  Glad you enjoyed the Super Bowl, Holly…..it turned into a great game. I know my man TAD keeps telling everyone in earshot that the Pistons can turn things around…..but after watching about my 10th full game of them yesterday…it’s safe to say thy are a team that has no danger quotent behind them with the current makeup and the DEFINITLEY need to move someone before the trade deadline to make something happen positive. Did I hear right or was it a misquote by one of the announcers yesterday that the Pistons are 4-11 over the last 15 games? That can’t be right can it?

• Sesa Posted: Feb.2 at 9:23 am
  It kills me to say this Holly, but Karma is in the works for Bynum.
  As much as I liked him to stay healthy, he had his karma to pay on Gerald Wallace.

• riggs Posted: Feb.2 at 9:24 am
  Jennifer hudson is effing beautiful. oh and TERRIBLE TOWEL!!

• Eboy Posted: Feb.2 at 9:25 am
  I thought it was announced in the press that it was just a sprain to his knee? Why is this a story?

• Sesa Posted: Feb.2 at 9:32 am
  @eboy, because it’s the Lakers and sprain to his knee analysis were only the result from a negative x-rays

• Eboy Posted: Feb.2 at 9:33 am
  Oh.

• riggs Posted: Feb.2 at 9:40 am
  if the magic keep hitting those threes in succession they are going to kill in the post-season

• Jukai Posted: Feb.2 at 9:48 am
  I gotta say, since I had such low expectations for that superbowl, I was pretty much blown away by it.
  My peeps were debating who they thought the Finals MVP was going to be before the game started, and I sort of pulled the name Santonio Holmes out of my arse (mostly because I love shouting SANNNN-TONIOOOOO).
  Well, turns out I’m a prophet.

• ciolkstar Posted: Feb.2 at 10:16 am
  Jennifer Hudson did look pretty amazing. I’m still amamzed she’s been in the public eye this much after such a terrible family tragedy. Santonio Holmes and Jerome Harrison shoulda been co-MVPs. I was really just rooting for a good game, and we certainly got that.

• ciolkstar Posted: Feb.2 at 10:18 am
  Also, Thank you Jeff Green. What an underrated young player he’s become.

• mike Posted: Feb.2 at 10:21 am
  Looks like it would have been better if Bynum got suspended. For the Lakers I mean.

• Darksaber Posted: Feb.2 at 10:30 am
  apropos Hill (s): the ongoing resurgence of Grant’s hops, drive and je ne sais quoi is making me feel giddy. Latest example, see Grant Hill dunki… Nahh, cramming the ball on some fool (noah?) last weekend like it was Detroit 99 up in here. That slam, by a 36 year old with a history of ankle surgeries floored me. kudos as well to Manu for making Hilton armstrong cry for mama. (nasty)

• mike Posted: Feb.2 at 10:45 am
  Yeah, Manu’s dunk was sick, but his post dunk celebrations are getting way out of control. Just kidding.

• Darksaber Posted: Feb.2 at 10:49 am
  yeah, dude sure needs to simmer down, eh?

• Darksaber Posted: Feb.2 at 10:49 am
  yeah, dude sure needs to simmer down, eh?

• Allenp Posted: Feb.2 at 10:52 am
  Poor Detroit.
  The pieces are there, the connection and group dynamic is not. Watching the Cavs and watching the Pistons it was obvious that one team likes each other and is bonded, while the other team is just doing its job. So sad.
  Oh well, maybe things will get better, but I doubt it. The Pistons can still beat Orlando in a seven game series.

• Eboy Posted: Feb.2 at 10:58 am
  “The Pistons can still beat Orlando in a seven game series.” I don’t know about that Allen.

• Lz - Cphfinest3 Posted: Feb.2 at 11:01 am
  Quick thoughts: Amazing Superbowl. Tough love for Bynum, may he get well soon, good too see that Kobe was really looking worried for the young guy’s health and making sure he was alright, instead of thinking about his diminishing chances of a Shaq-less ring.. hmm.. wait a minute what was 24′s reaction again? Although I still think that Mo W. should have made the All-Star team in front of him, I have to admit that Jameer is one feisty little bugger. After watching Det-Cle I just have to say: Like I’ve said before Detroit need to start rebuilding NOW, they’re not close to winning anything as currently constituted (sorry TAD), also Rasheed again disapeared completely against another top team, love Sheed but he’s looking increasingly like he’s going downhill. So overrated at this stage imo.

