By Greg Eno(noreply@blogger.com) The Detroit Pistons and the NBA took center court, if you will, last night on "The Knee Jerks", my weekly sports gabfest with Big Al from The Wayne Fontes Experience. That's because our guest was A. Sherrod Blakely, who is the Pistons beat writer for MLive.com. Sherrod gave us his insights on the Pistons and the league, from his vantage point as a training camp observer and beat writer. We covered the gamut, from new acquisitions like Ben Gordon, Charlie Villanueva and draft pick Austin Daye, to returning veterans like Rip Hamilton, Tayshaun Prince, and oldie but goodie Ben Wallace. Next week's guest: the always colorful Bob Page, retired (in theory) broadcaster of Detroit and New York.   [read the full post]

By Greg Eno(noreply@blogger.com) Hamilton went into mourning and soaked himself in grief after the Pistons traded longtime teammate and friend Chauncey Billups to Denver for one Allen Iverson. Then Rip got hurt. Then he didn't want to be the sixth man. Then he openly and brazenly challenged rookie head coach Mike Curry. Rip Hamilton fussed and kicked and screamed and it was hardly what a new coach like Curry needed---heaped on top of the Iverson debacle and the degradation in skills and attitude of Rasheed Wallace. The Pistons could use one, you know. Hamilton (left) and newcomer Ben Gordon pose at Media Day Kwame Brown? Chris Wilcox?   [read the full post]

By Greg Eno(noreply@blogger.com) Isiah would, in time, combine with Vinnie Johnson and Joe Dumars to form perhaps the greatest guard trio to ever play for the same NBA team at the same time. That fantasy says that today's Pistons can recreate that guard trio magic through the talents of Rodney Stuckey, Richard "Rip" Hamilton, and newly-signed Ben Gordon. Ha! Last season, Hamilton was blinded with grief. Hamilton, even though he lost his starting role briefly to Iverson due to the emergence of Stuckey at point guard, nonetheless could have been Mr. Piston with Mr. Big Shot traded away to Denver. Tayshaun Prince? Too quiet. Rasheed Wallace? Too noisy.   [read the full post]

By David Friedman The Chicago announcers claimed that the Bulls played with energy but if that is the case then I'd hate to see what this team looks like when it does not play with energy; the rebounding, turnovers and general lack of aggressiveness (as suggested by the paucity of free throw attempts) all speak to mental and physical lethargy. Ben Wallace did not have a single rebound in the first half and he ended up with two points, five rebounds, four assists and two blocked shots. Ben Gordon scored eight points on 3-9 shooting. Although the game was close most of the way, I doubt that any seasoned NBA viewer who watched this contest really believed that the Bulls were going to win; the Bulls' play just lacked direction, purpose--"oomph," for lack of a better t...   [read the full post]
