Splitting Up (?)
by Keith Langlois

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. – Chauncey Billups wants to be back. So does Antonio McDyess. Ditto for Flip Murray. And maybe even for Dale Davis.
The Pistons cleaned out their lockers on Monday – well, all but Rip Hamilton and Chris Webber, who didn’t show for the usual day-after meeting, which is informal and not mandatory – but won’t so easily leave another near-miss season behind them after the upstart Cleveland Cavaliers advance to the NBA Finals by overcoming a 2-0 deficit to sweep four straight games. Here are the list of some Pistons' players option for next season.

1.Chauncey Billups-can opt out of the final year of his contract.

2.Antonio Mcdyess-Antonio McDyess, like Billups, can opt out of the final year of his contract. Chances are McDyess will return to the Pistons

3.Flip Murray-Murray, who signed a two-year contract last summer with a player option for the second year, said he is intent on returning to the Pistons next season despite falling out of the rotation in January.

4.Dale Davis-Davis, a 16-year veteran who signed with the Pistons two summers ago, had indicated he would seriously ponder retirement, but Monday said he would “probably, more than likely, definitely play. I still feel like I can help contribute to this game and help a team win. I’m still short of that goal of winning a championship, as well. I look to be back in action.”

5.Sheed-Rumors that he might be an KNICKS next year.

*There isn't any talk about what would and could happen to the other Pistons' players yet, but Reporters say that Flip Saunders will be back next season.

Season Over For The Pistons

2007-06-05T21:43:00.000-07:00

I haven't have much time to post lately, so here is part of an article from Ryan Pretzer, title, Over and Out.

The Cavs beat the Pistons for the fourth straight game Saturday night, 98-82, becoming the third team ever – and the first since the 1993 Chicago Bulls – to win the conference finals after falling in an 0-2 hole.

The Pistons played well enough to keep it close for three quarters before being outscored 31-16 in the final 12 minutes. The Pistons' season was undone not by LeBron James but rookie Daniel Gibson, who had his own statement game Saturday.

San Antonio Spurs vs. Detroit Pistons

2007-06-01T18:35:00.000-07:00

Everybody knows now that the Cleveland Cavaliers are in the lead in the Eastern Conference with 3-2. But for all the believers out there. It is not over until the fat lady sings, and let me just tell you she haven't yet. The Detroit Pistons will make it to the 2007 NBA Conference to play and win agianst the San Antonio Spurs(Pistons fans you just have to believe).

James’ 48 tops Pistons’ best effort
We Haven’t Seen This Before
by Ryan Pretzer

The 2007 Eastern Conference finals had been considered a pretty mundane exhibition in playoff basketball up until Thursday night. Close scores, but not a lot of offense. Players from both sides made as many poor choices down the stretch as clutch plays. It was four games of good basketball, not great.
That changed two minutes shy of midnight Friday, when LeBron James capped one of the most memorable NBA playoff performances ever. And the Pistons, who did everything else for 58 minutes, couldn’t stop him.

Over the course of the fourth quarter and two overtimes, James scored 29 of Cleveland’s final 30 points. James’ layup with 2.2 seconds remaining (perhaps his easiest bucket of the night) capped a Herculean, 48-point effort – and the Cavaliers’ 109-107 double-overtime victory in Game 5. It is the most points scored by a Pistons opponent at home, topping Elgin Baylor’s 47 points 46 years ago.

For the second year in a row, the Pistons find themselves facing a 3-2 series deficit against Cleveland after winning the first two games at The Palace. But Thursday night was not about the Pistons’ desire or focus or execution, because it was all there.

At the end of regulation and the game tied at 91, the Pistons had more rebounds (38-33), more assists (18-12), more points in the paint (38-30) and more second-chance points (17-14). The Pistons also won the turnover battle, 10 to Cleveland’s 11, and only one had been committed by the much-maligned Chauncey Billups.

It was vintage playoff Billups Thursday. Trailing by one with 22.9 seconds left, Billups didn’t hesitate, knocking down a 3-pointer that gave the Pistons a 91-89 lead. Then James sent the game to overtime with a dunk.