• BETCATS Posted: Feb.2 at 11:02 am
  I also do not agree with this karma bussiness. I am actually getting people yelling like its a attempted murder of their idea that it is on a Bobcats Fan website. As much as i think Bynum commited a reckless play, nobody ‘deserves’ to get injured.

• Darksaber Posted: Feb.2 at 11:04 am
  nice BET. Mature reaction, i can dig that.

• Lz - Cphfinest3 Posted: Feb.2 at 11:05 am
  *Though luck, not love.. Don’t know where that came from.

• Eboy Posted: Feb.2 at 11:06 am
  To follow up on LZ’s comment…..I completley agree with Sheed’s playing status at the moment. 90% of the time he’s floating at the three point point line on offense and his defensive rotations are just terrible. I think he’s done in Detroit…..and hopefully it will be by the trade deadline. He’s disinterested and it’s pretty sad. This is a guy who’s skill set is maybe in the top 5 of PF’s throughout the league….yet he’s playing like he’s a career backup that can’t change a game.

• riggs Posted: Feb.2 at 11:08 am
  anyone wanna co-sign that people are crazy calling last nights game the best in superbowl history? have they forgotten last years?

• Eboy Posted: Feb.2 at 11:09 am
  And this is all an extension of Curry’s effect (lack of) on the team. And while I hate the Pistons…..I wanted to see them do well with the AI trade…..and that is a fantasy that has no chance of coming to fruition as long as the Cavs and Celts are in the conference (along with 90% of the other teams in the East as well).

• Allenp Posted: Feb.2 at 11:14 am
  Eboy
  I agree on the Celts and Cavs, I still think the Pistons are as good as any other team in the East behind those two. Believing in Orlando is a sucker’s bet, because it’s not impossible to neutralize Dwight Howard on offense, and if you do that the Magic are a team of jump shooters.
  I agree with you about Sheed on offense, but he’s still a pretty solid defender. It’s the offense and the rebounding that are inconsistent.
  LZ
  The Piston are rebuilding. They have two massive contracts that come of the books at the end of the season. They have a young point guard, a few young forwards and solid vets at the two guard and three guard position. Dumars is rebuilding the right way, not the dumb way.

• riggs Posted: Feb.2 at 11:14 am
  @Eboy: sheed shouldve been done way before chauncey, i was more surprised at them not trading sheed than them trading big shot

• Eboy Posted: Feb.2 at 11:21 am
  Well….in theory I agree with Allen…..but in actuality….Detroit is not better than Orlando, with orlando having home court in a playoff series. This isn’t the old Pistons squads that could win anywhere….they might take a game in Orlando….but Orlando can surely take one Detroit as well. And yeah….the rebuilding thing is right there in plain sight…..they just need to pull off one decent deal and they could be in that conversation again this season….regardless of which way they go in the offseason.

• BETCATS Posted: Feb.2 at 11:29 am

• Lz - Cphfinest3 Posted: Feb.2 at 11:31 am
  Allenp; agree that Dumars have allready taken the first step in the rebuilding process, but he should ship Sheed (as long as he still has value) and maybe RIP out as quickly as possible, and start building around Stuckey and Prince (to a lesser extent Maxiell). To further elaborate on your stance on Sheed, he’s no way a decent defender. For a 6’11 long limbed guy, he is (and always have been) a below average rebounder, shotblocker, and not much of a presence inside. Like Eboy said his rotations are slow and just plain bad. He’s completely disinterested, and it seems that the only thing making him suit up is his paycheck and the chance to bark at officials. Don’t label me a hater, as I’ve always loved Sheed’s demeanor and game, but the state he’s in as a player is just sad these days. Maxiell should play more, at least he’s interested in working up a sweat.

