals" such as LA. The organization has already had some questionable antics with the Lakers.

I think it was the Jazz that did something really bad too a couple of years ago when they played the Lakers. Can't remember exactly what, but it had to with Kobe and his rape charges.

Was it the Jazz that did the Karl Malone spoof?

NBA fines Jazz $15,000 for Malone spoof
NEW YORK: A comedy routine that mocked Los Angeles Lakers stars Karl Malone and Kobe Bryant turned out to be costly one for the Utah Jazz. The NBA on Friday fined the Jazz 15,000 dollars for performing a skit that “ridiculed opposing players.” The skit took place between the first and second quarters of Saturday’s game between the Jazz and Lakers when Utah’s bear mascot held a mock telephone conversation with a Malone impersonator over the Delta Center public address system. The 40-year-old Malone signed with the Lakers in the offseason after spending 18 years of his career with the Jazz. “Go tell (Jazz owner) Larry (Miller) I want to come home,” the Malone impersonator said. “I don’t care if Stock (John Stockton) ain’t there. I want to come home. They’re mean to me here. They don’t give me the ball. They don’t like me.” The Malone voice added, “But I guess it could be worse,” alluding to Bryant’s rape charge. |
