Does Detroit take losers lightly?
From DBB reader Brad in reaction to last night’s loss: We’re missing something. A championship level team mows these teams down with little to no effort (reference Boston.) We just don’t have it this year. Is he on to something? Have the Pistons reverted back to their ways of not giving…

Amir on starting over Antonio
Terry Foster of the Detroit News and Drew Sharp of the Detroit Free Press have each made a case recently for Amir Johnson to be given a chance to start. In my latest article from HOOPSWORLD, I asked Johnson what he thought about all of this: Some players might not know how to handle that kind of…

Jackson hedges again on Bynum return date
SALT LAKE CITY — It was nice to have some clarity on Andrew Bynum’s injury outlook Tuesday night … except the picture went fuzzy again by Wednesday afternoon. Bynum might, in fact, be back before the regular season ends — contrary to what Phil Jackson said in Dallas. When I…

Patience Paying Off
Are you liking the Shaq trade now?The Suns have strung together five straight wins and are showing the versatility we were hoping the trade would bring. Things started to turn in the loss to Utah. That loss really was the last straw because the bad defense hit bottom giving up 41 in the fourth…
