The passion and the intensity each player, coach, and team brings to the floor game in and game out is unique.
Maybe the reason I can't sleep right now is because I have longing desire to go to a Detroit Pistons playoff game. Or maybe it is actually because I have a nasty cough and I can't go more than 30 seconds without coughing.
