The last time these two teams played, the Raptors/Maple Leafs faithful showed up and tried to hijack the Palace of Auburn Hills. Brandon Jennings, for one, didn’t forget. Toronto came out scoring down low with ease. It was the wrong big man on their young center – Greg Monroe switched with Andre Drummond at halftime. Stan […]
“Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning played Sunday’s divisional-round playoff game and the past month of the season with a torn right quadriceps, two sources told ESPN. Manning initially injured his thigh when he rolled out right to throw a 12-yard completion to Emmanuel Sanders late in the first half of Denver’s Dec. 14 victory over […]
Obama watched the Lions game and told The Detroit News in a Tuesday interview he couldn’t “remember a circumstance in which a good call by one of the refs is argued about by an opposing player of the other team with his helmet off on the field, which in and of itself is supposed to […]
Detroit looked much more comfortable in this home game after maybe having some jitters in front of a sold-out Palace last night. We steadied our intensity for four quarters on a Brooklyn Nets roster that was without Deron Williams. Greg Monroe anchored our squad, grabbing 17 boards, scoring, and dishing it out. Andre Drummond also […]
Detroit lost 106-103 with a three at the buzzer just coming up short – all despite trailing by 15 going into the 4th quarter. We didn’t come out right, letting Atlanta shoot jumpers uncontested. It was too bad, because the Piston faithful were extremely excited. It was the best crowd we’ve seen at The Palace […]

In the midst of a six-game road trip, Detroit avenged their opening loss to the Canucks with back-to-back wins in Edmonton and Calgary. Justin Abdelkader has been leading the charge with two goals and three assists in these two victories. The Oilers had tied it at two in the third period until they were assessed […]
“As is tradition.”
Detroit was forced to play another back-to-back (most in the NBA) after facing the defending NBA champions the night before. The Dallas Mavericks were only on a six-game winning streak. The Pistons, too, had won their last six. They came out of the gate with the same energy that propelled them to last night’s heroics. […]
After winning their last five in a row, going into the defending NBA champions home arena was sure to provide a true test for the Detroit Pistons. In the first quarter, we did not accept the challenge. The Spurs ball movement stifled our defense, putting us behind 37-20 after one period. It was a psychological […]
The NFL admitted to the Detroit Lions on Tuesday that officials missed a blatant hold on Ndamukong Suh on a crucial fourth-down conversion from Tony Romo to Jason Witten with six minutes left in Sunday’s wild-card game. “Had holding been called, it would have put the Cowboys in a fourth-and-16 hole on Detroit’s side of […]
The Big Unit has been elected to the Hall of Fame! Randy Johnson was my favorite baseball player of all time. I rooted for him as a kid when him and Ken Griffey Jr. were with the Seattle Mariners. Then, in Arizona, he gave me the only World Series I’ve ever won. In 2001, he […]
If not for some unfortunate reffing, Detroit easily walks away the winner in a wild-card game they dominated. Our defense held Dallas to three-and-out to begin the game. Matthew Stafford promptly hooked up with Golden Tate III for a 51-yard score. 7-0 Lions, just like that. After the defense held again, the Cowboys punted to […]
Stan Van’s new team has won four in a row after a slaughter in Madison Square Garden. It was only 24-20 after one quarter, but without several Knick starters, Detroit busted it wide open before halftime, cruising to a 19-point lead. It didn’t get any smoother for New York in the third, where Brandon Jennings […]
Michigan State stunned the Baylor Bears with an improbable comeback that will stand the test of time AS THE BEST GAME (maybe) OF ALL TIME. The Spartans scored first with a dominant rushing attack. Then, the Gay Bears showed their deep ball, a trend you’d better get used to. Michigan State went up 14-7, then […]
