The Pistons and their old/new small ball lineup will face the 14-24 Charlotte Bobcats tonight at the Palace. Like it or not it’s going to happen, whether it’s successful or not is another thing. The true test of Michael Curry’s coaching abilities will come if this new/old/new starting lineup fails….how long will it take for [...]

Curry cops out…for now at least. Rip and Iverson to start tonight. “We want our best players on the court as much as possible,” Curry said. “But for 32 minutes (of a game’s 48 minutes) we need to be big. A lot of nights Alan or Rip will be subbed kind of early but they’ll [...]
With Rip possibly coming back for tonight’s game against the Bobcats, Pistons fans are still wondering just how he’s going to fit in the new lineup. Some say AI should be the sixth man, some think it should be Rip, some think their time should be split. The thing is, Curry may not know what [...]
Thought you missed out on Need4Sheed’s last Suite Night at The Palace Contest? Don’t worry, I have another chance for you to win the ultimate Pistons fan experience! In honor of George Blaha’s induction into the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame on Monday, February 9, 2009, I’m dedicating this Pistons ticket giveaway to him. One [...]
As you know by now the Pistons still haven’t been able to beat the Utah Jazz for yet another season. This one was all about our old friend Memo, with few of the game Highlights (FSN Highlights by quarter) having to do with anything pertaining to Detroit. Sad to say that the most exciting thing [...]
Detroit’s lost seven in a row to the Jazz (21-15) the last one was a 120-114 double-overtime heartbreaking home loss on Dec. 19 despite getting a season high 38 from Iverson. It’s time to get that Utah monkey of the Pistons’ backs, but again they will have to try to do it without Rip Hamilton [...]
A thriller in Denver, Pistons steal one 93-90. The Pistons won their first game against their old friend Chauncey Billups in Denver. With Denver leading the entire game it was Tayshaun Prince’s hook in the lane with 20 seconds on the clock that gave the Pistons their first lead of the night. Tayshaun started it [...]
It’s not business as usual for the Pistons as they are set to go against their longtime teammate Chauncey Billups for the first time since the trade for Allen Iverson tonight in Denver. Chauncey has put his new team (2nd) in a place where they haven’t been in a while… the top half of the [...]
So don’t get in his way. The latest installment of The Pistons new series Teammates poses the question “Who is the teams biggest eater?” Funny stuff from Sheed, Tay, Rip, Stuckey, Maxiell, Amir and Aflac.
It was a tough way to put an end to the Pistons’ seven game winning streak. Iverson was once again put in the spot to take the last shot, but this time AI’s last-second shot didn’t go down and the Pistons lost to the Portland Trail Blazers 84-83. Key Points: Exciting game, yes – but [...]
As The Pistons get ready to put their seven game winning streak on the line in Portland, I had a chance to do Q&A with Sean Meager of Oregon Live’s Blazers Blog. Pistons fans got a great look at what LaMarcus Aldridge can do after he put up 27 at the Palace in the Blazers [...]
And the legend of Rasheed Wallace keeps growing. When I found out a local rapper and diehard Pistons fan had as much passion for Sheed as we do, I had to share. “Rasheed Wallace,” by Royal Oak rapper ALLiTiZ, is not about Rasheed Wallace as a person, or a basketball player. It’s about Rasheed Wallace [...]
Need4Sheed’s Sweet Suite night at the Palace was this past Friday night for The Pistons game vs The Kings. Thanks go out to all of you who entered the contest, but didn’t make the cut this time around. Don’t fret, you just may have a chance in the near future to experience a one of [...]
Rodney Stuckey named EC Player of the week. AUBURN HILLS, Mich. – An award usually passed back and forth among LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and a select few others has been claimed by someone knocking on the door to their exclusive club: Rodney Stuckey. Stuckey led the Pistons to a perfect 4-0 week despite the [...]
The Pistons finally won a game on Sunday as they squeaked out a W against a severely depleted Los Angeles Clippers team at The Staples Center. It took an Allen Iverson fingerroll goaltending call with 2.8 seconds left on the clock to seal the 88-87 victory for Detroit. Key Points: Detroit is on its largest [...]
Detroit starts their four game West Coast trip Sunday afternoon in LA against the 8-24 Clippers. The good news – the Clippers, who are just 3-13 at home, are on a six game losing streak, and are a perfect 0-9 against the Eastern Conference this season. The bad news – it’s Sunday! Detroit has yet [...]
