Touted as excellent scorers and indifferent defenders coming into the season, Gordon and Villanueva have also worked hard on the defensive end, contributing to the Pistons’ defensive averages of 89.62 points per game and 0.471 field goal percentage for opponents. Both Gordon and Villanueva have committed to playing defense with the Pistons and bec...

I'm getting to be a bit of a twitter addict. I know some of you are too *cough* *cough* KWAPT *cough*. So I'm thoroughly enjoying Chris Bosh and Charlie Villanueva racing to 50,000 followers. Here's Charlie to explain things: How awesome would it be to see Chris Bosh doing that? Imagine...
