There were two big stories in Orlando Friday night. Richard Hamilton returned to the starting lineup for the Pistons and they won. It was a familiar and cohesive looking Pistons team that took the floor and didn’t back down until the job was done. The 93-85 victory over a strong Orlando team on the road [...]

Richard Hamilton takes the floor tonight against the 45-15 Orlando Magic in his familiar, and well deserved role as the starting shooting guard for The Detroit Pistons. Allen Iverson, who is likely to be a game time decision because of his strained back, will come off the bench for Detroit. A role that Iverson has [...]
The Detroit Pistons see-saw madness continues (not that I’m unhappy about Rip’s return). The Detroit Free Press: “Pistons coach Michael Curry announced this morning that Rip Hamilton will be back in the starting lineup, playing alongside Rodney Stuckey, in an effort to jumpstart a team in the midst of an eight-game losing streak. “It’s nothing [...]
Game on the line, Sheed having a great game, blows his top after a foul call and trows two towels. One into the stands which led to his 16th technical foul of the year and then another on the court. httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMTSqptfRU4 No Sheed in Orlando against the Magic – SUSPENDED UPDATE 2 of Sheed’s Techs [...]
The Pistons probably aren’t looking forward to their second game in two nights against Chris Paul and the 33-22 New Orleans Hornets. And as Pistons fans I don’t think I have to tell you why. OK I guess I will tell you a little something that’s eating on all of us right now. First time [...]
The Detroit Pistons just dropped below .500 basketball with their seventh straight loss, 91-103 to The Miami Heat. With the loss Detroit fell into a tie for sixth in the East with Philadelphia, and needs to win in New Orleans today to avoid matching the franchise’s longest skid since 1995. Key Points: Should we look [...]
The Piston and their six game losing streak are in Miami to take on the 29-26 Heat. Of all the games on Pistons’ current road trip, this game against Miami may be the most winnable for a seriously slumping Detroit team. Miami has currently lost seven of their last 11 games. Dwyane Wade seems to [...]
“We don’t have that one guy that steps in, get on a person for doing something wrong,” McDyess said. “We have certain nights where one person would say something, and another would, but we need that one person who will be there, and we know that they got our back and that they’ll get on [...]
For “From Feared to Absurdity” ……First off I would like to thank God, if it weren’t for him I wouldn’t be standing here today. Joe Dumars for giving me this once in a lifetime opportunity to coach these players. For pulling off a trade for Allen Iverson that has a lot to do with me [...]
The Pistons start off their brutal road trip in Cleveland tonight to face LeBron James and his 42-11 Cavs. “We lost again,” guard Rodney Stuckey said. “I don’t know. I really can’t explain anything anymore. We just keep losing, and now we’ve got some great teams to play.” Via NBA.com Stuckey has averaged 8.2 points [...]
Too bad the Pistons couldn’t pull out the win in last night’s game against the Spurs. The 83-79 home loss marks the Pistons’ fifth in a row and puts them under 500 at The Palace with 15 losses at home, equaling what they had all of last season. Key Points The crowd at the Palace [...]
As all of you know by now Joe Dumars and the Pistons stood pat at the trading deadline, so beyond the firing of a certain coach it looks like this team will probably stay just the way it is. Oh wait…it can get worse, did anyone take a look at the next block of games? [...]
DIME Magazine interviewed The Detroit Pistons Rodney Stuckey for a feature in this month’s DIME. It’s a great read for any Stuckey/Pistons fan. DIME went a step further for Need4Sheed readers…. After you finish reading the piece on Stuckey leave STUCKTACULAR in the comment section of the article with your correct E-Mail address and one [...]
I will start this post with my apologies for the hiccups on the site the past two days. It seems as though the server had issues, but I think I’m back up and running at about 80% right now. Now on with my analogy. I came to the conclusion last night that the Pistons are [...]
Now Rip, there is nothing to be ashamed of when it comes to Hammer Time!
Forget the ESPN trade machine, forget what your friend said he heard, noting is really solid until someone makes a deal. Dave Dial (always good with the numbers) confirms that maybe, just maybe a deal is forthcoming for the Pistons. “A couple of things bear mentioning. Marc Stein’s numbers are different that Chris McCosky’s, and [...]
