Sounds like your average fans, right?
Well, actually, it's the employees at the Palace, too.
A number of ushers and other employees are showing their support for their home team in some rather creative ways, and loving every minute of the Pistons' run for the title.
Getting pestered with questions, showing people where to go and telling them what not to do may not sound like the dream job to you, but Jeff Oberley puts it a different way.
"I have a high stress job. I come and do this for fun," Oberley said. "It is the greatest job in the world."
Oberley got into the spirit of things with red, white and blue dye for his moustache and eyebrows.
"I do my hair once in a while too," he said. "I'm going to do it for Sunday."
The tri-color treatment takes about three minutes to apply, courtesy of another co-worker who decorates some of the employees and then moves on to do face-painting for fans at the West Entrance. Two minutes on, but how long to wash off?
"About two minutes. It comes right out with soap. But if it gets wet, it won't run, but if you throw some soap at it, it comes right out."
(Impressive. And we must admit, that's a lot better than we expected, but I guess that high-stress job probably wouldn't look too kindly upon painted eyebrows.)
And while Oberley gets the chance to work in various areas of the arena, he has his favorites.
"I'm new, so I work wherever they tell me," said Oberley from his Game 4 post in section 227. "I've been downstairs, I've been up, but actually I like it up here the best. This is people like me right here, this is me up here."
Dayna Humphrey shares Oberley's enthusiasm for the job.
"My favorite part is that we actually get to watch the game while we're inside doing our jobs," said Humphrey. "Basically after you sit everybody, there's really not too much hard work to do – keep an eye on everybody, enjoy the game, and have fun."
And the "I LOVE RIP" painted on her left cheek?
"Yes, I love Rip," said Humphrey. "He's my favorite player. He's so cute. I love Rip."
And Humphrey has stood by her man throughout the postseason. Well, for the most part.
"One time, I got "I NEED 'SHEED" because the game when 'Sheed only scored two points, I was like, 'Oh my God, I've got to do something.' So, it was a little form of encouragement for 'Sheed."
But simple face-painting isn't enough for all.
Virginia Gabriaul sports a home-made headband with pipe-cleaner curlicues and round photos of each of the Pistons' starting five bopping on her head.
"Four of us wear this," Gabriaul said. "We love the Pistons. We love 'em. We're psyched."
Cathy Clay also took her fandom to her head, literally, wearing a blue Pistons headband with red webbing like a basketball net over her hair.
"This is the most fun part-time job you could ever get," said Clay. "It's fantastic."
A high school math teacher, we just had to ask…
So, what's rowdier, your classroom or the crowd here?
"My class! Definitely," said Clay. "The crowd is actually nice. I've been on giveaways, on tickets, they always say 'thank you' and 'please' – they are so nice here."
And Clay plans on sticking with her headgear and the Pistons medallion she's been wearing around her neck for as long as it takes.
"If it's not broke, don't fix it, so I'm keeping everything the same and hopefully keep winning at home."
And they say that athletes are superstitious.
