                           No the headline doesn’t indicate that the Detroit Pistons will participate on the popular NBC prime-time game show - yet it is so appropriate in their current situation.  Now that the NBA season is officially over - thank you very much Boston Celtics - the trade winds will be blowing fierce this offseason.  And without [...]

On December 13, 1983, the Detroit Pistons defeated the Denver Nuggets 186-183 in triple-OT--the NBA's highest-scoring game. --0 Despite Denver's 68 baskets, no Nugget finished with double figures in assists. --2 Only two three-point shots were made in the game, in four attempts. --3 Three starters (Rob Williams and T.R. Dunn, Denver, and Cliff Levingston, Detroit) failed to score in double

Detroit Pistons Team President Joe Dumars and Charlotte Bobcats coach Larry Brown are know as pretty good judges  of NBA talent. However they both have one huge blotch on their permanent records. In 2003 when Brown and Dumars were together in Detroit, as Brown was the Pistons coach the team had the second pick in the NBA [...]

                           Michael Curry will be introduced as the Detroit Pistons coach on Tuesday at a news conference, reports Larry Lage of the Associated Press; Curry replaces Flip Saunders, who was fired by the team last week.  Curry agreed to a 3-year, $7.5 million contract, with the Pistons holding the option for a fourth year; Curry [...]

The “Detroit News” reported Monday that Detroit Pistons coach Flip Saunders met Saturday with Detroit President of Basketball Operations Joe Dumars, and apparently will remain next year as the Pistons bench boss. Saunders will be going into the last year of his contract, there are no reports of an extension. During Saunders three years as [...]

I wasn’t going to do a "running diary"-type of deal for tonight’s game. It just kind of happened, starting with the beginning of the second quarter. I love reading, but hate writing these things. The inevitable Bill Simmons-comparisons and the even more inevitable Bill Simmons-wannabe comments are, most of the time, too annoying to deal with. But the spacebar on my keyboard is broken (at this

Great game 6. The Celtics were just a little too much for the Pistons, especially in the fourth quarter. The Celtics outscored the Pistons 29-13 on the road. This will make for a classic NBA finals. The NBA and the fans all got the Lakers/Celtics final we all wanted: Celtics final finalby bsap11 Now I [...]

This got pretty intense during the Celtics/Pistons game 6 last night. Rasheed Wallace in particular, who’s always intense. There were some questionable calls on both ends of the floor but this foul was what set Rasheed off and luckily, ESPN had their cameras right there to catch the action.

Now we shall see if they can earn the rights to be called the “Big Three“. Paul Pierce scored 27 points Friday night, and the Boston Celtics came back in the fourth quarter with a vengeance to knock the Detroit Pistons out of the NBA Playoffs, winning the decisive game six 89-81 at the Palace [...]

Os Pistons estão definitivamente mais fortes e penso que a classificação de 3-2 é um tanto enganosa. Espero uma vitória relaxada por parte dos Pistons que garantirá o empate dos Playoffs e forçará os Celtics a discutir o Finalista no 7º e último playoff. A verdade é que os Celtics também se poderão esforçar por [...]

Mais um jogo dos playoffs, volta-se a jogar na casa dos Boston depois de cada uma das equipas ter ganho um jogo fora. Encontra-se assim esta eliminatória empata a 2. A diferença entre as duas equipas não me parece muito grande, mesmo pelos resultados das vitorias de cada uma dá para ver isso. Para estes jogos [...]

That’s the rumor, according to a report on Draft Express. White will skip the NBA pre-draft camp, which could mean he feels comfortable about his draft position with Detroit and sees no reason to participate. Detroit Bad Boys has a nice recap of all of the White-to-Detroit information, including a nice quote on D.J. from PostmanR: He [...]

AUBURN HILLS.- El alero Antonio McDyess surgió con su mejor actuación individual en los “playoffs” y los Pistons de Detroit lograron la victoria por 94-75 ante los Celtics de Boston en el cuarto partido de las Finales de la Conferencia Este para conseguir el empate a 2-2 en la serie al mejor de siete.McDyess surgió [...]

The Detroit Pistons sent a message Monday night, the NBA Eastern Conference Finals are far from over. Detroit forward Antonio McDyess had a huge first quarter, on his way to a double-double, and the Pistons held the Boston Celtics to a meager 31.8% ( 21-66) shooting from the floor for the game, while Detroit shot [...]

  The Celtics were known for their long stretch of road victories during the regular season, something that got lost in some way during these playoffs. And yesterday it was the first time for the team from Boston to win out of the TD Banknorth Garden arena since April 14 when they took down the Knicks [...]

