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) It didn’t take Dumars long to realize that he didn’t have a prayer of keeping Grant Hill in a Pistons uniform. The Pistons got rooked. And this big guy, Ben Wallace? Ben Wallace?! Chucky Atkins?! The fans in Detroit came to worship and adore Ben Wallace, just as they embraced the unwanted Dave Bing 34 years prior. That was the rallying cry as Wallace and, eventually, reinforcements that Dumars assembled in the names of Chauncey Billups, Rip Hamilton, and Rasheed Wallace joined the fray. The unwanted Wallace and his new cast of characters went all the way to the NBA Finals in 2004 and upset the vaunted Los Angeles Lakers. The next year, the Pistons almost repeated, losing in seven angry games to the San Antonio Spurs.   [read the full post]

By Greg Eno(noreply@blogger.com) Rasheed Wallace won't be contributing to the Pistons' cause anymore. He's gone, off to the hated Boston Celtics. Wallace has been AWOL from the Pistons for too long now. His signing with the Celtics just makes it official, is all. Wallace was particularly missing last season, when the Pistons could have really used his participation in the wake of the Chauncey Billups/Allen Iverson swap and the Rip Hamilton pouting jag and eventual injury. The Celtics, in fact, are a much better team than even the 2004 squad that Wallace joined in Detroit. I, for one, won't miss Rasheed Wallace. Once, he was the fire and brimstone that the Pistons needed to win a title. That was then. In Detroit, he was just missing.   [read the full post]

By Greg Eno(noreply@blogger.com) Dumars, the Pistons' president and GM, drew Blackjack in 2004, when his team upset the vaunted Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals. A year later, his card total was 22, as his Pistons lost to the San Antonio Spurs in seven hellish games. When Dumars took over in 2000, he was hit immediately with the Grant Hill defection. But Joe D took those lemons and made a big, refreshing pitcher of lemonade, vis a vis the Ben Wallace acquisition. He added Hamilton and Billups in short order, rooking the other teams in both trades. He acquired Rasheed Wallace for a pair of sneakers and a warm bucket of spit in 2004 -- a move that elevated the Pistons to title contenders.   [read the full post]

By noreply@blogger.com (Greg Eno) Curry lost, for the Pistons, yesterday's nationally-televised game against the Miami Heat at The Palace. At the very least, he robbed the Pistons a chance to win it. Practically the same thing. The Heat were down most of the game, but that's not a concern anymore when you play the Pistons in Auburn Hills. It once used to be a frightening place to play for visiting teams. Now, it's more scary for the Pistons, truth be told. No one said it would be easy for Curry, a rookie head coach with just one year of assistant coaching experience under his belt. No one could have foreseen the trade of Chauncey Billups for Allen Iverson, nor the myriad of injuries to Pistons players who normally don't miss a lot of playing time.   [read the full post]

By noreply@blogger.com (Greg Eno) Eno: I suppose. I hate to keep bitching about them every week at TKJ, but darn it, it's hard to ignore. Some national scribes are murmuring that the players have lost confidence in rookie coach Curry. Supposedly, some players are convinced that President Joe Dumars is telling Curry who to play. Other media folks hint at trades looming. And the Denver Nuggets are sailing along with their new point guard, Chauncey Billups. How much of this is Curry's fault, how much is it the players', and how much is it Dumars' ? Eno: Well, I don’t know how wise I am, but I think this just proves that Dumars ought to tear the thing apart and start anew. There are a ton of great free agents available in summer 2010. I say just patch a team together until then. Throw the bums out,...   [read the full post]

By noreply@blogger.com (Greg Eno) Again, blame Dumars, the Pistons president. It was Dumars, after all, who brought in Michael Curry, with just one year of coaching under his belt (as an assistant), to coach this odd and sometimes maddening bunch. And it was Dumars who upset Curry's apple cart by trading Chauncey Billups for Allen Iverson, barely a week into the season. And it was Dumars who let ball-hawking defender Lindsey Hunter walk away, when on-ball defense has been a problem at times. Dumars has put Curry in a tough situation, made even tougher by the seemingly endless period of getting used to Iverson, and the emergence of Rodney Stuckey as a bonafide starting point guard.   [read the full post]

By noreply@blogger.com (Greg Eno) Chauncey Billups? Not so sure. Billups was reduced to nothing more than a journeyman when the Pistons rescued him from Minnesota in 2001. Pistons President Joe Dumars, in an amazing display of clairvoyance, saw in Billups what the menagerie of teams prior to Detroit didn't: a starting point guard who could be entrusted with running a team without fear of being yanked at the first hint of trouble. The Nuggets, by the way, were one of those teams who had a crack at Chauncey as he made his way through the NBA. They needed two tries to get it right with Billups; Dumars only needed one. So why can't that theory apply to players? Chauncey Billups has an opportunity to pave his way to Springfield. We'll see.   [read the full post]

It's not far-fetched to say that Billups and Hamilton could both stay in Detroit for another five or six years, barring trades or free agency issues. So where does that leave Stuckey?

