Rodney Stuckey collapses on the bench, seizure suspected

You hear about things like this happening once and a while in the sports world, but you never really think it’s going to happen to the team or players close to you. Rodney Stuckey collapsed on the bench during the 3rd period of the Pistons-Cavs game Friday night and had to be transported to the Cleveland Clinic via ambulance.
As of now, the best update I have is the Pistons Twitter (and ESPN) saying that they believe Rodney had some sort of seizure on the bench. Seeing him grasping Arnie Kander …

The 2010 NBA All-Star “Shoulda-Woulda-Coulda” Game

Along with every NBA All-Star game come the inevitable remarks and dubious blog posts questioning the validity of the event, along with comments of how x isn’t on the team, but y made it and everybody knows how terrible y really is. This just happens to be one of those articles. Welcome to my very own mock 2010 All-Star team:
West Starters
Chris Paul. Continues to play out the dictionary definition of “point guard”. Leads the league with 11.1 assists per game, right on par with his recent career numbers. I have …

How Sheed it is!

Sheed strolled in, had his pregame pleasantries, and was sent packing by a crippled Piston squad that had too much motivation on their side.
Scoring like it’s his job: Rodney Stuckey was out of control last night, and the Celts absolutely could not top him. As much as I hate seeing Stuckey take jump shots, they seemed to be falling this time. When he wasn’t dropping those, he had the jets on and his sights on the bucket. Rodney was born to drive to the hole, let’s hope he keeps doing …

The Pistons possibly for sale and the Wings might be playing at the Palace? What is this world coming to?!
From Yahoo! Sports:
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP)—The Detroit Pistons might be for sale.
“The options are being explored,” Pistons owner Karen Davidson said Wednesday night after the first quarter of a game against the Boston Celtics.

Her husband, Bill Davidson, died last year. The late owner known as “Mr. D” helped the Pistons win NBA titles in 1989, 1990 and 2004.
He had said during an interview before his enshrinement into the Basketball Hall of …

Bulls score season-high 120, Detroit ponders move to NBDL

While I was impressed (yet somewhat terrified) by Rodney Stuckey’s fledgling no-holds-barred state of mind, the result was far from groundbreaking. Stuckey ended up with seven points below his average as the Bulls sailed to their easiest win of the season, 120-87. Our precious Pistons have passed from the realm of terrible to borderline obnoxious.
So what happens now? Detroit has officially matched the infamous season-ending losing streak of ‘94, and is doubtfully looking to surpass it. The good news – they have to lose to the Wizards to get there. …

What the Pistons need to do to win

I’m back! Looks like I picked a splendid time to take a couple weeks off. In true Kelser fashion, I’ll rattle off a few key thoughts the Pistons need to focus on to climb out of this ungodly little slump.
Play some freaking defense. I’m sure all of you have been shouting some profane version of this at your TV screens like I have, and we have every right to. It’s exactly what was in the back of many a mind when Joe put all his chips on Gordon and Villanueva, …

Temporary Leave

Well, university-related education has officially ended, and the job hunt begins. As I search for employment, make sure to keep up with the Pistons during these trying times.
I will resume pistonpost.com posts in the second week of Janurary.
Happy holidays and Go Pistons!

We haven’t seen the last of Allen Iverson

Forever ingrained into Pistons history, Allen Iverson has elected to return to the 76ers. Since Louis Williams is out for a while, AI should be able to get some of that precious playing time that Michael Curry so fondly deprived him of.
Oh yeah, and guess who the Sixers play not after Iverson’s debut? You guessed it, the Pistons.
Iverson signed a free-agent contract with Philadelphia on Wednesday, three years after their acrimonious split led to his trade and seemingly ended any chance of his return. Iverson’s brief retirement is over and …
