Blakely: Rasheed refused to join huddle
Rasheed Wallace finally spoke to the press today, though he didn’t get into details about why he left the arena so quickly after Saturday’s loss. From A. Sherrod Blakely of Booth Newspapers: “Just a lot of different (bleep),” he said. “I’m not going to mention…

On Boston’s (over)reaction
It’s been a couple of days, but it’s still a topic of conversation among fans: did Boston celebrate a bit too much following their win against the Pistons? It seemed that way to those who watched the end of the game unfold. From Chris Sheridan’s game recap for ESPN: Quite a scene…

Arron Afflalo works harder than you
What time did you get to work today? Nine o’clock? Chances are Arron Afflalo had you beat by an hour and a half. From Joanne Gerstner of the Detroit News: He gets up at 6:30 a.m., something he’s done since arriving at Pistons training camp early last fall. By 7:30 a.m., he’s at…

Pistons-Celtics, Round II
Tonight’s match with the Celtics isn’t a playoff game, but judging how the first game went down, I won’t be surprised if it feels like one. I’ll be at the game for HOOPSWORLD with pre-game, halftime and post-game posts. As usual, leave your thoughts about the game in the…

Pistons visit Toronto
I kind of feel bad for the Raptors. Last year they were scrappy division champs, perhaps the only bright spot in an otherwise bleak Atlantic Division. With a legitimate All-Star in Chris Bosh surrounded by a solid nucleus featuring the likes of T.J. Ford, Jose Calderon, Jorge Garbajosa, and…

The story behind the streak
The Pistons have been playing excellent basketball for quite awhile now, but there’s something about nice, round numbers that makes other people take notice. In my latest from HOOPSWORLD, I take a look at the Pistons’ current 10-game winning streak: Joe Dumars and Flip Saunders made it…

Joe Dumars looks back, plans ahead
If you haven’t already, be sure to check out A. Sherrod Blakely’s piece for Booth Newspapers about the first 100 days of the season since the start of training camp for the Pistons. He obviously spent a lot of time with Joe Dumars, as the whole thing is littered with some really…

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…

Politics and Basketball: Why Chauncey Billups Should Win the Eastern Conference All Star Candidacy
Like Kevin Sawyer before him, Mike Payne is making the jump from frequent DBB commenter to occasional DBB guest writer. And, also like Kevin, he’s stumping for Chauncey Billups to receive your All-Star vote. It’s a good thing, because Chauncey needs your votes: at last check, he was…

The Pistons are at the Garden
I’m a little too young to remember the 1984 playoffs (let alone the fact that the Pistons’ bench used to be called the “A Team”), but that’s what YouTube is for. The Pistons are at the Garden, and the ball just tipped. As usual, leave your thoughts in the comments.…

The Golden State Warriors beat the Memphis Grizzlies for the second time this year, 116 to 104. They took what was supposed to be an easy win and did it convincingly with the help of two stars, Baron Davis and Monta Ellis. However, they did have some pretty good competition from Pau Gasol to…
