I think he did see it and is just saying that it wasn't very cleverly integrated with the NBA footage. It's just an NBA promo with Shia lazily pasted on top of it. They didn't integrate him in any way where he looks like he's actually interacting with the players or where they are reacting to him. By contrast, the spoof video with Shia motivating Luke Skywalker to use the Force is much better done, both in terms of effects quality and in terms of its smooth integration with the Empire Strikes Back footage.

I take it you didn't see the Shia motivational speech thing that was floating around? It's weird. The dude is weird.
Na I didn't mean it was a weak promo. More that it was a weak Shia meme or whatever. There are some really great Shia videos out there using that footage.

This one is amusing.

Someone over at Realgm translated some comments from Dragic made this off season.

http://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtop ... start_here

Interesting that he puts the blame on McD. Also that they told him they were trying to trade IT for awhile.

Beware the comments. Seems Dragic isn't liked too much over there. So much so they even attack the guy for posting it in the first place. :)

Not much in the way of news but it is the off season.

Just reading those comments made my blood boil.

I don't even post anymore and that realgm link just made me have to post.

There is a serious lack of logic and a disconnect with "reading comprehension" "logic" and "understanding human nature" in reading the comments of those posters.

Total rudeness to the guy bringing the news, too.

I wanted to bitch slap them through the computer screen.

Go Dragic, best of luck everywhere. You will alway have my support.

The Detroit Pistons have acquired veteran Ersan Ilyasova from the Milwaukee Bucks, adding a long-range shooter to their frontcourt.

Detroit sent forwards Caron Butler and Shawne Williams to Milwaukee in the trade announced Thursday.

I feel like we missed out on an opportunity to unload the Morris twins here.
