Hoops Matinee: Sixers Pick On Someone (Closer To) Their Own Size in Detroit

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 12:00:00 -0500

After narrowly escaping with a win against the worst team in the East missing four of their top six players (though to be fair, the Celtics struggled with that same Nets squad last night--scrappy bunch, I guess), the Sixers have somehow managed to turn a relatively unimpressive start into a winning 3-2 record. Of course, it's hard to judge precisely where this team is at, since the only teams they've played thusfar have been the best (Orlando, Boston), and the worst (Milwaukee, New Y...

Hamilton out … again

It’s official: Detroit Pistons coach John Kuester on Monday said Hamilton will not play Tuesday when the Pistons face the Orlando Magic. Kuester added Hamilton would be “day-to-day” after that. The good news is that Ben Gordon is kind of awesome and will continue to produce with more playing time. The bad news, though, is that the [...]

Pistons-Bucks Game Wrap

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 13:31:26 -0500

What Happened Good question. For the second game in a row, the Pistons were cruising until the second half. The Bucks made some defensive adjustments, but it’s pretty hard to credit defensive adjustments with a 36-14 quarter and 41-14 run overall. Detroit flat out stopped playing basketball. The Good Ben Gordon completely dominated the first half, as Detroit [...]

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 16:14:28 -0500

Whether you are happy, sad, or indifferent about Gordon leaving the Bulls, it will be weird to see him in a Pistons jersey this season. Well I had my “Gordon as a Piston” cherry popped today when I saw this on BDL. Enjoy the picture and have a great weekend.

Particulars on Gordon's Pistons contract

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 15:43:46 -0500

Chris McCosky of the Detroit News: I have seen Ben Gordon's contract offer from the Pistons reported as high as $60 million.

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 11:30:16 -0500

When I spoke to Ben Gordon late Wednesday, after he agreed to a free-agent deal with Detroit, one comment he made was that he felt Bulls fans had been "cheated." He didn’t elaborate, but I think he was referring to how the Bulls have given away some quality players in recent years to keep the payroll modest. Mike McGraw. Mostly just putting a new thread up, but this is interesting. So was another Gordon quote saying "I'm going to a situation now where winning is...
