Disclaimer: I am currently in Dominica, country 160 on TCC and 120 on the UN list (see TPOL’s Out of the Office: Where Could I Be? & see Where I’ve Been), but had to return to the virtual cubicle to write this angry post.
I travel to watch sports (see Michigan National Basketball Championship). But sometimes, I travel to travel and would still like to watch my favorite teams battle from the comfort of the hotel bar. This dream is on life support with the advent of streaming services like Amazon Prime and Peacock.
Yesterday, my Pistons, in name only (see Wide World of Sports: The Best of Where I’ve Been), looked to close out the series against the shitty Cavs in Detroit in game 7. I went to the hotel bar with low expectations that the hotel would be showing the game. Of course, the hotel is not an Amazon Prime member. I also checked to see if ESPN Caribbean may be showing the game. It was no. It was showing UCLA softball. After finishing my welcome drink, which may or may not be complimentary (a post for another time), I went back to my room and watched this shell of a team play uninspired basketball.
Duren is worthless and should not be signed to a new contract. He’s still a better person than Jeff Bezos.
Sorry your Pistons got stomped.
Yes stomped in 7. So much stomping. They would’ve tarnished the legacy of real Pistons teams had they went the finals. #ballsosoft