By noreply@blogger.com (Greg Eno) If the Pistons make Rodney Stuckey an ex, they’d have some ‘splaining to do. Stuckey is the Pistons’ new point guard, in his second year. He attended school at Eastern Washington University. When you find out where EWU is, drop me a line. I’m dying to know myself. The Pistons drafted Bing from Syracuse, and Thomas from Indiana – two places where you routinely go to find NBA players. But Eastern Washington? Score one for the scouting department. And Rand-McNally. With Billups gone, Michael Curry is trying something new. He’s starting Stuckey at the point, Iverson at shooting guard, and Rip Hamilton at small forward. The NBA jargon for it is “going small.” Curry’s jargon is “We need more scoring – and we need to give Stuckey more minutes.”   [read the full post]

By Doc319@yahoo.com (David Friedman) That loud thud you just heard was the San Antonio Spurs knocking the status right out of the Nuggets in a 108-91 beatdown that was not as close as the final score. This game was played in Denver, by the way, but homecourt advantage played little role as the Spurs' "Big Three" of Tim Duncan (21 points, 12 rebounds, seven assists, five blocked shots), Tony Parker (22 points, eight assists) and Manu Ginobili (21 points on 7-11 field goal shooting) dominated while Billups (12 points on 5-13 field goal shooting, four assists) was almost completely invisible, scoring most of his points when the game was already all but out of reach. Duncan provided a nice demonstration of the difference between an MVP level player and a regular All-Star such as Car...   [read the full post]

By Doc319@yahoo.com (David Friedman) No one can be too surprised that last year's Finalists are at the top of the heap--both teams retained their core players (other than Boston losing James Posey) and the Lakers actually got significantly deeper with the "acquisitions" of Andrew Bynum and Trevor Ariza. The Cavaliers started slowly last year due to injuries and holdouts but with all hands on deck plus the addition of Mo Williams they are without question an elite, championship contending team. Since trading Chauncey Billups for Allen Iverson, the Pistons tagged the Lakers with their first--and, so far, only--loss and then ended Cleveland's eight game winning streak. Orlando is right on schedule as one of the East's top teams. Utah, Phoenix and Denver are each 8-4; the Jazz...   [read the full post]

By noreply@blogger.com (Greg Eno) The Pistons lost in the 2005 Finals to the San Antonio Spurs, who featured superstar Timmy Duncan. They lost in the 2006 conference finals to the Miami Heat, who featured superstar Dwyane Wade. They lost in the 2007 conference finals to the Cleveland Cavaliers, who featured superstar LeBron James. And they lost in the 2008 conference finals to the Boston Celtics, who featured superstars Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce. But Chauncey Billups wasn't the face of the Pistons, either. He was merely one of the starting five -- albeit one of the very best starting fives in the league. But he was no more the face than was the bellicose Rasheed Wallace, or the whirling dervish Rip Hamilton, or the quiet beanpole Tayshaun Prince. Together, they were A face.

Only one of those teams -- the Celtics (and only recently) -- have won anything of note after Billups' banishment. Meanwhile, with the Pistons, Billups has appeared in six straight conference finals, two NBA Finals, and won a championship. Not bad for a four-time loser. Tayshaun Prince, from the University of Kentucky. They play some good basketball down there, in case you didn't know. But when Joe Dumars drafted Prince in 2002, there were yawns.

By David Friedman(noreply@blogger.com) Richard Hamilton (25 points) and Chauncey Billups (19 points, seven assists) led a well-balanced attack as Detroit beat Boston 103-97, handing the Celtics their first home loss in this year's playoffs. The Pistons played very efficiently on offense, shooting 35-71 (.493) from the field, converting 28 of 32 free throw attempts (.875) and passing for 21 assists while only committing nine turnovers. Although Boston won the rebounding battle 39-31, Detroit grabbed several key offensive boards down the stretch and that helped the Pistons to preserve their lead. All five Detroit starters played at least 32 minutes and scored at least 13 points.

By noreply@blogger.com (FLCeltsFan) The question of rest vs rhythm was answered early. The Celtics came out strong and got off to an 8-0 lead before Billups hit a 3 to stop the run. The Pistons then went on an 8 point run of their own to give the Pistons their first lead at 13-12. The Celtics finished the quarter on a run to grab a 22-17 lead at the end of one. The Pistons shot just 37% in the quarter in part because of some rust on the game and in part because of the Celtics stifling defense. Perk was a beast right from the start, grabbing 8 rebounds in the first quarter. He finished with 5 points, 10 rebounds and 1 assist in 31 minutes and his defense on Rasheed Wallace was a big factor in this game.   [read the full post]

By Greg Eno Stuckey is special, folks. I think we're seeing a star NBA guard blossoming before our very eyes. And the Pistons could do a lot worse than to bring someone of his caliber off the bench, or start in case of injury or rest. Yet it might not happen for him here, only because of the quality of the dudes he's playing behind. Neither Billups nor Hamilton is close to retirement. This isn't 1993, when Thomas was on the verge of calling it quits, and thus trained rookie Lindsey Hunter as his successor, while Dumars did the same with Allan Houston.

