Jarvis out of the rotation
It’s been obvious for a while, but Flip Saunders essentially confirmed that Jarvis Hayes is the odd-man-out for the foreseeable future: “I don’t know,” Saunders said when asked about going back to Jarvis. “It depends on what we need. Our ability with Arron (Afflalo)…

It’s technique, not trash talk
From A. Sherrod Blakely: “Jason Maxiell is about as physical as any low-post defender in the league,” Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said. “He was able to use his strength and leverage to take Dwight out of position.” The key to Maxiell’s defensive success against Howard…

Orlando gets chippy (and chirpy)
From my FanHouse post on Saturday’s game: Things almost boiled over in the fourth when Rashard Lewis wrapped up Theo Ratliff under Detroit’s basket. Ratliff shook off the contact, but Lewis drew a technical, as well as an earful from Maxiell. “I wanted to make sure my…

Game 3: Pistons and Magic
That’s what Chauncey’s controversial three-pointer looked like from the stands. (Well, that’s what it would’ve looked like from the stands if you’d been boozing for the first three quarters — that’s pretty blurry.) Personally, I have to agree with A.…

Where do fans outside of Detroit go to watch Pistons games?
I don’t know the answer to that question, but if you do, I’m hoping you’ll tell us. I know there’s a group of readers in Portland who get together to watch games, and I’m hoping to help anyone else who’d like to meet up with fellow fans in other cities to do so.…

Pistons go up 2-0 on Magic
I have all sorts of stuff from last night’s game going up at FanHouse this morning. Before the game, Rashard Lewis told me that the brewing war of the words between he and Theo Ratliff was over and done with: “I’m a basketball player, I go out there to play basketball and not to…

Yesterday I tried to clarify the TV situation for Saturday’s Game 4 but all I ended up doing was causing more confusion. So disregard what I said before, here’s what you need to know: if you’re anywhere in Michigan, FSN Detroit (and FSN HD) will broadcast a pre-game show at 4:30…

Hornets Sting in the Full Court, Kill in the Half Court
First I want to address a pet peeve of mine. During Game 2 Reggie Miller said that the Hornets "can't win a slow down game" and the Spurs "can't win a speed up game". Now normally, I'd let that slide because Reggie Miller comes straight out of the…
