Michael Rosenberg: For better or worse, Pistons need Stuckey to keep driving to the hoop

30 Oct 2009 22:22:00 PDT

The Pistons need to find out whether he can be a star. And that means letting him make mistakes of aggression, like he did Friday night, and hoping he learns from them.

Will Bynum did his best AI impression, with a mere seven points on 2-6 shooting. That said, he added seven assists and five rebounds. More disconcerting is the horror show put on by Ben Wallace, Kwame Brown and Chris Wilcox. If they can’t crack 50% from the stripe, teams are going to resort t...

Pistons rookies show fortitude

06 Oct 2009 23:37:00 PDT

Backing down simply isn't acceptable in the NBA. A young player must establish himself from the start, basically in each and every game. Reputations are earned quickly, and unflattering ones don't go away easily.

Last Night on "The Knee Jerks": Pistons Talk Put On Hold, But Some Good Rants

28 Sep 2009 23:30:14 PDT

Written by Greg Eno(noreply@blogger.com)
Next, we moved on to U-M and their win over Indiana. The health of QB Tate Forcier is an issue, and again I "reasoned" Al down from the ledge, assuring him that the Wolverines CAN win without Forcier. A good rant developed in this segment as we veered off into the college basketball programs in this area, especially the sad state of affairs at University of Detroit-Mercy. Upcoming guests: Big Al Eno On U-M football: "If Michigan can't win without Tate Forcier, then they have issues. The kid's been good, but let's not get carried away. I'm more concerned about their defense than the QB situation. Michigan is supposed to be deep at QB. So let's see it."

On Chuck Daly: Big Al: "Chuck Daly, in a way, ruined the NBA…he caused rules changes." Eno: "Daly had all the credentials to be a Pistons coach in 1983, which were none!" Eno: "He was the first NBA coach who really put it out there that this is a player’s league." Big Al: "He wasn’t a great Xs and Os guy, like Larry Brown, but he could manage people." Eno: "I remember when Chuck replaced Bill Laimbeer in the 1990 Finals with William Bedford for a few minutes in Game Three. I thought, ‘Wow, what a message.’" Big Al: "His death hit me hard." On the Red Wings-Ducks: Eno: "Brian Rafalski hasn’t played a minute in this series, and Kris Draper hasn’t played a minute in the playoffs, yet here they are, on the verge of going back to the conference finals."

The Knee Jerks -- Pistons Suck Edition (Plus We Riff On Bobby Knight, Matthew Stafford, and The Weekly Staples)

05 Feb 2009 00:03:00 PST

Written 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,...

And I also agree with LeBron being unstoppable in the playoffs. I honestly was more impressed by what he did to the Celtics in game 7 last season than what he did to the Pistons in game of the 2007 Conference Finals. He certainly has the ability to drag the Cavs to the Finals all by his lonesome.

Podcast: Saunders out in Detroit

According to reports, Saunders did not have the full respect of his players, and his offensive-minded approach perhaps did not suit a team built on defense. Detroit assistant coach Michael Curry and former Dallas Mavericks head coach Avery Johnson are considered the front runners.

Opinion: Stuckey's Growth Is Great, But Will He Stay In Detroit?

02 Apr 2008 10:11:17 PDT

Written 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. 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.