Paul Pierce summed it up correctly. Forget about the monkey, they left that in Cleveland. The Gorilla is off the Celtics’ back. After splitting at home for the first time in the playoffs, the Celtics found themselves in the unfamiliar position of having to win a game on the road. It’d been over five weeks since the best road team in the NBA’s regular season won a game away from the fake Ga

Pistons 103 - Celtics 97: So theres good news and bad news for the Celtics after game 2. The good news is Ray Allen seems to have gotten out of his shooting slump. He had 25 points in game 2 which was his highest output in about 3 months. The bad news [...]

    I’ve said it before; in order to take a clear advantage at this 2008 NBA Playoffs, you must win road games, and that is what Detroit did yesterday at TD Banknorth Garden when they took on the Celtics and now the Pistons are heading to the motor city with a different mentality. It’s rare that the [...]

The greatest advantage that the Boston Celtics had in the 2008 NBA Post Season, is now a thing of the past for this series. Richard Hamilton led the Detroit Pistons with 25 points, all five Pistons starters scored in double figures, and a big night off the bench from rookie Rodney Stuckey gave Detroit a [...]

I’ll say it. The Pistons had no excuse losing Game 1 against the Celtics. The way I see it, the Pistons don’t have an excuse for losing any game to the Celtics (well, maybe one or two). Here are the facts. The Pistons have the best point guard, shooting guard, and center [...]

Watching the Celts beat the Pistons last night, I was surprised to see Billups not play like Billups. Now, I know he just came off of that bad injury, but in an interview with the crew at TNT, he said he was 100%. I know it's now good to rush an injury, but he wasn't 100%. Going into this series, I thought the Pistons could win. Now, I can't be so sure. Here my ruling: if Mr. Big Shot is not playi

Kevin Garnett scored a game high 26 points, Paul Pierce added 22 more, and the Boston Celtics shot 52.2% (39-69) from the floor for the game Tuesday night. The “Green Team” looked a lot more like the team that went 66-16 in the regular season, than the one that was stretched to seven games in [...]

Jogo 1 da Final de Conferência de Este Começam as finais de conferência, e defrontam-se hoje os 2ºs da Conferencia de Este, os Pistons, com os 1ºs, os Celtics. Os Pistons, depois de na fase regular acabarem com um registo de 59-23, defrontaram na 1ª ronda os 76ers, que ainda lhes deram pano para mangas. Perderam o [...]

                                  Lately, Detroit Pistons assistants have become a hot commodity.  One assistant, Terry Porter, was granted permission by the Pistons to interview for the vacancy in Phoenix while K.C Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reported on Saturday that the Pistons have denied permission for the Chicago Bulls to interview assistant Michael Curr

                       There was some of the good and bad in Tuesday’s game between the Orlando Magic and Detroit Pistons.  First the good: Detroit committed only 3 turnovers (a NBA playoff record).  Now the bad: Orlando committed 21 turnovers and Detroit shot only 36% from the floor.  While at first glance the bad outweighs the good for [...]

If you think about this next story you will quickly figure out that Orlando Magic point guard Jameer Nelson is a very savvy and bright young man. The Associated Press reported Sunday that Nelson told reporters, that the team has made adjustments, and he is personally guaranteeing a victory in Detroit for the Magic in game five [...]

The Pistons beat the Magic 90-89 to take a 3-1 series lead. I think that the Magic went too quick on the last play of the game. Hedo held the ball for a few seconds and didn't leave the Magic enough time to extend the game. I would have liked to see a quick shot, maybe a lob to Howard. He could have dunked it quickly and left time for the Magic to D them up.Defensive rebounding needs to be consistent for 48 minutes if you're Orlando. They let the Pistons get second opportunities that led to Pistons points. Orlando was already told by coach Van Gundy, but obviously that wasn't enough. Dwight Howard needs to take a leadership role and tell his guys to box out on defense.Detroit will win this series, but I think it will take two more games. Orlando has a real chance to win the whole series, t

                    Whether it will hurt the Detroit Pistons in the short-term is inconsequential, but according to the Associated Press, guard Chauncey Billups will not play in Game 4 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Orlando Magic on Saturday; coach Flip Saunders confirmed that Billups wouldn’t be effective because of a sore hamstring.  The Pistons [...]

                     It was long overdue that Orlando Magic forward Rashard Lewis broke out from his series-long shooting slump.  And boy did he break out in style; Lewis scored 33 points - including 5 three-pointers - in leading Orlando to a 111-86 annihilation of the Detroit Pistons Wednesday night at Amway Arena.  Although to be fair, [...]

