I remember that game... hardly a brawl (like when Mahorn got his ass whipped by Buck Williams)... pretty cool bull rush though... the whole team was proud... Barkley instigated a lot.

I hated Laimbeer and I hated players that played dirty, Zeke included.

You would not have hated them if you lived in Detroit back then.

Side note:
Laimbeer is a pretty well spoken guy, and very smart. I was always kinda shocked that he never went into an analyst role on TV somewhere. I'm guessing part of that is because he always played a villain, but it still seems like something that could work, especially in the Detroit market. Guess he decided he would rather coach, kind of a shame in my mind.

He used to be the Pistons color analyst with Blaha.

This is true, I was thinking about him working for a national broadcaster like ESPN, TNT, Fox Sports 1, NBC Sports, that kind of thing.

he's not very tactful and he doesn't apologize for who he is. From a business standpoint, you need to be able to trust that your employees can behave themselves, especially as part of national media. Laimbeer can not be trusted
