Exciting game at the Palace despite a Pistons loss to Rasheed Wallace and the Boston Celtics.   Detroit kept it close throughout, but couldn’t hold it together in the fourth quarter to get the W.  The Pistons are now 21-39 after the 105-100 loss to Boston.
Key Points:

Though wasn’t that close to the action, I could still [...]

The 21-38 Detroit Pistons will be hosting The 36-21 Boston Celtics tonight at the Palace.  Set another Sheed return aside, the Pistons are hosting something bigger than a ball game tonight. The Pistons Care Telethon is in progress and set to feed a lot of hungry people in Michigan. If you can [...]

Thanks to my up close and personal seat behind the Celtics Bench and my awesome Pistons themed Flip Video, here is Sheed’s return to The Palace of Auburn Hills for the very first time in green.
Straight from my unsteady hand to you in HD, with a special bonus, the Pistons opening intros.

You know I’m usually not one to do Podcasts, I have two of the best doing one for Need4Sheed, but when JP and Dave over at Palace/Garden contacted me about doing their Podcast I couldn’t resist.
See Dave is a Pistons fan and JP is a Celtics fan…hence the name Palace/Garden, and what comes out of [...]

Forget the fact that Detroit has now lost 4th straight, forget the fact that they haven’t beaten the Utah Jazz since 2005 or in Utah since Karl Malone was on court, what you should remember is this current Pistons squad gave us one heck of a game to watch.  They may have lost in OT [...]

You know I always catch something when it has to do with Sheed, so when this popped up in the Detroit Free Press this morning it had me asking this question.
Why Does Brian Scalabrine think he’s good at Basketball?
“I’m loving Rasheed Wallace,” Celtics small forward Brian Scalabrine said last week
“I’m incredibly psyched,” Scalabrine said. “Winning [...]

Via Yahoo Sports.
“Boston did offer Davis and guards J.R. Giddens and Gabe Pruit to the Pistons for forward Jason Maxiell and a first-round pick, but was quickly turned down.”
Now this doesn’t say what year that 1st rounder would come from but maybe that was and issue as well as the signing of Wilcox to fill [...]

From ESPN’s Mark Stein
“It’s believed that the Pistons, as of Thursday, have Rasho Nesterovic and Chris Wilcox ahead of Drew Gooden as their next free-agent targets, since it appears that they can’t assemble an offer sheet rich enough for Glen Davis to keep the Boston Celtics from matching.”
My thoughts..they are Centers, a position Detroit [...]

Though Sheed is gone, I still get a kick out of the video I made of Sheed vs. Stewie.

We have to keep ourselves busy with something while Joe D is working on what this team is going to look like.
