NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
How strange it felt last night flipping through the channels on the big screen while waiting for my wife to come downstairs. We were going to watch the season ender for Warehouse 13 that was recorded on the DVR. Then there it was, a NBA basketball game. The Detroit Pistons against the Miami Heat. It did not seem right. The game was only exhibition and it just seemed too soon. Pro sports seasons are so long the off seasons seem too short.
Most of my friends don’t even watch basketball until January, when football switches over to the playoffs and bowl games. But there it was.
Dwyane Wade led Miami in scoring
It was a nothing game and Detroit and Miami are two teams that are going to race up and down the court to make up for some defensive deficiencies and some lack of height and that is what they were doing.
It was a good night for Dwyane Wade.
Dwyane Wade led Miami with 18 points.
The Pistons led by as many as 17 in the second half, but Miami came back in the fourth quarter. The Heat comeback was helped by a mistake by the replacement officials with 1:21 left. Bynum made two free throws to apparently put Detroit up 87-78, but the Miami players pointed out that Bynum hadn’t been fouled on the play.
After a discussion, the points were taken off the board and Maceo Baston was sent to the line, where he missed both shots.

Chris Wilcox and Ben Gordon each scored 11 points and will play a big part in the Pistons this season.
The game was hard to watch, because there is just no intensity in a preseason game.
