Detroit had felt a little disrespected--ok, a LOT disrespected. Here were the Philadelphia 76ers, who not only were not even thinking playoffs just three months ago, now up 2-1 on the Pistons and holding a double digit lead at...

Yep, they were favored in double digits. Yep, they had a 15 point lead in the third quarter. Yep, they lost. Wait--what? The Detroit Pistons, who haven't finished the season in anything less than the Eastern Conference Finals for...

Ok, so you look at the situation on paper and it seems pretty clear: The Detroit Pistons were without Richard Hamilton and Juan Dixon, and the rookies or role players that were on the team have not done too...

Theo Ratliff has been in a bunch of big trades and transactions. The problem is, he hasn't been the big name in any of them. With deals that brought Kevin Garnett to Boston, Rasheed Wallace to Detroit, Dikembe Mutumbo...

Ok, so that was a little corny for an opening line. But, hey, you're here, so...stay a while! After the media darling Portland Trail Blazers had won 13 in a row and finally had the streak snapped by the Utah...

Ok, I know this is from last year...but it's still hilarious. Check it out: Sheed...dude...I love the exuberance, but PLEASE! (Gotta love the remix portion, right?) Of course, I know the Pistons are probably dancing around like this today after...

Just a day after Lebron James and the Cavaliers took down the then once-defeated Celtics, they were embarrassed by the Detroit Pistons 109-74 behind Rip Hamilton's 18. Now, keep in mind that King James sprained his finger in the 2nd...

It's not as if the Jazz have been playing bad ball, but still, with Deron Williams nursing a toe injury, many thought that perhaps they were a little under their potential--and they were right. Williams came back from the injury...

Well, let's see...when was the last time the Pistons were NOT in the Eastern Conference finals...yes, that would be correct, almost since 9/11, before the Red Sox won the World Series, before Barry Bonds began juicing...ok, maybe not. Anyways...it's safe...

Amidst all of these bad publicity scandals the NBA has had to endure, a city known for its "Bad Boyz" now has a shining star that has gone public--about his love for the city of Detroit. Chauncey Billups, who recently...

Billups to the Bucks? I wouldn't hold my breath. Since Tim is handling the Draft preview, I figure I'd take a look at some of the rumors making the rounds. According to the Milwaukee Journal Times (scroll down a...

Flip doing some of his expert "coaching" Today in Detroit, Joe Dumars had his annual end of the season press conference and announced, to no one's surprise, that Flip Saunders will be sticking around another season to lead the...

We all knew that Lebron James was the next. We just didn't know when. "The Next" may be right now, after Lebron virtually willed the Cavaliers to victory over the Pistons in double overtime in Motown to take a 3-2...

Ok,ok, so I was wrong about the Cavs....and the Jazz...it won't be the first time, or the last time, even probably today. Heck, in the next hour even. I watched the entire second half of the Cavs-Pistons game, and sat...

Well, maybe the label shouldn't be "underdogs"--for game 3 anyways. Utah and Cleveland both made their series 2-1 by posting home victories. While Cleveland's was a little more dramatic as Lebron James scoffed at critics who claimed he couldn't hit...

Ok, many people criticized Michael Jordan for being someone who was a shoot-first player, and then several people have stated that Lebron James is the second coming of Jordan. So that sound you heard on Monday night was the consensual...

We have had a season of so many ups and downs and all-arounds that I can't keep up. From the breakthrough performers to the mainstay stars of the league, the NBA once again has proven that nothing is inevitable--and the...

Just when it looked like the Pistons were the dominant team in the East, along comes the King. Lebron James, that is. While they haven't beat up the Nets like the Pistons have beat up on the Bulls, the Cavaliers...

The Bulls thought they were big and bad. Andres Nocioni even stated that he felt they would advance into the next round. The Detroit Pistons probably haven't laughed that hard in a while... After spanking Chicago for the second time...

Yaaaaawwwwwwn. Hey look, the Pistons won against the Magic again. Siiiiiiiiiiiigh. *Stretch* Amidst the balanced scoring of Rasheed Wallace, Chauncey Billups, and Richard Hamilton, perhaps the biggest surprise for Detroit was being lead by Tayshaun Prince with 23 points in...

Usually, the #1 seed versus an #8 seed is a no-brainer. Generally, it encompasses a team that has dominated their conference and one that has snuck in at the last minute and avoided ping-pong ball hell in the lottery in...
