Some good things never last. The Detroit Pistons domination of the East, the team which starred in five straight Eastern Conference Finals appearances, including an NBA Championship Trophy in 2004, may now come to an end.
Why? All-Star point guard Chauncey Billups has opted out of his contract, leaving the Pistons with no starting fury from […]

I hate to discount the fact that the San Antonio Spurs are far a very better team than the Cleveland Cavaliers. Many experts claim that the Larry O’Brien is already in the Spurs bag. But I want to give Cleveland a chance.
I just want to mention this. The best thing that has ever happened […]

Everyone knew the ball would go to LeBron James 90% of the time. Everyone also knew that the Detroit Pistons would clamp on James, not allowing him to get easy baskets. But no one knew that a second-round draft pick Texas rookie would outshine everyone and make big shots.
Exactly just that transpired when the Cleveland […]

I know I said last May 21, that the Detroit Pistons will finish their series against the Cleveland Cavaliers in six. I was wrong. A new “Number 23” has surfaced and proved me otherwise. LeBron James is a man on a mission, pouring 48 points in a classic double-overtime win in Detroit.
James scored 29 points […]

Lesser and lesser people are watching the NBA playoffs right now. In fact, here in our area, nobody’s watching at all. Not even Spurs fans.
The fact is the NBA is getting boring and predictable. Right now, the Detroit Pistons and San Antonio Spurs are definitely going to meet in the NBA Finals. The Spurs are […]

It’s a good thing the Detroit Pistons are up 2-0 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. But how they won those two games at their home floor is a different story.
The Pistons had to rely on their experience and Cleveland’s lack there of to scrape two close wins. Two amazingly similar three-point wins. Detroit should feel […]

As much as I want the San Antonio Spurs to suffer and falter, I don’t see it happening against the less-experienced Utah Jazz.
San Antonio waltzed their way to a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference Finals. As long as Utah cannot stop San Antonio’s three-headed monster, they will continue to loss. After all, they never […]

It’s the first time the Cleveland Cavaliers will advance to the Eastern Conference Finals in 15 years. The last time they went here, Mark Price was still calling the shots in tight shorts and Craig Ehlo was guarding Michael Jordan, being “posterized” each time. This time, they will face the mighty Detroit Pistons.
All the advantages […]

I thought that the Detroit Pistons and the Cleveland Cavaliers would have arranged their Eastern Finals showdown a little earlier. Instead, we see the Chicago Bulls and the New Jersey Nets rising from a seemingly-deep grave in brilliant fashion, challenging their respective nemesis.
The Pistons were an impressive 7-0 to start the postseason. They won […]

All game long Bruce Bowen’s hands were on Steve Nash. And they weren’t called! Except one in the late seconds. I feel for Mike D’Antoni when he exclaimed, “Why are you calling it now?!”
Yes, Fred Donahue, why now? How much are the Spurs paying you? Attention Commissioner David Stern!!! Aren’t the calls supposed to go […]