There Billups was again at the end of the first overtime, making two free throws with 3.1 seconds left to force a second overtime. Billups had 21 points, seven rebounds and four assists – but not the winning basket, which rolled around the rim and off as the second overtime expired.

It’s hard to believe James’ exploits were put in early jeopardy when he received a technical foul for charging after Pistons forward Antonio McDyess, who was ejected for a flagrant-2 foul on Anderson Varejao in the final minute of the first quarter.

Chris Webber – coming off a two-point, three-rebound no-show in Game 4 – came through when his team needed him most, playing 30 minutes after McDyess’ ejection. No Piston has benefited from McDyess more than Webber, who has virtually shared the starting center minutes in this series.

Webber scored 11 of his 20 in the first half, including seven straight to help the Pistons take a 39-35 lead. Then on weary legs in the second overtime, buried his shoulder into Cavs center Zydrunas Ilgauskas to draw a foul and flipped a turnaround jumper. Webber’s three-point play gave the Pistons a 107-104 lead with 1:28 remaining, and the Pistons again had victory within sight – before James hit a 3-pointer on the next possession.

The Pistons even had their first halftime lead in the series, 52-51. The second half in Game 5 went just how it did in the first four games – with momentum moving fiercely in one direction or the other, and never staying put for long. Richard Hamilton scored eight of the Pistons’ 10 unanswered points during such a fourth-quarter run, which put the Pistons in control, 88-81, with 3:15 remaining. The Pistons then committed three straight turnovers, and James made sure this game reached the conclusion of his choosing.

Hamilton scored a team-high 26 points and made all 12 of his free throws. He is now the second Pistons player – along with Isiah Thomas – to score 2,000 postseason points. Hamilton has 2,017 points – and a chance to add to it Saturday in Game 6 at Quicken Loans Arena.

Game Delay

2007-03-24T21:51:00.000-07:00

Due to the exclusive broadcast rights of the NBA on ABC, no other teams can air their games (locally or nationally) when ABC is broadcasting a national game. At 3:30 p.m. on March 25, ABC will airing the Phoenix Suns vs. Sacramento Kings game.
Therefore, the 3:30 p.m. Detroit Pistons vs. Milwaukee Bucks game cannot be aired at its normal game time. Instead, the game will be taped delayed and shown in its entirety on MyTV20 Detroit at 7:00 p.m. in Detroit.

Despite the television tape delay, the Pistons vs. Bucks game will still be heard on 1130AM WDFN at the normal 3:30 p.m. game time(nba.com)

L(89-90)

2007-03-23T20:53:00.000-07:00

The pistons lost again tonight to the San Antonio Spurs. For those of you who didn't watch this game, you didn't miss much. Tim Duncan made 17 points and 14 rebounds tonight, as for the Pistons's Rasheed Wallace receive his 18th tech so he will be out for the game on Sunday--Pistons vs. Bucks. Also coach Flip Saunders (and I think Chauncey Billups) received Technical fouls. Before halftime we were able to lead by two; after that it was just horrible: a lot of miss free throws AND fouls were given. I'm so mad I can't even post no more right now.

JUST A TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not Getting It Done

2007-03-23T20:25:00.000-07:00

Even with Chauncey Billups back in the lineup, didn't make a difference in last night lost against the Houston Rockets(91-85). After coming back from a left groin injury, Chauncey still seem to be dealing with a promblem--trying to get his team to win against, Tracy Mcgrady and the rest of his team. The first quarter wasn't looking up for the Detroit Pistons with 0-10 then from 2-16. "The Rockets swarmed the Pistons to start both halves, kept them off-balance offensively until the fourth quarter and took advantage of a lopsided foul-shooting advantage", says Keith Langlois--a writer for the Detroit Pistons. Antonio Mcdyess lead the Pistons with 16 points with help from Rasheed Wallace with 9 rebound, Tayshaun Prince 2 blocks, and Chauncey Billups 6 points. Yao Ming lead his team with 27 points, with help from his teammates. But I would say that Yao Ming could have played this game all by himself, because he is so tall;the basket seem to be right their for him and everytime he would attempt a shot it actually went in.

