Where did this come from?
When was the last time the Pistons scored like this? I think Reagan was in office. They snap their 11 game losing skid beating the 76ers 124-103. That’s in regulation by the way, and without the team’s leading scorer Rip Hamilton who sat due to an ankle injury. The 124 points was a season high that came on a season high 62.7% shooting.

Villanueva hints at more discource via Twitter
Here’s a series of 3 Tweets made by Charlie Villanueva that were made about an apparent incident today.
If I had to take a shot in the dark I’d say Vill was informed his services would no longer be needed for the remainder of this season. He’s talking about not being disrespectful but personally I feel that posts like this are disrespectful if not even a little...

Game Day Film Session: Josh Smith clowning on Mike Bibby
This is honestly one of the funniest things I’ve seen in awhile. Mike Bibby is trying to concentrate in the huddle while Josh Smith keeps messing with him. Bibby’s reaction is priceless.

Suns cruise past Pistons
Phx (109) / Det (94) The Pistons had their moments, but for the most part the Suns got an easy win last night at the Palace.
The Suns shot 56.2% and lit up the Pistons from downtown 51.7% hitting on 15 of 29 attempts. The Pistons didn’t fare so well from behind the long-line going 2 of 11. Some guy named Jared Dudley hit on 6 of 7 from deep giving the Suns 20 off the bench...

Jonas Jerebko in good rookie company
Jonas Jerebko has been a bright spot in a pretty dismal season of Pistons’ basketball. Who would have thought at the beginning of the season that he’d have a chance to finish the season as #2 all-time for most starts as a Pistons’ rookie. If he stays healthy that’s exactly what Double-J will do with a total of 73 starts.
Here’s a look at the top...

Game Day Film Session: Zeke Vs. Goliath
April 7th, 1989 – You can say what you want about Isiah Thomas but you’ll never be able to say the man would back down to anyone. Here’s 6′1″ Isiah giving up a foot to Bill Cartwright. Despite the height disparity Zeke got in some quality shots.
The fight stemmed from a previous game where Isiah took an elbow from Cartwright that he wasn’t even penalized for.

Salley on the Bulls odd draft evalutions
This struck me as odd when I read how the Bulls “evaluated” John Salley as a potential draftee in 1986:
“They brought me to Chicago three times, and the last trip in they brought me into a room with (GM) Jerry Krause and (coach) Doug Collins and the trainer,” Salley said on WGN-AM’s “Sports Central.” They made me strip down to my underwear...

Pistons become “That Team”
One of the things we’ve been able to say this season is at least we haven’t lost to the Nets. No more. New Jersey went all “we’ve got a brighter future” on the Pistons beating them 118-110 in East Rutherford.
I’m sorry, but ping-pong balls are not worth this.
The Pistons just gave up so many easy buckets to the Nets. How do you let two bigs...

Something really unholy about this
Fans of the Bad Boys will understand why The Air Jordan VI Retro Detroit Pistons edition seems like more of a tongue-in-cheek model than something that actually exists.
I guess it’s a nice looking shoe. Although, I don’t think MJ will be trying to market it to guys like me whom will NEVER GET OVER IT!

Will Bynum hearts haters
Even though Will has gotten a chance to start you gotta love that he’s not thinking about lottery balls, dude want W’s.
His success has not gone to his head either, in fact he doesn’t even listen to praise:
“I don’t really listen to the good things. I pretty much like to strive off the bad things that a lot of people are saying.”

Have we seen the last of Ben Wallace?
Ben Wallace returned to the Pistons with little more than mentoring responsibilities expected of him. From day one he gave the team more than they could have ever bargained for, and at a bargain price no less. Upon signing his one year deal they said Ben figured to be the 5th big man in the rotation but on opening night he was the starting center.
After a couple of seasons plagued...

Thrill wallpaper
If you’ve followed the site then you know that I like to do vector drawings (when time permits). This Will Bynum pic has been in the works for a long, long time. I’ve messed with it here and there, but work and home keeps me pretty busy. Well, I finally finished it and decided to turn it into a wallpaper.

Pistons make more dubious history
Speak up, the suck is deafening in this piece
There has never been a Pistons team that has been swept in a season series by the Pacers, until now that is. With their 98-83 win over the Pistons the Pacers took all four regular season games (plus the final 2 last season) for the first time since they were part of 1976-77 NBA-ABA league merger.

Pistons receive a beatdown
[Det 79 @ Cle 104] Last night’s game against the Cavs was more indicative of the disparity between these two teams then the previous three contests. The win gave the Cavs their first season sweep of the Pistons since the 1979-80 season. The Cavs have actually took the last 7 games against the Pistons, 11 if you count the playoff series sweep.

Comeback in vein, Pistons lose to Pacers
[Det 102 @ Ind 106] Last night Detroit gave all the Ping-Pong Piston fans quite a scare as they almost pulled off a big comeback win over the Pacers.
The Pistons seemed to be behind from the start of this game. Going into the half the Pacers had the Pistons down by 21, the Pacers were shooting the ball straight (60%), and the Pistons were not (37%). The Pistons didn’t...

Pistons take Cavs to the wire, refs no help
[Cle 113 Det 101] At this point your guess is as good as mine. The Pistons got embarrassed by a struggling Celtics team in Boston, then turn around, fly home, and nearly pull one out against the team with the league’s number one seed.
The final score sees the Cavs winning by a dozen points, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. The Pistons played Clelveland...