• Eboy Posted: Feb.2 at 11:32 am
  I should also put it out there too that I’ve always loved Sheed’s game too….so I’m not hating either.

• Eboy Posted: Feb.2 at 11:33 am
  BET….what does that comment mean?

• Lz - Cphfinest3 Posted: Feb.2 at 11:38 am
  BETS; you shouldn’t go play with the kids from across the street. We have a virtual band of brothers thing going on here at SLAMONLINE, don’t jepordarize (s?) that.

• BETCATS Posted: Feb.2 at 11:38 am
  It was said to me on another site after i said somebody who called a aquring Corey Maggette FOR SEAN MAY a bad idea because Maggette is a ‘black hole’. I said that person deserved a black eye.

• BETCATS Posted: Feb.2 at 11:39 am
  i guess Lz is correct. But stimulating conversation is 2nd only to sex in a helicopter over the Sea of Japan for me.

  *Polamalus – staying up all night have apparently wrecked my spelling.

• Allenp Posted: Feb.2 at 11:53 am
  LZ
  I”m not calling you a hater. I just think you and Eboy are misinformed.
  When I watch the Pistons, I rarely see Sheed cheat the team on defense. His rotations weren’t off last night. He was coming from the weakside to help after the other Pistons, like Iverson, misplayed a pick and roll. I saw him trying to get over to help, but also not wanting to leave Big Z for an open shot. When I’ve watched that games, I’ve felt that Sheed is the Pistons most cerebral defender. Typically, he plays solid defense and at times it’s outstanding.
  However, he regularly cheats the team on offense and on the glass. Way too much drifting, way too many three pointers that are not set shots. Sheed has transformed himself into a 6’11″ shooting guard, something I’ve been saying since the trade happened.
  Personally, I think the Pistons are going to have to find a way to bond and stop pouting. They are very similiar to the Suns right now. Everybody on the team needs an attitude adjustement.
  Also, while I agree that Chauney was the leader and his impact on the team is obvious now, I will say that the Pistons have had problems with consistency and effort since their second trip to the Finals. Things look worse now because they introduced a new player and new coach, but the core issues have been there for a while.
  Finally, Mark Jackson is my hero for pointing out that the same people who complain about Iverson’s dribbling and defense (I’m looking at you Doug Collins) rarely make the same complaints about Steve Nash. It needed to be said.

• Lz - Cphfinest3 Posted: Feb.2 at 12:03 pm
  Allenp; I know you’re not labeling me a hater, just wanted to set the record straight, since I was having a pretty strong go at Wallace. Prince is Pistons best defender, by far. We are going to have to disagree about Sheed’s defence, cause I think it’s average at most considering his height, length, frame, and experience. Nash should get a pass, about the dribbling since he rack’s up numerous assists, set up the whole Suns offense, and shoots at a very high %. About his defence you’re completely right though, and I agree that’s just wrong that experts seem to skip that topic. Nash is an amazing teamleader, but a player only playing on side of the floor should never ever have won a MVP (let alone two).

• Eboy Posted: Feb.2 at 12:06 pm
  I also loved Mark Jackson for calling out Rick Barry for his Lebron criticisms.

• Eboy Posted: Feb.2 at 12:11 pm
  Put it like this….when Sheed is locked in and motivated….he’s a premier PF and the Pistons of old were deadly and the “new” Pistons have the ability to be a night in, night out force. When he plays the way he did on Sunday….he and the Pistons are 2nd rate.

• what Posted: Feb.2 at 12:21 pm
  The Pistons looked pretty good for the first three quarters yesterday. I don’t think it’s impossible for that team to come together before the playoffs (although as a Hawks fan I hope they don’t). But I agree with Allenp about Rasheed Wallace though, he kills their offensive flow. They already have a guy in Iverson who takes a lot of shots out of the flow of the offense, but at least he makes a lot of them. You can’t have two players like that though.

• ciolkstar Posted: Feb.2 at 12:21 pm
  Sheed is the ONLY guy I’ve seen be able to guard Duncan, and when he works for that baseline turnaround NOBODY can guard him. I just think he only plays hard against guys he doesn’t like or is another premier PF. When he feels like they’re playing for the ring he goes hard, he might have some doubts about whether this team can go all the way, and now his effort is lacking. Also, I never gave Chauncey enough credit, especially for keeping that circus running.

