CHEERS: I give up. Time to use reverse psychology, so “cheers” to the Pistons for hitting 10 3-pointers to beat the Nets and improve to a red-hot 11-2.
JEERS: Nuggets coach George Karl was suspended for two games without pay by the NBA for publicly criticizing the refs. Like watching “The O.C.,” you should do that kind of thing in private.
