First half, big time stinko. So bad that the fact Aaron Gray played so much isn't the worst thing I've seen tonight. This may be one of those games where we just watch Derrick Rose and pick out some good from that. And assume everyone else will get traded eventually.

Options: Yes on Wright, Belinelli; No on Williams [SFGate] I'm a little surprised the Warriors picked up Belinelli's option, but not Williams. Is he that bad that the Warriors have more faith in Bellinelli than him? Also if this wasn't Chris Mullin's call then who pulled the trigger? It…

After getting a tip in the comments, I called WOW! to verify the good news: a customer rep just confirmed to me that they’ve hammered out an agreement with Fox Sports Detroit to show every Pistons game, beginning with Saturday’s contest against the Wizards, which had been in danger of…

This video already made its round across the Pistons blogosphere on Monday, but hey, it seemed appropriate for today. Enjoy the weekend, and be sure to come back tomorrow night for the rockin’ game thread. Also, be sure to check out MLive’s It’s Just Sports for an interview I…

Jason Maxiell spoke to reporters about his newly-signed contract after practice today. From Chris McCosky of the Detroit News: “No question it’s good to get it off my shoulders,” he said. “It’s one less thing I need to worry about. I can just get ready to play.”…

In my line of work, I talk to a lot of famous people. I don’t get starstruck, especially around guys younger than me, but I do enjoy it. For one, it’s just so interesting to have a conversation with a guy and see how his personality compares to the preconceived notion I may have already…

(Check out my A's to Celticsblog's Qs. Yes there's some Ben Gordon slurping. I'm sorry.) I will start off, of course, with lineup whining. Same starters as opening night, says Vinny. Not unexpected, but I really worry about opening tonight's game in a hole. The Celtics are a fantastic defensive…

'We can't throw too much at him because he's starting right now and playing a big role. With some of those bottom-of-the-barrel rookies, you can kind of take more advantage of them. Derrick Rose, slowly but surely when he finds his role, we'll have him doing some chores. Drew Gooden on…

The Bobcats waived forward Jermareo Davidson Monday, reducing the roster to 14 players. Davidson was originally drafted by Golden State in 2007 and traded to the Bobcats along with Jason Richardson in the draft-night deal for Brandan Wright. He averaged...

Looks like the Charlotte Bobcats won’t get a chance to claim veteran point guard Kevin Ollie off waivers. He made it through the Minnesota Timberwolves’ final cuts Thursday. The Bobcats contacted Ollie’s agent, Bill Neff, anticipating that Ollie might be...

Some thought between the end of the exhibitions and the start of the regular season: -- If Larry Brown runs Monday’s public practice like he does a typical practice, then you should definitely take a long lunch to check it...

Sure sounds like coach Larry Brown is leaning toward a lineup change that would make Sean May a reserve for Saturday’s home opener against the Miami Heat. Brown said at practice Friday he’s made no final decision, but he could...

Suns 103, Spurs 98I can't think of a single thing that could be more appropriate than starting the season off with a win against the Spurs. If I were to make a list of the stuff I wanted to happen tonight, "Suns winning." would be right at the top, just about "Amare gets 60 points and 30 rebounds."…

"I’m doing the game on TV for Euro Sport here and I hear someone is saying that they should’ve put Amare Stoudemire on this team instead of Tayshaun Prince. I mean, are you crazy? You want a prima donna instead of a team guy like Prince who only cares about winning? I mean, just shut up. You…

The way Clippers’ Baron Davis sees it, Sasha Vujacic is just a cog in the purple-and-gold “machine.” After getting drubbed by the Lakers, Davis borrowed Vujacic’s self-appointed nickname to describe the entire Lakers team. “That’s a machine and we’re trying…
