Dear Dr. T,

I write this letter to you with a heavy heart as well as a tremendous amount of personal guilt.

Please accept my sincere apology for the events that took place last night. I know how crushed you must be and I can only hope that you do not put to much weight on one game of a long season. After all Dr. T, It is only a game.

I wish I could have told my boys ( THE DETROIT PISTONS ) to please take it easy on the Lakers but I am not confident they would have listened to little old ceeboo. For the complete domination that was evident, I am indeed sorry.

Although I have not spoke to the entire team, I have talked with AI, Rip, and Sheed this morning. I have explained the whole LDS. NET forum thing as well as the many friends I have gained over the last few months. They ( all 3 ) have expressed much sorrow for destroying the hopes and dreams of many LA fans. They have also asked me to extend a personal apology to you for what they did to your team, especially in light of the fact that this tragic event took place on your floor!!!!!

I hope this " COMPLETE DOMINANCE " by the visiting team, does not weaken our friendship and I look forward to a time when you can find a way to get past this.

If there is anything I can do to help you during this very difficult time, please let me know.

Again, I am deeply sorry for any pain my Pistons may have caused you.

Sincerly,
Your DETROIT MICHIGAN friend
Carl
