Detroit Sports Links - Pistons Lose Again, Jason Richardson Likes to Sit on the Bench, Bruce ...
The Pistons got spanked by the Oklahoma City Thunder last night. Maybe it was because they were shooed out of the gym during practice so that a movie could be filmed? Or maybe it was because they don't have Kevin Durant. At least they didn't get beat as bad as the Wizards did.

Spurs to retire Bruce Bowen’s jersey in March
Every championship team has several key role players who make a huge difference with limited responsibilities. They're necessary components of a winner, though, and those players deserve credit for what they do. Usually, that comes in the form of a ridiculous contract or random team honor involving a gold watch and short pre-game ceremony. Because, you know, those guys still...
