Are Sox Fans Rooting For The Pistons?

cbI’m curious over here – are Red Sox fans rooting for the Pistons?  

Not because of the riots that’ll break out all over Detroit if they blow this series, but I feel like if you’re a Red Sox fan with no gambling interest, there’s no way you want Chicago coming back from down 0-3.  Not that it would take away from the great Red Sox comeback of ‘04, but wouldn’t you rather keep this distinction to as a few teams as possible? 

I would think the answer is “yes”, because if the Bulls do it, then maybe the Sabres can, then the next thing you know, everybody and their uncle is coming back from down 0-3 and it just doesn't seem that special. 

I mean as everybody knows, right now there are only 3 teams in the history of professional sports to accomplish such a feat – the always entertaining 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs, the ’75 Islanders, and the ’04 Red Sox.  I couldn't make it to the first two, but I personally witnessed the most recent of those game 7's and trust me, it wasn't pretty seeing that fat slob Kevin Millar celebrate on the same mound where Andy Hawkins once threw his patented hanging slider.