Detroit Pistons Wins Again

2007-03-11T19:35:00.000-07:00

Detroit Pistons 98, Los Angeles 80
LOS ANGELES, March 11, 2007 (AP) -- Rasheed Wallace's latest suspension came at a perfect time for the Los Angeles Clippers. They just weren't able to take advantage because the rest of the Detroit Pistons were too much to handle.

Richard Hamilton scored 15 of his 23 points in the first quarter, sparking the Pistons to a 98-80 victory Sunday. The All-Star shooting guard made his first eight shots and was 10-for-12 from the field overall, helping the Eastern Conference leaders beat the Clippers for the ninth straight time and 18th in the last 22 meetings.

"The last time Rasheed was out, I think I shot the ball three times, Chauncey (Billups) shot it four times, and we didn't play our type of game,'' Hamilton said. "But today we just wanted to do what we do best.''

Wallace was suspended without pay for receiving his 16th technical foul of the season.Second-year forward Jason Maxiell started in Wallace's place. He scored nine points, blocked four shots and had two steals in 35-plus minutes. The Pistons forced 20 turnovers, converting them into 30 points. Elton Brand and Chris Kaman each had five turnovers.(nba.com)

Are You A Pistons's Fan

2007-02-19T10:55:00.000-08:00

I decided to do something a little different, where I interview a Detroit Pistons fan, to see how big of a fan they are, So I caught up with Natalie from Need4Sheed.com to see how big of a fan she is.

Q: How long have you been a Pistons fan?
A: I have been a fan for about 25 years now.

Q: Why do you love the pistons so much?
A: I love the game of basketball, I enjoy watching it and The Pistons are my team. I will always love my hometown team, in good times and bad. It's as simple as that.

Q: What made you create a website about the Pistons?
A: I really didn't go about starting a website. I actually made the site so I could distribute my Pistons screensavers and wallpapers to friends and it just snowballed from there.

Q: How long have you had this website?
A: It's been about a year and five months.

Q: Have you met any Pistons player personally?
A: I am not the type of person that goes out of there way to meet a player. I believe that they need their privacy and I don't like to bother them if I happen to run into them somewhere. But I have met a few.
Isiah Thomas

John Salley

Rick Mahorn

Grant Hill

Rasheed Wallace

Q: If so, what did you say to him or wanted to say?
A: I didn't say much, just hello. Sometimes I told them I really appreciated what they did for the team.
As for Grant Hill, I had quite a few conversations with him when he was a rookie for the Pistons. I told him places to go in Michigan since he was new here.

Q: What made you create the Need4Sheed store?
A: I really liked the cartoon Pistons I created and wanted a T-Shirt myself so that's why I made a store, so I could have my own shirt.

Q: If you could be the Pistons coach for a day, what are some of the things you would say to the players, or have them do?
A: I don’t think I could coach the team. If I was thrown into the situation I would probably tell them to do what they normally do because I wouldn’t want to mess things up.

Q: If someone was to come up to you and say the Pistons sucks, what would you say or do?
A: People do it all the time, it’s a constant battle. I always have something to say to stick up for my Pistons.

Q: Why is Rasheed Wallace your favorite player?
A: I like Rasheed’s personality and the fire he has when he’s playing. I also like the fact that he can dominate on the court whenever he wants. He’s a great player and he’s fun to watch, you never know what he’s going to say or do.

Q: If you could be an Pistons player for a day, who would you be? Why?
A: I would have to say Joe Dumars, he is my all time favorite player. Joe was a quiet leader with great skills and a workman like attitude. I respect him for who he was as a player and who he is now.

Thanks Ashley,

Although I wouldn’t say I am the Pistons #1 fan, it’s hard to think of what I would do without them.

