30 for 30: The Bad Boys

[ImHeisenberg]

a 30/30 about pops spurs would be nice but it'd never have the appeal.

Not the same appeal. Pops teams with Duncan have been/are amazing. But, they weren't the league's bullies like the late 80s Pistons were.

I think the 30 for 30 will be more about their attitude and physical play than their actual accomplishments.

18 second mark. Parrish punches Laimbeer.

Notice the ref watching the entire thing. He blows his whistle and calls a foul.

Parrish DID NOT get thrown out of the game. The refs didn't have the ba!!s to throw him out in Boston Garden. He continued to play, which helped the Celtics win game 5 (that was the game Isiah's pass was "intercepted by Bird who laid it off to DJ" in the closing seconds - so Parrish not getting thrown out was huge). The league then suspended Parrish for game 6 (one game) which Boston simply gave to the Pistons, knowing they'd be coming back to the Garden in game 7 to win it.

Can you imagine a player throwing those punches today and not getting thrown out immediately?

Such a different era. That's why you felt like you were at war as a fan. I remember going to game 6 at the Silverdome, and everyone wanted blood...but Parrish didn't even make the trip.

My DVR has me spoiled. I usually record shows then watch it later so I can skip through commercials. I'm excited to watch it as well.

Is there any way that I can watch this online? I'll have to miss at least the first hour of it if I can't watch it online.

Not sure, Notanoob, sorry :/

Comes on in like 15 mins. Are we going to live-chat about it while it's going on?