• ciolkstar Posted: Feb.2 at 12:24 pm
  That was confusing… I meant he only plays hard aginst guys he doesn’t like and premier PFs(Duncan, KG, Amare, Bosh). He’s always had issues sustaining his effort, but he’s been especially inconsistent/unmotivated this season.

• Allenp Posted: Feb.2 at 1:06 pm
  Ciolk
  I agree with you that he plays really hard against guys he doesn’t like. Against premier forwards, I feel like sometimes he drifts WAY too much on offense. He doesn’t mix it up at all on the block with the premier cats. Against inferior cats he doesn’t like, he’ll post up sparingly at least, but against the elit cats, he just wants to drift and shoot threes. I honestly don’t have a problem with him shooting shots when his feet or set and he has some time, but wheneve he has to take a dribble, or is flashing off a down screen, it’s just ridiculous. That’s is unacceptable. Sheed should be Garnett, period. There is no excuse for him not matching Garnett’s level of play. None.

• whooo! Posted: Feb.2 at 1:19 pm
  darksaber’s on point about those dunks. grant hill dunking on noah shocked the hell outta me – it looked like a complete flashback. and ginobili destroying hilton armstrong looked like a HUGE sign that he may be getting healthy after his surgery this summer.

• Anton Posted: Feb.2 at 1:24 pm
  It was karma for G-Wall.

• Anton Posted: Feb.2 at 1:36 pm
  In other news, Big Z is still great. Playing on a rehabbed ankle, the seven footer(!) can still hit 3′s while jumping half an inch. Respect.

• ciolkstar Posted: Feb.2 at 1:37 pm
  Grant Hill has looked REALLY fast the last few times I saw him play. cutting to the beasket with or without the ball. I, for one, couldn’t be happier about him making a legit comeback. The guy still plays hard and clearly wants to win.

• ciolkstar Posted: Feb.2 at 1:38 pm
  Z did look better than I expected him to…

• Darksaber Posted: Feb.2 at 1:50 pm
  Bring back “comeback player of the year” award. Grant needs to be honored.

• Jukai Posted: Feb.2 at 1:51 pm
  Allenp, you and Ciolk always found Rasheed to be better than I’ve found him. He’s got a GOOD outside shot, and a GOOD post-game, he’s an ABOVE AVERAGE rebounder… but he never struck me as anything above that. He had his games, btu I always felt like those were him being streaky rather than actually giving it his all.
  That being said, it’s plain to see he’s notoriously lazy.

• Russ Bengtson Posted: Feb.2 at 1:55 pm
  Sometimes I think Grant’s injuries were something of a blessing in disguise because he suffered so much less wear and tear. Now that he’s finally healthy, he’s 36 going on 30. Put it this way: Grant has played 772 career NBA games (including the playoffs). Kobe Bryant has played 1,064.

• TADOne Posted: Feb.2 at 2:00 pm
  I have no energy today, at all, to talk about that team in Auburn Hills, Mi. They are collectively killing my spirit.
  -
  However, that was a hell of a Superbowl yesterday. No complaints.

• Russ Bengtson Posted: Feb.2 at 2:04 pm
  Paul Pierce has played more regular-season games than Grant Hill has played games, period.

• Darksaber Posted: Feb.2 at 2:04 pm
  No argument here Russ, but anytime i hear that argument, i state the fact that he’s 36 and that ankle business could just as well have been the end of his career (not to mention his life, remember the staph infection…yowza). So it’s quite amazing for me to see a 36 year old, fresh odometer or not, scooting to rim, taking off just inside the painted area and making a “big man” eat his frosties. I just luv that kinda stuff.

• Russ Bengtson Posted: Feb.2 at 2:05 pm
  OH MY GOODNESS! IT’S SO LOW! *turns sound off*

• Darksaber Posted: Feb.2 at 2:06 pm
  Mike Findog (still my man, Mike) never ventures anywhere close to the rim anymore and that was one of the better rim rockers back in the day, same as Grant. It takes cojones to go to the rim like that after all he’s been through.

