All those tattoos prepared him for this
Auburn Hills, Mich. -- So I was wrong guessing Larry Hughes was taking a handful of Advil and limping around out there for Game 5. I asked him about the foot this morning at shootaround at the lovely Palace of...

Doing things the hard way
Auburn Hills, Mich. -- The difference between the Cavs and the Pistons in this series so far is very thin. But there's no doubt Detroit has more moxie. They play with more poise and confidence and they are a more...

Witness to history
Auburn Hills, Mich. -- What can I say about Game 6? I pretty much used up all my adjectives in the paper. I tried my best to put it in perspective in everything LeBron James has done in his career...

C-Webb isn’t happy with Flip’s speech-making abilities
Should the Pistons re-sign Chris Webber this summer? Hell, would Chris Webber even want to return? The guy was on the bench during most of the clutch moments of the playoffs, and he didn’t always look like a happy camper. To his credit, though, he never said one word about it to the media,…
