Memorial Day Wrap: Wings take game two, Pistons even series

The Wings have mowed over and outplayed the Penguins in every facet of the game. So far, the series has been all Wings and the hockey gods in Gary Bettman’s office must not be very happy with their dream matchup right now. Last night’s 3-0 win showed that the Wings are serious, that they do [...]

Pistons fumble home court advantage in Game 3

Our on-again off-again Pistons once again unfortunately took the wrong night off. Maybe they were too interested in what was going on downtown, watching the Wings and Tigers. Or maybe they were getting ready for day two of Movement. Or maybe they’re just so used to showing up whenever they feel, that this is normal [...]

No Chauncey, no problem; Pistons defeat Magic

It was announced that Chauncey Billups would sit earlier in the day. When I heard, I had to admit some nervousness, not that the Magic would win the series, but that we’d be goig to six or seven games. That was fortunately not the case. Flip Saunders deserves some credit for getting the right matchups [...]

Chauncey down, Pistons lose to Magic

The highlight of last night Pistons’ game is the first quarter injury to Chauncey Billups, who aggravated a hamstring muscle and didn’t return. Let’s hope he’s back for game four. Personally, I don’t see the Pistons doing much or going far without Chauncey. The Magic ended up winning this one 111-86, even after a second [...]

Pistons win Magical Mystery Tour, Game 2

I’m not going to get into coverage of the game, check out freep.com or sports.yahoo.com/nba for that. Happy to see that the Stones won this won, especially when they started to fade in the third.

Wings sweep, Pistons clinch, Tigers say goodbye to House that Ruth Built

Does anyone else feel the pressure? From 8-10 last night, I was furiously flipping between FSN and TNT, trying to keep up on the Tigers and Pistons. For me, baseball is number four on my list of pro sports, right behind football and right above NASCAR. But this Tigers team is something else. The Tigers [...]

Pistons turn it on, take 3-2 series lead

The Pistons have officially flipped the switch, taking a 3-2 series lead last night. With the game being on NBA TV, I didn’t see it. Coverag talks about the Pistons turning things on and getting to business. My question is, how tired will they be by the time they actually finish this series? And how [...]

What’s up with the Pistons?

Even after the Game 1 debacle, few of us thought the Pistons would be down 2-1 to this upstart 76ers team. I thought the series might go six games because, face it fans, these Pistons are not quite known for their ‘Goin’ to work” ethic these days. Sheed has been terrible and the guards not [...]
