Pistons fans really wanted Darko Milicic on the team
ESPN uploaded this video of two Detroit Pistons fans getting excited over the thought of the Detroit Pistons drafting Darko Milicic.
These two should have listened to the guy in the back. However, the two Pistons fans were somewhat right, as Detroit would win the NBA Championship in Milicic’s first season.

Knicks Basketball: Will Bynum a Player of Interest
Will Bynum, the pint size PG from the Detroit Pistons is has drawn some interest from the New York Knicks. With his small stature but competitive heart, Will has made a lasting impression on opponents. He is in the same mold as Nate Robinson, without the smooth shooting stroke, but he has the strength and tempo to be a very serviceable back up point for many teams, especially the...

Motivated by Tradition, Mo Cheeks Aims to Instill Winning Commitment in Young Detroit Pistons
Maurice Cheeks was introduced Thursday morning as the 33rd head coach in Detroit Pistons’ franchise history. After burning through four of those coaches quite quickly since 2008, one would figure there would be some trepidation within the next man taking the job. In Cheeks’ case, that simply wasn’t so.
Finding a fit working with a former player from his era in Joe Dumars, Cheeks...
Pistons turn the ‘Cheek’ to fans
Stop the presses! The Detroit Pistons have hired Maurice “Mo” Cheeks…
Well this is the point Detroit Basketball is at, the Pistons hired the equivalent of the Blue Light Special of coaches. Immediately I thought, come on Gores! (for those that lost interest years ago, the Pistons have a new owner and his name is in fact Tom Gores) This is it? You’re a West Coast billionaire...
Pistons Center Andre Drummond Dunks on Chris Brown (Video)
R&B singer Chris Brown has been known to be pretty good at basketball. Brown was somewhere in L.A. getting in a good run when Detroit Pistons second year center Andre Drummond arrived.
Brown must have told Drummond he could stop him from dunking on him, because a few hours later, there was a Vine of Drummond dunking on Brown something nasty.
Both men say it was a joke and planned...
Andre Drummond posterizing singer Chris Brown would be more satisfying if it were real
As great as it was to see Pistons center Andre Drummond use his 6-foot-10, 270 pound frame to knock singer Chris Brown on his ass during a little late night pick-up hoops in a Los Angeles gym, the whole thing turned out to be a set-up, staged for our entertainment. I don’t know about you, but I was more entertained when I thought Drummond posterizing the hell out of Brown was real...
EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS
Andre Drummond dunks all over Chris Brown
Pistons forward Andre Drummond has an up and down rookie campaign. When he was able to get on the court, he showed flashes of elite athleticism that has Detroit fans hopeful for the future, especially with Greg Monroe developing with Drummond as well. For some reason, Lawrence Frank did not get the two hopeful future stars much playing time together. In related news, Lawrence Frank...
Maurice Cheeks could be Brandon Knight’s lucky break
It has been roughly about a month and a half since the Detroit Pistons parted ways with Lawrence Frank. In his two year stay with the Pistons, Frank led the team to a disappointing 54-94 record. This past season, Frank went 4-30 against western conference teams and began the season with an 0-8 start. Clearly firing Frank was the right move on behalf of the Pistons organization. The...
Another day, another Pistons coach
According to several reports, the Detroit Pistons are on the verge of naming Maurice Cheeks as their next head coach.
The announcement, depending on the source, could come right now or sometime within the next 48 to 72 hours.
Would you expect anything less from the Pistons? Ambiguity is the one trait they've mastered in recent years.
And since the shelf life for a Pistons...
