Detroit got off to a slow start, getting no points on their first four possessions and falling behind by 10 points early in the first quarter. The Pistons settled for bad jump shots and gave up plenty of points in the paint as the Heat built up the double digit […]
Simmons is at his best when he’s lampooning the NBA. His piece on the worst GMs in the NBA was a classic. He returns to what is comedic gold for him by disparaging the Eastern Conference. He has the Pistons finishing second in the conference and losing in the second round of […]
I rule! I coached 6 All America players this year!
I’ve been a skeptic of the BCS pretty much since it’s inception. Over the years there has been plenty of ammunition to basically turn the tide against voting for the #1 and #2 teams to play each other for the championship. Anyone who […]
That is the question Ted Kulfan asks in his latest article in the Detroit News. Short answer: yes, if the guy is as dangerous with the stick as he is with his hands. During the Wings heyday in the mid 90s they had Darren McCarty, Martin LaPointe and Brendan Shanahan. Those are […]
Krista Jahnke has a good article on Pistons small forward Tayshaun Prince. He was the lone Pistons starter kept off the All Star squad last season but that could change this season.
During the Pistons’ current six-game winning streak, Prince has averaged 19.5 points. He has served as the cog that has made the new […]
When Joe Dumars was able to trade for Ben Wallace and then for Rasheed Wallace for essentially nothing he was rightly hailed for being an excellent general manager. Of course even the best have their shortcomings (the draft), but deciding to let Ben Wallace leave as a free agent and also sandbagging one of […]
It was ugly, like most recent Wings games, but I am guessing the team will not complain about finally getting a win after 5 straight losses. The team couldn’t score while at even strength, they couldn’t score with the man advantage, but they did score two short-handed goals. Such is the case with […]
The timing of this opinion piece is interesting considering the rumors on Matt Millen’s tenure with the club. O’Hara doesn’t try to defend Millen’s tenure, which is obviously impossible. O’Hara acknowledges the dire need for someone with proven experience to handle personnel decisions.
No matter who is in charge, or who coaches, there must […]
The biggest problem the Red Wings have right now is scoring goals. The have put Henrik Zetterberg and Robert Lang on a line together and that seems to be helping. But the top line of Pavel Datsyuk, Tomas Holmstrom and Mikael Samuelsson is struggling, only putting up 10 goals and 23 assists thus […]
John Czarnecki at Fox Sports reports that Matt Millen will be relieved of his duties as president and CEO of the Detroit Lions by the start of next season. Unfortunately the article implies that owner William Clay Ford doesn’t undersand just how bad Millen has been. Apparently his hand is being forced by […]
