...t on him or giving him much pressure. Worst Use of Smoke and Fire: (tie) New Orleans and Boston This is getting more and more embarrasing. While several other teams enjoy pregame pyromania, Boston is the only arena where players must navigate through fog banks during the opening minutes because of all the resultant smoke. I think they're trying to recreate the feeling of...

... that after the delay, Byron Scott sent out a lineup of David West and four reserves. But nobody had played for 20 minutes -- were his starters tired? While several other teams enjoy pregame pyromania, Boston is the only arena where players must navigate through fog banks during the opening minutes because of all the resultant smoke. It's bad enough that two Cleveland players have sat out ...

... or Amir Johnson nosed him out. That there's still enormous cachet associated with being a starter in the NBA is a testament to conditioning and to the league's marketing acumen. Pregame player introductions have risen to the level of high theater, nowhere more so than The Palace where Mason holds a crowd like quite no one else. But my guess is the Pistons' ...
