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 …

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 …

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. …

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, …

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 …

The Pistons are running out of bench. Just when things couldn’t get worse, Charlie Villanueva’s nose slams into Big Ben’s hip and surgery follows. Here’s to hoping Kwame Brown has one hell of a game tonight.
Villanueva updated the world Sunday with a Twitter posting: “Surgery tomorrow, wish me luck, I will send a tweet during surgery, lol, the mask is on its way, lets go.”
Villanueva suffered the broken nose during the Pistons’ 94-88 victory over the visiting Hawks on Sunday, a win that snapped a seven-game losing steak.
It happened when …

I know I’ve been following Sheed more than many of you would care to hear about, but I can’t help myself – the man is absolute entertainment.
After being T’d up for arguing a Hedo Turkoglu flop, Sheed was fined $30,000 for this spewing this outrageously humorous statement:
“They’ve got to know that he’s a (darn) flopper. That’s all Turkododo do. Flopping shouldn’t get you nowhere. He acts like I shot him. That’s not basketball, man. That’s not defense. That’s garbage, what it is. I’m glad I don’t have too much of …

Prior to Sunday, the last seven games were tough times for avid Pistons fans. Honestly, we were almost halfway to catching up with the Nets. But the drought ended Sunday afternoon, and that deserves a post.
•Historically, from what I can remember, the Pistons are horrible in Sunday afternoon games. To have this game be the one that snaps the streak is big.
•I’m surprised the Pistons aren’t doing worse, considering 95% of their team is injured in some way or another.
•Charlie broke his nose – story of the month for Detroit. …
