It wasn’t pretty all the time. It took a hot shooting 1st half and high scoring 4th quarter, too. At the end of the night, all that matters is the Detroit Pistons beat the Utah Jazz 120-116, in front of 18,000 home fans. A night after the team experienced a “protest”, and after an afternoon [...]
The 21-38 Pistons bring the drama back home as they take on 32-27 Utah Jazz Saturday night at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Turmoil aside, the Pistons have not beaten Utah since March 13, 2005. The good: No Deron Williams The bad: The mutiny The adding to the bad: Reports of the Rip berating of [...]
Nowhere does it say that need to write my usual recap for the Pistons 94-110 loss to the Sixers. If you’re like me the past 48 hours of the saga that is Detroit Pistons basketball is enough to make your head spin. There was Dumars trying to work the phones at the deadline for Rip, [...]
This will be possibly the weirdest game preview I have ever posted. Some Pistons will take on the Sixers tonight in Philadelphia. Some coaches may be there too, but who knows. The game at this point is just an after affect of the anarchy in the locker room. This game will be interesting. If I’m [...]
Just when you thought things could only get better…we have this. “A day after the trade deadline passed, half the Pistons players missed Friday morning’s shootaround in what a team source called a “player protest.” Tracy McGrady, Tayshaun Prince, Richard Hamilton and Chris Wilcox did not show up to Friday’s morning shootaround. Ben Wallace also [...]
Looks like Joe Dumars was making good use of his Blackberry today trying to work deals that involved Rip Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince. First the Tayshaun Prince deal. Early Thursday the Pistons turned down a deal that would have sent Tayshaun Prince to Dallas for the expiring contract of injured Caron Butler and a late [...]
Looking pretty awful form most of the game and the Pacers leading by as much as 16 points, the Pistons got to within two early in the fourth period, but didn’t lead until Austin Daye’s 17 foot jump shot that put them one up with 11.1 remaining. Then Brandon Rush spoiled it and Rodney Stuckey’s [...]
The 21-37 Pistons are in Indiana to take on the 25-30 Pacers Wednesday night. Detroit would like to bounce back from their loss Tuesday night against the Rockets to gain ground on the Pacers who currently hold the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

With 24 games left in the season the Pistons have to sense some urgency, especially after Tuesday night’s 108-100 loss to the Rockets. Detroit, who started the game right, led by eight points after the first quarter, but made it an uphill battle the rest of the way. Key Points: Can someone, anyone, tell me [...]
The 21-36 Pistons will host the 26-31 Houston Rockets in their first game back from the All-Star break. Detroit needs to get off to a strong start to the second half of the season if they plan on making the playoffs. A win against the Rockets could be just what Detroit (who are 4 1/2 [...]

The Pistons finally broke whatever curse that the Pacers had on them Wednesday night at the Palace in their 109-115 overtime victory. Despite shooting over 65% in the first half and looking better than they have looked in quite some time, Detroit managed to let the Pacers back in the game late in the forth [...]
The 20-34 Pistons will host the 24-29 Pacers Wednesday night at The Palace of Auburn Hills. Indiana is going for its seventh consecutive win over Detroit when the teams meet for the first time this season. The good: There is none The bad: The mess that is everything about this team right now including public [...]
To me, booing your favorite team is something you should never do. Especially when that team has given you more good reasons than bad to cheer for them. Let’s face it folks, the Atlanta Hawks are one of the better teams in the Eastern Conference who give the Pistons matchup problems at 4 out of [...]
The 20-33 Pistons will host the 33-20 Atlanta Hawks for a Valentines game at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Atlanta has won seven of its last nine games away from home, but Detroit always plays the Hawks tough. In their last meeting in Detroit, Atlanta lost 103-80. The good: Still waiting for any Tom Gores [...]
