President Bush To The Pistons: "Nobody expected you to win."

The Detroit Pistons met with President George Bush at the White Houst on Monday.

"Nobody expected you to win," Bush said to the team. "I know how you feel."

He congratulated the Pistons for winning a championship "the right way" - with teamwork.

Prior to the ceremony Rasheed Wallace was asked what he would say to the president, he said, "I don't have (expletive) to say to him. I didn't vote for him. It's just something we have to do."

Warriors forward Troy Murphy sustained a hairline fracture in his left thumb Friday and did not dress for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

Murphy said the injury occurred when he went up for a rebound in the third quarter and caught a Sonics player who was on his way down.

Murphy stayed in the game and finished with 13 points and nine rebounds in 32 minutes.

Warriors officials said Murphy will be re-evaluated early this week after the team returns to Oakland. He had his swollen and purple thumb immersed in an ice bath prior to the Clippers game.
