Vincent downplays record

Interesting back-and-forth today with coach Sam Vincent in the pregame media availability. I asked him what he thought of his team’s record (10-18 at that moment), relative to the schedule (the easiest third of the season). Vincent’s reply: "There’s been...

Cheikh Samb’s teeth are fine

At least, that’s what I gather after reading this from Krista Jahnke in the Freep: Rookie center Cheikh Samb, who had dental work last week to repair two knocked-out teeth, went through full contact at Thursday’s practice. He likely will be reassigned to the NBA Development…

Q&A: The Nugg Doctor

The Warriors might have lost to the Nuggets and didn't seem to have any answers for uber-scorers Allen Iverson and Carmelo Anthony, but that doesn't mean Friday's game at home at the Roaracle wasn't a fun one to watch as a hype fan and humble student of the game. Well don't worry the…

Gus Johnson replaces George Blaha … for one game

It seems there are fewer and fewer sports announcers I really dig these days, but Gus Johnson is definitely one of them. With that in mind, I got pretty excited to learn that for at least one night, he’ll be the voice of the Pistons, subbing for George Blaha, who will be attending his other…

Jarvis Hayes has food poisoning

From Chris McCosky’s blog: Jarvis Hayes was sent home from practice today. He was sick. The Pistons think it was food poisoning. What that could mean, though, is our first look at Walter Herrmann. He hasn’t put on a Pistons game uniform yet, since coming over from Charlotte. With the…

The Pistons are in New Jersey

About two years ago, there wasn’t another team in the NBA I despised more than the New Jersey Nets. Now? I’m almost completely indifferent, and I blame it on New Jersey’s mediocrity. Tonight, the Pistons travel to the Meadowl… um, I mean the “Izod Center,”…

Final BoxscoreToo much AI What a frustrating game. When you put up 120 points, you usually expect to win. But when the other team shoots 51% and goes to the line nearly 36 times, you're going to have a tough time winning. As Fitz seems to say too often, "This is the best that the (Insert Team…
