Well, I’m on vacation right now so I don’t have a lot of computer time. But just so people didn’t think I wouldn’t show up if the Lakers lost I’d like to congratulate the Pistons. I’m glad Larry Brown won a ring, I like him a lot. And good for Hamilton - glad to see one more person prove what a disaster the Wizards are when it comes to player development (and Michael still thinks he’ll be a good GM?). And too bad for Detroit. A good burning riot could have only improved the place. 🙂 ---

If you can, read the article by David Aldridge on the Wizards. It’s not just Rip Hamilton they let go off. Include Rasheed Wallace and Ben Wallace. And, a sundry other talents on other teams. > **[Aldridge: From Washington to world champion](https://www.espn.com/nba/playoffs2004/columns/story?columnist=aldridge_david&id=1822595)** > > With all of Detroit's ex-Wizards, a Pistons title should be celebrated in Washington, D.C., too.