A serie está neste momento 2-0 para Detroit mas ambos os jogos foram em Detroit, agora está na hora de Orlando mostrar o que vale e lutar pelo jogo isto se ainda quer ter esperanças de seguir nos playoff. As duas equipas conseguiram durante a época regular ser as campeãs das suas divisões, Detroit na divisão [...]

Os Pistons lideram por 1-0, ganhando o 1º jogo por 91-72. Para quem viu este jogo, este resultado foi bastante exagerado. Ao intervalo, os Pistons venciam por apenas 1 ponto, e é necessário dizer que os Magic não estavam a jogar nada. A diferença para a 2ª parte foi que os Pistons melhoraram e os Magic [...]

                                   Words cannot adequately describe the beating that the Detroit Pistons administered on the Orlando Magic Saturday night at The Palace of Auburn Hills.  Pure and simple - the Magic were beaten up physically, mentally- they were punked.  Neither team shot very well (Detroit at 42.9%, Orlando shot 40.5%) yet neither team committed very many [...]

The Pistons beat the Magic 91-72 to take a 1-0 series lead. This game was close for two and a half quarters. Then, with about five minutes to go in the third, Detroit played some "DETROIT BASKETBALL!" Orlando could've have stayed in the game if they made free throws and were actually aware of the out of bounds line. They have to take care of the ball and capitalize on free points from the line. Some three point shots wouldn't hurt either.I loved how Detroit played Howard. He wasn't able to get into a good rhythm; the Pistons kept putting different guys on him. Wallace and Maxiell will be the two that normally guard Howard. Orlando will make offensive adjustments and I'm sure there are a few things they can change defensively.Howard seems to have a bad hand. This is a huge concern because h

Wow, that was easily the worst game I have ever been to in every aspect. To be at a playoff game and only have 14,130 in attendance was disappointing but something I expected. I knew once they lost on Tuesday the fans would officially give up on the team and not come out and support [...]

Not much to say after getting manhandled like that. This was the first game in the series the 76ers looked like they were completely out of their league and had no shot of winning. Quick thoughts on the game: Samuel Dalembert’s Tribal Warrior hair cut, as Pete called it, was good enough for 4 points and 6 [...]

Jogo 5 desta série que não se esperaria que fosse tão renhida, no entanto já na época regular os Sixers criaram imensas dificuldades a Detroit e nos playoffs apesar de terem menor experiência isso não os impediu de serem agressivos e praticarem o seu basket físico, que coloca naturalmente dificuldades a Detroit. Por isso, apesar do [...]

OK, guys, I just got back from the Sixers game tonight, and I am still a little hot by the way they played in the second half. This game was the classic tale of two halves, and the 76ers picked the wrong one to show up for. Best way to describe this game is - [...]

                          The Detroit Pistons seem to be like a cat lately; by explanation, the team, like the cat, seems to have nine lives.  An exaggeration perhaps, but when their backs are against the wall, Detroit seems to revive themselves.  Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers would be the perfect scenario for them to test their [...]

Where do you start when your team comes off a disappointing playoff loss and plays the best game you could have asked for? I am beyond proud of our Philadelphia 76ers after tonight’s performance. The Sixers came out right from the tap and jumped all over the Detroit Pistons. They completely dominated [...]

Detroit já perdeu um jogo em casa de forma algo surpreendente. A equipa estava a ganhar por 13 pontos ao intervalo e perdeu por 4. No segundo jogo ganharam por esclarecedores 105-88 (estava por 14 ao intervalo) e hoje espero mais do mesmo. Os Pistons devido à sua melhor classificação perderam a home court advantage [...]

Philadelphia ganha 1-0 a série, conseguindo uma enorme surpresa vencendo em Detroit o 1º jogo. Os 76ers são uma equipa muito jovem, e só terem vindo aos play-offs já foi um feito.

Who would have thought after being down 15-points on the road, playing against a championship-caliber team, getting 4-16 shooting by our best player and having a roster filled with playoff newbies, the 76ers would be up 1-0 in their first round playoff series against the Detroit Pistons? Well, surprise, surprise, that's the unsettling reality everyone in Detroit must face, most importantly Flip Saunders and his "experienced" Piston players. In the first quarter the Sixers came out with tons of energy and attacked. After that initial burst it became clear Detroit was the more experienced team. They executed well on offense and looked under control at all times. What was also clear was that the Sixers had no plans of backing down. The Good
