The 28-51 Pistons are in Charlotte to on the 32-47 Bobcats. A win in Charlotte will not only help me win a bet I made earlier this season but it will also prevent the Pistons from avoiding the first 12-game road slide since the mid 1990s. The good: Pistons now have another former top-10 pick [...]
Was Saturday’s win against the Pacers too little too late? Probably, but it doesn’t take away the enjoyment for Pistons fans to watch what this team can do when things are working right. The Pistons, in front of a packed crowd at the Palace of Auburn Hills, came back after a sluggish first half to [...]
LaMarcus Aldridge is in a tough situation. He plays in the Western Conference that is full of young, talented big men who all deserve to be on the All Star team. LaMarcus hasn’t openly complained about being one of the bigger snubs out West but last night, he proved to the Piston faithful that he [...]
In a battle over 2 teams that are a combined 31 games back of the Central Division standings, the Pistons came out on top 89-78. The night belonged to Richard Hamilton who, for all intents and purposes, had been virtually dismissed from the team that he helped win the 2004 NBA Finals. Hamilton scored 15 [...]
Despite playing their last game of a six day trip in Detroit while after blizzard like conditions, the (if they have it their way) Charlotte Bobcats took an important game Wednesday night at the Palace. Despite going blow for blow with the Bobcats through three quarter, everything seemed to collapse in the fourth for Detroit [...]
This was a tough loss for the Pistons. Detroit was up by 4 going into the 4th quarter against one of the league’s best teams in Miami. Austin Daye, Ben Gordon and Greg Monroe started in place of Chris Wilcox (LeBron started at the 4 with Chris Bosh out), Ben Wallace (out for personal reasons) [...]
Just when the tired, road weary Pistons looked like they were going to lose another game, a burst of Bynum energy propelled the team to their 16th win of the season over the hot Phoenix Suns. With Phoenix up by 14 points to start the fourth quarter it was the Pistons bench of Bynum, Daye [...]
The 15-28 Pistons are back home to take on Steve Nash and the 20-21 Suns. Phoenix is currently unbeaten on their 5 game road trip and am sure they would like to stay that way with a win over the Pistons Saturday night. Maybe the thought of their last contest against the Suns will motivate [...]
The Pistons dropped their second straight in New Jersey losing to the Nets 74-89. Any loss is disappointing, but to the team and its fans is the fact that they went down to the wire on Wednesday night against the Celtics and then put up a dud against the struggling Nets is just another sign [...]
The latest incarnation of the Detroit Pistons’ rotation can be viewed as a bit of a “success” because of the success the team has had since the benching of former starting shooting guard, Richard Hamilton. Despite rumors saying he was benched to avoid injury for a trade, or for being benched for being a poor [...]
The Pistons celebrated Martin Luther King day at home with their third straight victory. A feat that unfortunately the Pistons hadn’t accomplished since April of 2009. Despite 32 from Dirk Nowitzki, the Pistons, who shot a season high 57.5% for the game, took the matinee at the Palace 89-103. Key Points: Rodney Stuckey led Detroit [...]
The 14-26 Pistons will host the 26-13 Mavericks for a MLK matinee at the Palace of Auburn Hills Monday afternoon.The Mavs have won five straight against the Pistons with Nowitzki averaging 29.0 points. The Pistons, who have won the last 2 games haven’t strung three in a row since last April. Injury Updates: Ben Wallace [...]
The Pistons put their five game road losing streak to a halt with a victory over the Toronto Raptors Friday night. John Kuester again showcased his “new’ starting lineup of Prince, McGrady, Stuckey, Monroe and Wilcox in their 101-95 victory. Key Points: Apparently the Air Canada Center is just about the only place the Pistons [...]
New starting lineup tonight y’all: PG: McGrady SG: Stuckey SF: Tayshaun PF: Won’tcox Wilcox C: Monroe Same great results! Ben Wallace was out with an ankle so rookie Greg Monroe stepped in. Chris Wilcox stepped into the lineup for Villanueva after putting together some pretty solid performances lately (I think it was to showcase him [...]
The 11-24 Pistons will host the 17-21 Memphis Grizzlies Wednesday night at the Palace of Auburn Hills. The Grizzlies lead the NBA with 48.8 points per game in the paint, which means the Pistons have even more work ahead of them with Ben Wallace out for the game. Ben Wallace will rest his ankle tonight, [...]
