The Pistons beat the New Orleans Hornets 89-87 Saturday night at the Palace of Auburn Hills despite losing Brandon Knight within the first five minutes of the game.

Remember me telling you that Danny and I just went on a podcasting marathon with my good friend and former Director of Strategic Communications at the Palace Sports and Entertainment Dave Wieme? Well I wasn’t kidding at all. The podcast was so long I had to cut this one it two. If you missed the [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Amidst the trade talk, the 12-24 Pistons are in Chicago to take on the 24-12 Bulls. The Bulls are on a season-high six-game home win streak and will try to win it’s 10th straight game against Detroit on Monday night. And in case you were wondering, Rip was at the morning shoot around for the [...]
The deal to send Rip Hamilton out of Detroit could be finished soon. “A three-team deal involving the Detroit Pistons that would include at least 15 players — with Rip Hamilton and Chauncey Billups winding up in New Jersey with Anthony — could be completed as soon as this week, sources said. The primary elements [...]
(sorry for the bad shtick headline, I couldn’t resist) Will Bynum, who was recently benched in favor of Tracy McGrady, got a chance to remind us of why Joe Dumars viewed him as a key re-signing this past offseason. Bynum, who was able to see significant minutes in this game due to Richard Hamilton (upset [...]
Another game, another way to lose in embarrassing fashion. The best player on the floor, Blake Griffin, had his way with the Pistons early and often. Even when the Pistons decided to foul him hard, it wasn’t enough. I believe during the last podcast that Natalie and I discussed the worst losses of the season [...]
It’s always tough when one of your players go down, but for the Pistons who were riddled with injuries last season the loss of their spark plug Jonas Jerebko with what looks to be a season ending injury in the starting minutes of their first Pre-Season game hurt. What it also doses is put holes [...]
The Detroit Pistons Last Year’s Record: 27-55 Key Losses: Do Chucky Atkins and Kwame Brown count? Key Additions: Tracy McGrady, Greg Monroe and Terrico White Since we are lucky enough to have Danny on board this season, we are going to do a double preview this year. We will go through the same questions and [...]
To quickly re-hash what has happened this offseason: Rasheed Wallace, the inspiration for this site, decided to hang up his Air Force Ones and call it a career PF/C Greg Monroe and SG Terrico White were selected by the Pistons in the 2010-2011 NBA Draft Ben Wallace and Will Bynum signed multi-year deals to remain [...]
Ok, I know I told you guys that in the coming days (weeks) that I’d give some prospective on the current players on the roster and their contract status. I will list them in order of the regular rotation position from last season. Rodney Stuckey (PG) – 1 yr remaining at $2.7m, with an option [...]
The 26-55 Detroit Pistons will be on the road for their final game of the season Wednesday night against the 15-66 Minnesota Timberwolves. A victory over the Pistons for the Timberwolves would avoid matching the worst record in franchise history. For the Pistons, their lottery seed will have to wait until the final games play [...]
Need4Sheed Guest Writer: JOE D This was a great game for Toronto fans who were hoping to see their team fight their way into the eighth spot in the Eastern conference playoffs. For Pistons fans, it was a feeling all the same, just another reminder of what kind of season it has been in Detroit. [...]
The 26-54 Pistons host the Toronto Raptors for the last home game of the season. This should actually be competitive considering the Raptors are trying to hold on the the last playoff spot without the services of Chris Bosh. Rodney Stuckey, Rip Hamilton and Chris Wilcox are all game time decisions. The Scouting Report via [...]