• Russ Bengtson Posted: Feb.2 at 2:06 pm
  Oh, I’m not saying it’s not remarkable. I love watching him play, too—makes me feel a little less ancient. Had you told me five years ago that he’d be getting regular-rotation minutes for an uptempo team and yoking it on people I would have never believed you. Grant’s amazing.

• Darksaber Posted: Feb.2 at 2:08 pm
  Huh? Low?

• Darksaber Posted: Feb.2 at 2:10 pm
  You wanna feel ancient? Try playing league ball twice a week and having to ice/tigerbalm your aching joints for double that amount of time just to be ready for the next game. Arrrrgh!

• Russ Bengtson Posted: Feb.2 at 2:21 pm
  Dude, I go out and shoot for an hour and I’m drenched and limping. A physical therapist would have a field day with my ankles. (“Low.” The Kobe shoe ad. If you have your volume up, it yells at you non-stop.)

• Eboy Posted: Feb.2 at 2:23 pm
  I’m glad I’m not the only one being annoyed by the Kobe ad.

• Anton Posted: Feb.2 at 2:28 pm
  “Low” as in his chances in the postseason

• jaymes Posted: Feb.2 at 2:29 pm
  Has it only been the last couple of weeks that GHill has realised he can still get up? I haven’t seen him attack the cup like he has lately, all year..And before that since bout 95..

• Jukai Posted: Feb.2 at 2:43 pm
  Will Kobe ride in on a white horse to each game of the playoffs?

• BETCATS Posted: Feb.2 at 2:51 pm
  if somebody says something amazing i will change me screen name to J Prudifurg McFish. Right fu(kin now!!!!!!!!!!!!

• Jukai Posted: Feb.2 at 2:54 pm
  something amazing

• Anton Posted: Feb.2 at 2:58 pm
  I’m concerned about GWall and his COLLAPSED LUNG that Bynum caused, not the extension of Kobe’s playoff hopes (Bynum’s knee).
  Cry me a f*cking river, LA fans.

• Darksaber Posted: Feb.2 at 2:59 pm
  Naah, he’ll be pushed in while astride a STUFFED horse, just like in the ad (cause ya know, the “Mamba” don’t ride no live horse). And yes, that bloody banner for the zoom IV is annoying as all hell. At least Bron’s SIX Banner is soothingly silent. Yet another point to LBJ. (uh oh, have i started another debate on those two? Like i care)

  Bynum should be back in six weeks…I fell like I’ve heard that one somewhere before…

• TADOne Posted: Feb.2 at 3:04 pm
  6 weeks????!!! Sprained knees aren’t what they used to be.

• jaymes Posted: Feb.2 at 3:08 pm
  He won’t be riding a white horse but maybe a white whore….Too rich BET?

• Anton Posted: Feb.2 at 3:08 pm
  If he’s back in 6 weeks, that means he’ll be a no-factor for another 2 weeks which means a total of 2 months missed. I’m sure half of April’s not too late to battle for home court advantage.

• Anton Posted: Feb.2 at 3:09 pm

• Eboy Posted: Feb.2 at 3:12 pm
  Uhm….I just read 8 to 12 weeks for Bynum….I need confirmation!!!!

• Eboy Posted: Feb.2 at 3:13 pm
  For a torn MCL.

• Darksaber Posted: Feb.2 at 3:14 pm
  Hey Mcfish, how’s that namechange coming along. You gotta hand it to jaymes here, his whore comment was kinda out there in the amazing category.

• Darksaber Posted: Feb.2 at 3:16 pm
  12 weeks for healing or 12 weeks total time including rehab?

• Eboy Posted: Feb.2 at 3:17 pm
  Dark….I just read it on NBA.com…..it says 8-12 weeks but doesn’t specify rehab time (I could only assume it includes it)

• Darksaber Posted: Feb.2 at 3:20 pm
  Wow. Lakers must be feeling like Denzel right now. Deja vu, b*atches.