Detroit was without Chauncey Billups, Rip Hamilton, and Rasheed Wallace - three of their top 4 scorers. Tayshaun Prince, Mr. Reliable for the Pistons, still got 33 minutes, but the Pistons used a variety of 5-man combinations with a total of 12 players seeing the floor.

I love my teams. I am a poor loser. I hate stupidity. With Rasheed Wallace limping but leading the Pistons in the second quarter after the team played another poor first and Chauncey Billups scoring an enormous 18 points in the third to bring the team back to within two, utterly inexplicable mi...

By FLCeltsFan From the very beginning of the season, Celtics fans have been concerned about the back up point guard spot. It especially became an apparent need when the Celtics played the Pistons in Boston and Rondo struggled against Billups, and House wilted under the Pistons' pressure. Well, Danny was patient and passed on several point guards who became available and now has come up with the big prize. Sam will be in town for his physical today. According to the Globe he has already signed the papers to join the Celtics. We know he has a sore wrist. It would be very bizarre if after all this he didn't pass the physical. Nah, I won't even think about that.   [read the full post]

By David Friedman In the East, Anthony and Legler only agreed about four players: Richard Hamilton, Chris Bosh, Caron Butler and Paul Pierce. Legler also had Chauncey Billups, Antawn Jamison and Zydrunas Ilgauskas on his list, while Anthony chose Ray Allen, Hedo Turkoglu and Rasheed Wallace. Bosh, Billups, Butler and Pierce are obvious choices. I would go with Ilgauskas at center; Wallace is not even a true center, he just plays there because the Pistons got rid of Ben Wallace and their other plans (Nazr Mohammed, Chris Webber) fell through. Wallace does not play hard every night and neither shoots nor rebounds as well as Ilgauskas. Hamilton and Jamison complete my ballot. Allen is having one of the worst seasons of his career and I need to see more than just th...   [read the full post]

By David Friedman The Boston Celtics led for most of the game but when crunch time arrived the Celtics disappeared and the Detroit Pistons won, 87-85. This showdown in Boston between the teams with the two best records in the Eastern Conference was just chapter one in a story that will continue throughout the regular season and very possibly not conclude until the playoffs. Chauncey "Mr. Big Shot" Billups made two game-winning free throws with just .1 second left in regulation and he finished with a game-high 28 points, including 12 in the fourth quarter. He also had a game-high eight assists. His backcourt mate Richard Hamilton scored 21 points on 8-11 field goal shooting. Antonio McDyess (13 points, 10 rebounds) was the only other Piston to reach double figur...   [read the full post]

Chauncey Billups has had enough big moments in his career that he knew exactly what he wanted to do against a younger player. Billups hit two free throws with a tenth of a second left and the Detroit Pistons handed the Boston Celtics their first home loss of the season, 87-85 on Wednesday nigh...

By Matt Watson The second quarter was truly the difference — the two teams were deadlocked with 74 points over the other three frames. The starters looked good (Chauncey Billups scored 19 on five shots, Tayshaun Prince led the team with 23 and Antonio McDyess tallied a double-double) but what really imp...

By Mick Miller Rip Hamilton led the team with 19 points, Chauncey Billups added 18 and dished out 9 dimes, and both Antonio McDyess and Rasheed Wallace contributed 12 points and 6 boards, with Sheed getting 2 blocks and 2 steals as well. Reserve Jarvis Hayes ended up with 14 on a team where no one took more th...

By admin@hoopsaddict.com (Ryan McNeil) Yesterday afternoon I had the chance to chat with Natalie from Need 4 Sheed about the Pistons summer. It was the perfect chance to get her thoughts on: Re-signing Chauncey Billups The Pistons draft which saw them select their backcourt of future in Rodney Stuckey and Aaron Afflalo The deal...

By Jared Wright The Pistons struggles weren't just limited to Billups. Much like his teammate running the point, Tayshaun Prince never got much of a foothold in this series, and his 1-for-10 shooting and a total of 5 points did nothing to help Detroit's cause. But statistics can't truly explain how the Pis...

By Jared Wright Of particular note is Coach Mike Brown's defensive move in the fourth quarter. With about 7 minutes left in the game, LeBron James switched from guarding Tayshaun Prince to Billups. This allowed rookie Daniel Gibson to move over to guarding Prince. it was hardly a favorable match up for Gibs...

By Jared Wright Whatever the reason, Billups' lack of comfort within the jaws of Cleveland's defensive pressure has stymied the Pistons entire offensive output. They are scoring well below their 96 points-per-game average, and I don't buy Billups and Hamilton, Detroit's two biggest guns offensivel...

By Natalie The Milwaukee Bucks put up a fight before going down at the Palace. The Pistons, behind Chauncey Billups 20 points didn't have an easy time with the Michael Reddless Bucks.

By Natalie It was an exciting night at the Palace. Chris Webber made his debut in a Pistons uniform and Chauncey Billups returned after an 11 game absence due to a calf strain.
