We all know the Sixers have never been your traditional basketball team. The “AI” era was all about one man controlling the ball, pretty much the entire game.

Vitale, Davidson Have Each Other To Thank For Hall Of Fame Careers

06 Sep 2008 23:05:00 PDT

Written by noreply@blogger.com (Greg Eno)
Jack McCloskey was a grizzled former college basketball coach and a vagabond NBA head coach and assistant, minding his own business on the bench of the Indiana Pacers, helping his old friend Slick Leonard, when Vitale approached him. Dickie V told McCloskey that Davidson was looking for a “basketball man” to run his operation in Detroit. Vitale and McCloskey knew each other from their time spent coaching along the Atlantic Coast – McCloskey at Penn and Vitale in high school in New Jersey. But the Pacers came around, and Jack McCloskey took over the woeful Pistons in December, 1979. Vitale quit the University of Detroit in 1977 because of ulcers. And his early days with the Pistons were pock-marked with stomach ailments, too.

When the NBA raised the trade rules from 20% + 100k to 25% + 100k, it did make trades involving BYC players easier, but still difficult. Atlanta could add players to increase their outgoing total, but that total would also increase the other teams value, meaning they would have to send out mo...

Opinion: Comments from the Other Side - Pistons Game 3

24 May 2008 17:24:00 PDT

Written by noreply@blogger.com (FLCeltsFan)
Here are comments found around the Pistons boards during game 3 with the Celtics. These are definitely more fun to read when we win. Enjoy! IF the Pistons get this game.....they will be smelling blood in the water and kill Boston in Game 4. I can't see Boston winning this game though. Say a prayer or whatever you believe in that the Pistons won't do their typical "Letdown Game" after a big win My concern is the Celtics are just due to win one on the road. The Pistons need to win both home games to keep the advantage. They gotta keep the Celts role players down and limit the Big Three to outside shots I don't care if Boston is 0-6 on the road. That zero can change to a one real quick.

Opinion: Cavs Use Old Formula to Beat Pistons With New Players

20 Mar 2008 02:57:00 PDT

Written by David Friedman
Last season, the Cleveland Cavaliers eliminated the Detroit Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals by relying on excellent team defense, strong rebounding and the brilliant all-around play of LeBron James. Several of the faces have changed in Cleveland--and things have not always gone smoothly since the big trade--but that tried and tested formula resulted in an 89-73 home victory over Detroit on Wednesday night. James did his part with 30 points, seven rebounds and six assists, shooting 11-19 from the field and producing a +15 plus/minus rating while playing a team-high 41 minutes. The Cavaliers outrebounded the Pistons 46-39. Ben Wallace and Zydrunas Ilgauskas each had eight rebounds and Anderson Varejao added six rebounds o...
