love him or hate him, it's undeniable that lance stephenson has got game.  just look at his handiwork right here.  sure, anthony tolliver is no tony allen but he's pretty athletic as well and lance just took him to the dance!  the shimmy is just icing on the cake.  and oh, the hornets won to stay in 7th place in the eastern conference.  

big ben = intense he's not gonna make them a championship contender, at least in my opinion. but it's a feel-good move by the detroit pistons to bring back big ben. mr. wallace hinted earlier this year that he might retire and that's what would have happened after the suns let him go after getting him from that shaq trade. anyway, i think the pistons is still a team to be reckoned with at least on paper. ben gordon: can score at will rip hamilton: can flat-out shoot the effin' lights out coming off picks charlie villanueva: kinda good tayshaun prince: he's unhappy like rip but maybe big ben's presence can rekindle that tay fire rodney stuckey: getting good but with gordon and hamilton in the backcourt, what would happen to him? ok, he's a pg and both rip and gordon play the 2 so this season could be a breakout year for him. p.s. at least it's gonna be nice hearing that "gong" sound at the palace again.

i don't know if this is still unknown to you. but yep, allen iverson of the detroit pistons is no longer sporting the cornrows. i wonder if this means he's now going to practice.

after the pistons were dispatched from the playoffs last season, gm joe dumars announced that everyone in the starting lineup is on the trading block. that bold statement is a wake-up call for the pistons to step up their game. with the emergence of the celtics and the cavs in the east, they can no longer play with the same attitude that they have in previous season when they could sleepwalk through three quarters of the game to come alive only when needed. dumars is telling his starters that they can do much more than what they have done last season. at least that's what i think. despite dumars' announcement that all starters are on the block, no trade was made until the start of this season. at that point, i thought that dumars is giving his squad one last chance to prove they can still pull the trigger. the contract extension given to rip hamilton only strengthened my belief that dumars will not trade any of his starting five... then came "the trade". on nov...

finally, andre iguodala got his game going in the playoffs this year. but his 21 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists were just not enough to beat the determined pistons who became the first team in their series to win back-to-back games. final tally of game 5 of the-best-of-seven series is 98-81. ai2 or iggy as iguodala is often called has had a bit of a slump entering the first four games of the series. but when he stepped up his game, his teammates got cold. frustrating eh? andre miller who has just been amazing in the first four games only finished with 13 points after missing nine in the first half. miller , iguodala , and sophomore louis williams were the only sixers to reach double figures with williams scoring 16 off the bench. chauncey billups led the second-seed pistons with 21 points and 12 assists. richard hamilton scored 20, rasheed came up with 19, and tayshaun prince with 17. game 6 will be in philadelphia and the sixers will be looking to take care of their h...

before the tip-off, a lot of people must have been saying that there is no way the 76ers would continue their stunning run into the playoffs especially against a team like the detroit pistons . the sixers proved though that they are for real (or at least for one playoff game) after defeating the pistons 90-86 in game 1. andre miller led the 76ers with 20 points while rasheed wallace led the pistons with 24 points. although the pistons are ready to take on the young 76ers team, they were inconsistent. that enabled the sixers to keep moving in for the kill, which eventually they did. with one win in michigan, the sixers may have had achieved one of their goals in the playoffs. predictions predictions... this series would be a roller coaster ride. if iguodala does not choke, look for the sixers to take this series.
