Allen Iverson On His Way To Detroit
The Detroit Pistons are this close (imagine my thumb and index fingers very near to each other) to trading Chauncey Billiups, Antonio McDyess and Cheikh Samb to the Denver Nuggets for Allen Iverson. The Detroit News was first on this, and others are now saying that the deal has been agreed to in principle and could be final within the hour. More » -

Here's What Kwame Brown Can Do For The Pistons
Joe Dumars has done great things in Detroit. He drafted Tayshaun Prince and Rodney Stuckey. He traded for Ben Wallace, Richard Hamilton and Rasheed Wallace. And he signed Chauncey Billups and Antonio McDyess. Basically, he assembled the core for a perennial championship contender...and they've delivered five trips to the Eastern Conference Finals, two trips to the NBA Finals and a championship. That's pretty good no matter what your measure for success is. More »

Three Presumed Mismatches In NBA Playoffs Tonight
If the 76ers hadn't pulled off that Game 1 upset in Auburn Hills, tonight's NBA Playoff games would have the feel of a night off. The Celtics were terrifying against the Hawks in Game One and seem unlikely to remain so. The Lakers appears well on their way to continuing Allen Iverson's enobling failures. And there you have those crazy 76ers. More »

The Cavaliers Do Not Have Hand
I'll admit up front that I probably don't know what I'm talking about with this LeBron finger injury thing. The Cavaliers have a staff of trainers with many small medical items clipped to their belts and handsome framed certificates at home, and I still use Flintstones band-aids. But what the hell... ? James sprained the index finger of his non-shooting hand in the second quarter, and by the third quarter he was on the bench in street clothes. Would this have kept Oscar Robertson out of a game? Wouldn't Jerry West have wrapped it in a dirty sweat sock during a timeout and kept playing? The Pistons went on to a 109-74 win. More » -

Good Night, Sweet Prince
• What's Gotten Into Tayshaun Prince? There's only one way to explain the Piston's opener on Thursday: Tayshaun Prince was bitten by something in the woods, and became Teen Wolf. Prince scored a career-high 34 points, and collected 12 rebounds (!), as Detroit beat Miami 91-80 in the season opener for both teams. The Pistons were even playing without Richard Hamilton, who was absent due to "a family matter." Prince was 13-for-23 from the floor, and Chauncey Billups had 19 points. Shaquille O'Neal? Just watchin' (six shots, nine points). The Heat was also without Dwayne Wade (recovering from several surgeries). More »

Encore?
The playoffs, as you often hear, are all about adjustments. If you're Flip Saunders, how do you adjust to LeBron James finally becoming the unstoppable force he was always supposed to be? I guess your best hope is to just hope he's exhausted from kicking your ass the last time out. The downside is that Drew Gooden, Larry Hughes, and the rest of the Cavs are well-rested from letting LeBron go 1-on-5 in Game 4. More » -

LeBron Does All Kinds Of Things Humans Aren't Supposed To Be Able To Do
This photo is of the last point of the final 25 LeBron James scored last night to give the Cavaliers a 3-2 series lead in the Eastern Conference Finals. (Yes, for once, the Eastern Conference playoffs were not just watchable, but thrilling.) We find it amazing that in this shot, there are five Detroit Pistons and only LeBron. We know that LeBron's sort of a one-man team, but this drives it home in a literal sense. More » -

LeBron Would Like To Make His Case Now
Heavens to Betsy: We think it's possible that LeBron James has proven himself in the fourth quarter. Or in overtime. Or in double overtime. Or, perhaps soon, in the NBA Finals. He scored the last 25 points for the Cavs. That, friends, is ridiculous. Consider our jaws officially agape. More tomorrow. -

Cavs' Chance To Take Total Control
Larry Hughes will be back tonight, but nobody really cares about that anymore: The planet's got Daniel Gibson fever. Well, maybe that's pushing it, but if LeBron James and company can pull off Game 5 in Detroit tonight — hey, the Bulls won one there — then everything is upside down and crazy, and we even promise to buy LeBron's shitty sports drink.
