The Pistons are in DC
The game has already started — those 7pm tip-offs really throw me off — but here’s the belated game-thread. The Wizards don’t have Gilbert Arenas, but they’re still 15-14 on the year thanks to Caron Butler and Antawn Jamison stepping up their game. For some reason, the…

WE BELIEVE We OWN the Dallas Mavericks Fans and Media
It's been over half a year since the Golden State Warriors pulled off the biggest upset in NBA history by knocking off the Dallas Mavericks in the first round of the 2007 Playoffs, but everytime I think of the choke-job Mavericks, those soft, inaudible Mavs fans (seriously how could those…

Odom flagged, says no ill will
By CURTIS ZUPKE The Orange County Register EL SEGUNDO - Lamar Odom fancies himself a “Pee Wee legend” in his youth football days in New York. The open-field tackle he laid on Boston’s Ray Allen on Sunday could have been spliced into his old Pop Warner football highlights, but…

On making fun of Herrmann and sitting behind Mahorn

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…

Another problem with the Gordon 6th man experiment
It makes Chris Duhon a starter. He's 4-20 from the field in this era of good feelings, and in 31 minutes against Orlando he scored one point. It makes the times where he's out there with Ben Wallace seem self-defeating. And while we'd all like plenty of things to go different with Ben Wallace, he…
