Open Game Thread #42: Bulls vs Charlotte Bobcats - Midseason Grades Edition!!!
Luol, Duh out. Gordon likely out. I have a bad feeling about this one. For one thing, the Bulls aren't good at playing basketball. Secondly...actually they're all just derivatives of the first thing. They won a game shorthanded, and I'm not liking the odds of winning two. But at the least…

Ron Artest … a Piston?
Ron Artest wouldn’t mind being a Piston? From the Freep: “I wouldn’t consider not playing here,” Artest said. “But right now I’m doing Sacramento. But it’s not something I’m opposed to, you know. That would be a hell of a first day if Ron Artest was in a Pistons’ jersey. That…

The Pistons are in Chicago
The Pistons are in Chicago tonight (8:30, TV20) looking to shake off last night’s loss to the Kings. But be warned: Chicago always seems to have the Pistons’ number in the regular season, even when they don’t have anyone else’s. Plus, when the Pistons drop a game, they tend…

Orlando finally beats Detroit
Okay, so Chauncey took a few liberties with the letter of the law with an extra step or two, but you have to admit that was a damn good shot. (Video via FanHouse.) I admit that as it left his fingertips I actually started shaking my head in disbelief that he settled for such a poor look, but in…

The Pistons are in Orlando …
… and I hate 7pm games. I’m a half hour late with this, and the Pistons are already leading 24-17 with two minutes and change left in the first quarter. I bet I’m not the only one who forgot to double-check the game time, so if you’re just tuning in now, do your thing in…

Pistons host suddenly healthy Kings
The Pistons host the Kings tonight (8pm, FSN), and I’m sure the story of the night in some circles will be the return of Ron Artest. Personally, I’m a little bored with that angle — he’s already been back here, remember? — but at least it’ll make for a lively…

Our New York Knickerbobblers
BOBBLE- (n.) A bad step away from the starting gate by a racehorse. Every game I watch this year feels like it is has the same pattern. The Knicks play terribly in the first quarter, then spend the next three quarters trying to recover. As they did with their 2-9 bobble to start the [...]

Final BoxscoreThe Twolves just won the Finals Oh. My. Gawd. If the Warriors miss out on the playoffs by one game, this will be one that everyone can point to and say if we had just won that game. It's one thing to lose against a below .500 team, it's another completely horrible thing to lose to…