Best,
Natalie

It's Just Not Right, Sometimes

2007-02-10T20:53:00.000-08:00

Even though the Detroit Pistons won tonight against the Toronto raptors, I'm still not happy about the whole Technical situation that was given to Sheed by Courtney Kirkland(ref). "Talking to Joe (Dumars), we’ll probably petition that one,” Saunders said of the technical on Wallace. “I think there is a double standard because of Rasheed’s reputation. He reacts; other people react, he always seems to get nabbed. When he gets like that, he can become almost unstoppable. It’s not what he did scoring 28 points. I thought it was the job he did defensively on (Chris) Bosh that was even more impressive than what he did offensively.”(six-pack, by Keith Langlois). I hope that all of that ends well to the Pistons favor. Like former Pistons player Mike James says, "I can't do nothing right by being wrong" Even though I think the Technical wasn't right, I still believe it help the Pistons, especially Sheed, lead the team with 28 points, 7 rebounds, and 1 assist. Follow by teammates Richard Hamilton 21 points, 4 rebounds, Chauncey Billups 14 points, 5 rebounds, Lindsey Hunter 12 points, and 3 rebounds and Chris Webber 8 points, and 7 rebounds. Antonio Mcdyess didn't play as much as he use to because of his ribs, but when he did come out there he did what he was suppose to do. When he was on the bench he wore a bandage wrap around his ribs. We are now 31-18, I hope we can keep this winning streak up before the All-Star break we only have 2 more games before then.

" I kind of got a bruise, he said, "and it wasn' that bad, but it never went away. The pain never went away." When ask about whether or not he will sit out a few game he replied, "Nah, I rather play. I've played through it. It ain't that bad. When it gets bad enough where I can't play, then I will sit. but now it's just a little bit of pain. When i turn it kind of hurts, but then I'm okay."(Title:McDyess nursing sore ribs,Date:February 9, 2007, By: Krista Jahnke).

The Detroit Pistons Did It Again

2007-02-07T07:37:00.000-08:00

The Detroit Pistons won against the Boston Celtics last night That's a good thing for Detroit, but not for Boston, last night marked their 15th losing streak. On this unremarkable night not only did Chauncey lead the team with 24 points, but he made history for his 3 pointer ever made, with the Pistons(700). The only two pistons to ever do this was Lindsey Hunter(757) and Joe Dumars(900).Antonio Mcdyess helped lead the team with 18 points, the second higest scorer in the game follow by Richard Hamilton double-doubles and player of the game, Chris Webber.

Super Bowl Sunday

2007-02-05T21:12:00.000-08:00

The Detroit Pistons battle against the Cleveland Cavailers yesterday, in the first half of the game, then later they trail away with a 10 point lead. Chauncey Billups lead the team in Double-doubles, adding with Chris Webber 15 points and 6 rebounds. Dice is also just unbelievable.

*The Indianapolis Colts won the SUPERBOWL against the Chicago Bears. I am so happy for Tony Dungy and his team. Especially, because their last year was like the pistons(Best team in the division, but lost all of it at the end). Maybe this year we could have the same ending as the Colts.

Is Rasheed Wallace Having A Bad Influence On His Teammates?

2007-02-04T09:39:00.000-08:00

"Not so McNice? Saunders joked Saturday that maybe Rasheed Wallace was having a bad influence on Antonio McDyess. McDyess picked up two technical fouls Friday and was ejected.Dyess was saying that the refs were mad at 'Sheed and taking it out on him, Saunders said.The two technical fouls that referee Derek Richardson called on McDyess were on the touchy side. McDyess was laughing about it on Saturday."(DetroitNews)

Note: Dale Davis wasn't on the active roster on Friday in the game against Milwaukee Buck, because he didn't come to practice that day,he said he was mad at the fact that Chris Webber was taking away his playing time. Is expected to play today against the Cleveland Cavailers.

Started Out A Little Rough, But Ended Up Right

2007-02-02T22:44:00.000-08:00

The Detroit Pistons played tonight in their home town against the Milwuakee Bucks. The Pistons at first, struggle all the way towards the end of the 2nd quarter, but after halftime they were able to take control of things. Player of the Game was Chauncey Billups: 20 points, 8 Assists, 8-8 free throws, but although Chauncey was player of the game, we wouldn't have won this game if we didn't have Jason Maxiell(did 3 sick dunks in this game), Nazr Mohammed, and Chris Webber come in. Both Antonio Mcdyess and Rasheed Wallace received technical fouls, Mcdyess(2),was ejected.

