Among the Pistons’ rookies, Khris Middleton was perhaps the most anonymous. He wasn’t the intriguing Andre Drummond, or the one who reminded fans of Arron Afflalo in Kim English, or the one who spent a year in Spain in Kyle Singler. Middleton was just a second-round pick who needed to get his knee healthy after … Continue Reading →
The Pistons released an update on Mike Abdenour, who experienced an episode on Sunday, resulting in being hospitalized. Without releasing the extent of the health situation, the team said doctors alleviated the situation with a stent procedure and expect a full recovery. He’s back home and resting comfortably. “I’m truly overwhelmed by the phone calls, … Continue Reading →
Saturday, I wrote about the possibility of the last 20 something games being a tryout for Brandon Knight, but I also talked about it being one for Kyle Singler as well. When I saw Lawrence Frank with the quick hook on Singler in the first half (and 2nd half, too) of Sunday night’s massacre against … Continue Reading →

It makes the impending return of Amare Stoudemire that much more glaring, to see if … Continue Reading →
And yet the Lakers still lose at home to a struggling Indiana Pacers team. Bryant’s performance shouldn’t be overlooked, as he was listed as a game-time decision with the flu earlier in the day. But it masks what looks like a bigger problem to date: The Lakers are struggling with new coach Mike D’Antoni’s system. … Continue Reading →
One positive effect of last year’s lockout was the shortened preseason games. One home, one away and it was against a divisional opponent. The Pistons played the Cavaliers twice. Why can’t the same thing apply for non-lockout years? No, I’m not advocating for playing the Cavs eight times or taking four trips to Cleveland (Lord … Continue Reading →
Fox Sports’ Ryan Field hosted a Media Day roundtable with yours truly, Fox Sports’ Dana Wakiji and Vince Ellis from the Freep. We discussed a bevy of topics, from last season’s potential carryover, reasonable expectations for the rookies and predictions for the season (My prediction is subject to change).

Usually when a player changes agents, it’s a pretty nondescript thing. But this is LeBron James, and everything he does has become some sort of newsworthy event. However, there could be some real substance to this and its effects could be felt around the league. James left Creative Arts Agency, which has become a power … Continue Reading →
