ESPN: Detroit Pistons are no longer a top team, right now...
Full-Court Press - A Detroit Pistons Blog — When compiling lists of the Eastern Conferences top point guards, the Pistons would always be mentioned. Chauncey Billups was the unquestioned leader of the Pistons and NBA Finals MVP. Now that Chauncey is leading the Denver Nuggets and the Pistons are without a true, veteran point guard, Detroit is not mentioned. That may explain these analysis by advance scouts that ESPN has on their Weekend Dime page. December 6, ESPN: Western Conference scout on what the Chauncey Billups-Allen Iverson trade has done for the Nuggets: "Chauncey has been fantastic. These guys show him ...

Blazersedge — ... Yeah - I'm old school. But come on - the guy's just begging for it. You wouldn't let that stuff go unanswered at any level in any sport. In baseball, acting that way toward an opponent would get you a fastball in the ribs, if not the noggin. In football, you're taking a chance on receiving a nasty crackback. If Garnett doesn't get fined for it, the league has no balls. And I'm not talking about Spauldings. An Eastern Conference Scout had this to say about Greg Oden over the weekend... "Guess ...