Bucks vs. Pistons

Did You Know?

2007-02-02T06:11:00.000-08:00

Do you know, how the Piston's PG Flip Murray got his nickname "Flip"?, well he got it because when he was younger he use to be a gymnist(doing lots of flips).

Flip is Not Going Anywhere

2007-02-01T17:52:00.001-08:00

Well I don't know about Flip Murray, but Flip Saunders is not going anywhere. The University of Minnesota is not on Flip Saunders mind. Rumors is(was) that Flip was going to coach for the Minnesota basketball team at the University of Minnesota, but coach Flip Saunders says, " I already have a great job". But he does also say that his dream was to coach for the University of Minnesota. MAYBE ONE DAY FLIP BUT JUST NOT NOW.

All-Star Reserves

I Thought We Won This Game!!!!

2007-02-01T17:27:00.000-08:00

Finally, we are playing like we should. The Detroit Piston beated the New Jersey last night, not only did they set a franchise records for their free throws(27);we played darn good. Antonio Mcdyess: 12 points, Rasheed Wallace had 6 rebounds, 4 assist, 0 points, but that's okay. Everyone did good last night from, Rip, Chauncey, Delfino, Maxiell, Nazr, Lindsey, and Flip Murray. I am so happy right now I hope we continue to play like we are.

3.supposely call himself a 3-pointer shooter(Richard Hamilton)
4.Sheed

Were was all of these players at last night, aren't they mad at the Wizards for beating them on Friday and taking THEIR #1 SPOT in the eastern conference. Billups had 24 points, follow by sheed 15 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assist, and 2 blocks. The only Pistons player I'm not mad with is Antonio Mcdyess he was knocking all of his shots in, beside the 2 layups and 1 turnover that he gave up and we needed. Other than that mistake I am still proud of him. But this TEAM cannot win just by one person doing all the work, everyone needs to contribute. You would also think that the pistons would have won because of what happen to Antwain Jamison.(injured his knee AGAIN, collied with one of his teammates). Gilbert Areanas had 36 points, 7 rebounds, and 11 assists. We made a lot of mistakes in this game and we just played sloppy all night. Their were lots and lots of turnovers(16) and fouls, I really think we could have won if we had just stop fouling. Q: Why didn't flip Saunders call other players into the game, when he saw that the other players wasn't getting it done? I just hope we win tonight against the New Jersey Nets

POOR BEN

I feel so sorry for Ben Wallace, it seem like ever since he's been in Chicago something bad had happen. 1st, the headband thing. 2nd, not getting enough credit. 3rd, his knee. We don't need to suga coat anything here, we all know ben isn't getting enough credit in chicago. When he was in Detroit all you ever heard about was ben this, ben that. But now that he's in Chicago, it's a different story. But hey, no need for him to complain he is getting $60 MILLION. I'm not trying to pick on ben or anything, because I love him and I just wanted you all to know that.Oh yeah, Doesn't this sounds like the Allen Iverson situation.

Do You Think?

Hey, I just had to talk to you guys about this situation for a minute. Doesn't it seems like the Denver Nuggets has been losing more game with Allen Iverson and the Philadephia 76ers has been winning more since Allen left.

Down 1 and a Half

2007-01-29T07:16:00.000-08:00

The Detroit Pistons are down by 1 1/2 in the Eastern Conference.The Wizards defeated the Detroit Pistons on Friday and then turned around and defeated the Celtics yesterday,which made them take the lead in the East, but that's okay we won last night against the Pacers 95-86. Chris Webber had 17 points, 13 rebounds, follow by Richard Hamilton 21 points, Rasheed Wallace 20 points, and Antonio Mcdyess 13 points, he is doing so well. Also, I'm not going to foget TEAMWORK was also a big part of why we won. We made a few mistakes but we WON that's all that matter.If we keep winning games and hopefully, if the Wizards started losing some we will have our spot back, but as we all know rankings isn't everything it's about who takes that tropy home.