• TADOne Posted: Feb.2 at 3:22 pm
  It is quite ironic that he injured his knee in the game he should have been suspended for.

• Darksaber Posted: Feb.2 at 3:25 pm
  Ba-da-Bing! was waiting for the first commenter to jump on that one, TAD. Good on ya.

• jaymes Posted: Feb.2 at 3:25 pm
  Anything for J. Prudifurg…

• Eboy Posted: Feb.2 at 3:26 pm
  While I truly feel bad for a dude that’s been playing so well as of late (not withstanding the Wallace bullsh*t)and can’t seem to get past knee issues….I hope Lakers fans will now back off their ridiculous ray of hope attitudes and realize that seasons can take huge detours in just a blink of an eye. This is not going to stop them….but it will slow them and make their “solid” defense a lot less sturdy.

• DP Posted: Feb.2 at 3:27 pm
  Bynum going down has to be a early christmas present for me. thanks santa.

• Eboy Posted: Feb.2 at 3:27 pm
  And leaves the door wide open for the Spurs as well.

• Darksaber Posted: Feb.2 at 3:29 pm
  Wow, this would be similar in scope to Yao or Howard missing for weeks on end, BUT those yellow/purple boys sure have a deep team. Time for whiney Pau to man up and start his tirades en espagnol to the refs.

• TADOne Posted: Feb.2 at 3:29 pm
  The Spurs have to be the favorite in the West now, no?

• Eboy Posted: Feb.2 at 3:30 pm

  Ok, maybe NOT Howard. Orlando would be truly screwed without his contributions. More like Houston missing Ming, better comparison. My bad.

  Wow this is like Christmas morning – is it 6 weeks? 8? Double digits? 12? So exciting.

• jaymes Posted: Feb.2 at 3:35 pm
  They did ok without him last year..I think they’ll cruise into the Finals even without Bynum, but i can’t see them knockin over the Celt’s without him…

• Eboy Posted: Feb.2 at 3:36 pm
  Dark…….basically, if he somehow doesn’t return at the level he has been playing at…..the Lakers are the same team they were last season and while they beat a not so perfect Spurs team….they’ll have a hard time duplicating that feat again if they were to meet and there is no WAY they beat cleveland or Boston without Bynum’s presence.

• DP Posted: Feb.2 at 3:36 pm
  That’s why i said it is failing miserably.

• Eboy Posted: Feb.2 at 3:36 pm
  They’ll be no “cruising” without him in the lineup.

• jaymes Posted: Feb.2 at 3:39 pm
  They pretty much cruised through it last year without him…only minor away hiccups IMO

  I think they can beat Cleveland without Bynum, but mentally i think it’ll be too tough to beat Boston with the same team from a year ago.

• Anton Posted: Feb.2 at 3:47 pm
  ^Negative. Big Z’s back and he brought his 3 point shot.

• Darksaber Posted: Feb.2 at 3:49 pm
  Basically, it’s time for Phil to adopt the “us against the world” stance with the team. But seeing that Hell-A’s mostly warm weather, insanely hot accessible groupies (for superstars anyway) and partés, don’t think this bunch of sunnyboys will embrace the Bostonesque party line.

• jaymes Posted: Feb.2 at 3:49 pm

  Idiots.

• Darksaber Posted: Feb.2 at 3:55 pm
  Actually jaymes, THAT one they do by heart.

• Anton Posted: Feb.2 at 4:01 pm
  jaymes, are you saying somebody on the Lakers other than 24 is clutch? I’m not saying Z is clutch, far from it, but that ability is a definite asset which sets him apart from other bigs. Granted, Gasol makes the right plays at the right times (like against Boston on Christmas day) but when it’s crunch time, Cavs only have to stop Mamba (see: Finals, 2008).
  Having said that, if the Lakers snap the Cavs’ undefeated home streak, I’ll be impressed and scared. Unless they struggle the rest of the season, of course.

• DP Posted: Feb.2 at 4:04 pm
  I still think my team is going to be in the Finals against the cavs but it will not be easy by task at all. Spurs will make a little push and i want to see a epic western conference finals since Ginobli is healthy now. and roger mason…
