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.

•Charlie broke his nose – story of the month for Detroit. …
Not to make light of this situation at all, but I did enjoy seeing “MAKE SOME NOISE!!!” on TV.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP)—A small fire kept Detroit Pistons fans from watching most of the second half of Friday’s 104-96 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.
The fire filled a production truck with smoke during the second half and the live feed was lost for the rest of the game. No one was hurt.
Viewers saw the feed from the arena’s scoreboard once a connection with Palace of Auburn Hills was made, but the …
Pretty crazy stuff for a guy who started over 400 consecutive games. This will be the perfect window for Jerebko and Daye to step up and show their stuff, which I’m sure they’re more than willing to do. I would keep an eye out on trade rumors too, the longer Tay sits out (without surgery), the more I get to thinking there’s something going on behind the scenes…
Vince Ellis/DFP:
For now, the remedy is rest for the ruptured disc in Tayshaun Prince’s back, but possible surgery to correct the problem hasn’t …
