According to published reports, both Tony Ronzone, Pistons director of basketball operations, and Scott Perry, Pistons director of player personnel, are candidates for Seattle’s now vacant general manager job. (Ironically, the man who held the position up until last week was Rick Sund, who…

Cheick Samb is going mainstream
When the Pistons traded Maurice Evans for Cheick Samb last summer, I figured it was little more than an effort to dump Evans’ contract for a long-shot prospect who might not ever play a single minute in the NBA. That still may be the case, but over the past year Samb has emerged from a…

Game 3 preview
There isn't much to say about this series until Miami wins a game. There were some adjustments that the Heat could've made in game two but (wisely or not) chose not to. The starting lineup was the same, they were aggressively trapping Ben Gordon like before, they were working Shaq early…

Yee-ness, D.C. parties and more
Washington -- Very little buzz here in D.C. over the impending Game 3, but that is understandable. While the Wizards tag this town as the most powerful city in the world, it's also a place that loves a winner and...

Game 3 curse? Dead. Get the brooms ready
You could tell from the opening tip that the fans in Orlando were geeked about their first taste of playoff basketball since 2003. The crowd was rocking, easily drowning out the TV announcers several times in the early going, especially as the Magic scored the first eight points of the…

Lakers Bounce Back, 95-89 Lakers (Series 2-1, Suns)
A confused Raja talks to a visibly disgusted Nash.Well, it was bound to happen and, honestly, I can't say I'm surprised that it happened. The Suns go nuts in game 2 and absolutely demolish the Lakers in every aspect. Everyone jumps on the "SWEEP!" bandwagon, people start talking like the series is…

There's still more for Lakers to get
Phil Jackson has laughingly said it in the past: After you lose a game in the playoffs, no one thinks you'll ever win again. And after you win a game, everyone thinks you're great again. I'm not sure anyone is assuming the Lakers will win this series now that they've gotten Game 3, but they do…

Pistons look to end Game 3 curse

OK, Lindsey Hunter likes The Cheesecake Factory, we get it
Does Lindsey Hunter have an endorsement deal with The Cheesecake Factory? Because he deserves one. Seems like every place I look today he’s there talking about it. From Pistons.com: “There’s no Cheesecake Factory here, so that’s the biggest thing,” Hunter said Wednesday by way of…
