When he was talking about players getting knocked out my mind drifted back to the days of my Bad Boy Pistons. And before anyone says it, yeah, I know, outside of Detroit not too many people liked em. I always figured he had to get the basic idea from hockey, being Canadian and all. The set up is the same, a center, two forwards, and two guards in place of defensemen. The only player missing is a goalie standing in front of the basket, swatting the ball away. Maybe I'm incorrect in my assumption but the similarities between the games are there.

@experimenttryingtouploadst1204 Yeah, to be honest, Detroit fans can cross that line from time to time. Anyone old enough to remember sitting in the Center Field Bleachers at Tiger Stadium can attest to that. That was a rocking night of Deeetroit...Basssssketball at the Palace that night.
