Options to Fill Out the Sixers Frontcourt
With Spencer Hawes sidelined with an iffy back, the Sixers frontcourt is extremely thin. Look no further than last night when TONY BATTIE MacGyver'd himself into the starting lineup. Doug Collins isn't ready to hand over significant time to rookie Nikola Vucevic, and with Marreese Speights...
Even Dumars is surprised by Big Ben
From FanHouse's Tim Povtak in Orlando: Wallace, 35, is one of the biggest and most pleasant surprises of this young season. In the first five games, he has averaged 10 rebounds in 31 minutes while also playing the kind of hard-nosed interior defense that once helped him anchor Detroit's NBA...
Pistons pluck Hawks
Random thoughts on last night's win: • We've spent a lot of time talking about Detroit's four-guard rotation, but Atlanta might just have an answer: Joe Johnson, Mike Bibby, Jamal Crawford and Jeff Teague. Granted, Bibby failed to score last night, Crawford didn't play with a calf injury and Teague...

DBB Countdown: Big Ben’s $48 million
There are 48 days left until the Pistons kick off the 2008-09 season. Speaking of 48, Ben Wallace turned down $48 million from the Pistons ((Or thereabouts. Some reports say Detroit went as high as $49.6 million, but logically if you turn down 49.6, you've also turned down 48. Or something. For the...
"We still hate Cleveland"
Will Ben Wallace's arrival in Cleveland lessen the rivalry between the Pistons and Cavs? The Pistons don't think so. From the DetNews: "We still hate Cleveland," Lindsey Hunter said, with no trace of a smile. "We didn’t like Chicago (when Wallace was there), either. That’s just the way it...
Ben Wallace traded to Cavs
Dan Gilbert's desire to transform the Cavs into the Pistons knows no end. From KC Johnson of the Chicago Tribune: The Ben Wallace era in Chicago has come to an end. A little more than one and a half seasons after Bulls general manager John Paxson and then-coach Scott Skiles made a splash by signing...
