DETROIT (AP) - Hello , my name is Mr.Basketball and I will lead you trough the game recaps of this Detroit Pistons association. I will give you my opinion , some got stuff from the locker room , pictures , boxscores , you know , everything I am paid to do. So now we have a five game wrap up. Detroit managed to win 3 games and loose two. That is a slight improvement but I bet you guys are expecting a lot more from the Motown team, right ? So lets get straight to business and do a recap of every of the five played games !



Detroit won this game because their great play in the first and 4th quarter. Demar Derozan was great in that first quarter , scoring 13 of his 17 points. The young highflier said he wants to be a part of the 2011 Slam dunk contest. I am sure that after last years solid performance , he will be even better this year , if included to participate.
Back to the game , the Kings had 5 players that scored in double digits , so did Detroit. The difference is that only one King scored 20 points , that would be Carl Landry. Three Pistons scored 20 or more , and they are : Stuckey , Gordon and Prince. Prince had a nice double double with 21 points and 10 assists in the much needed win against Sacramento.
Detroit was very good from beyond the arc , hitting 9/19 from deep , compared to a shitty peformance from the Kings. They went 1/9 from three point territory.
The Kings played without their best player , last years Rookie of the year , Tyreke Evans. The guard was out with a twisted ankle , but will return to the Kings line up in the following games.

So , we play the Mavs , we cruise past the Mavs. Surprise , surprise. I must say they under-estimated us a little bit , didn't really play defense on Stuckey so the guy went berserk. 42 points , 8 rebounds , 7 assists and 3 steals . The stats show absolute domination from Rodney in this one. "They just didn't guard me tight , so I easily found my way towards the rim , a good game"-he said.
He had some scoring help from his fellow guard , Ben Gordon. The sharpshooter scored 22 points , but he didn't seem that convincing while I was watching the game. I remember the fight Stuckey and Gordon had , and Ben said this was his team. Can't tell that from this Ben.
Kidd had another stellar performance , and really set up his team mates well , they just didn't manage to put the ball in the basket. Jason Terry went 7/24 from the field , en route to 24 points. "Meh , they were just lucky I wasn't knocking them open jumpers , if I had , we would have easily won this game"-Terry said. Well my boy , you didn't hit the jumpers and your team lost, what a shame.
Detroit wins their second in a row

Detroit couldn't manage to win their third straight win. It's really a shame , they were really hustling against the C's tonight. Rondo knew better than to let Stuckey do his thing , as he locked him down well. Stuckey did however , manage to rack up 19 points with 7 assists and 5 boards. He also pick-pocketed the ball twice. Nice outing by the rising star.
Rondo had a strange game for his style of play. 24 points and 6 assists ? What is happening to you young fella , I though you was a pass-first type Point guard. He was also 9/12 from the field as he knocked up mid range jumpers. Rondo surprised me tonight.
Ben Gordon cashed in 26 points with a perfect night from beyond the arc , going 5 / 5. It's a shame that the other starters didn't deliver , as none of them scored in double digits. Kleizla had 15 off the bench.
The big 3 also had a solid game , combining for 54 points and 20 rebounds (14 by KG). Ray Ray knocked 3 three pointers.

So the crappy New Jersey Nets send us home with a loss , our second straight. When will our team become consistent and start winning agaisnt bottom feeders ? Jesus , do something.
Brook Lopez was dominant out there , as he went for 21 points and 17 rebounds. The guy also dished 3 dimes , had 2 steals and blocked 2 shots. Pretty versatile performance for a big guy. "He just couldn't be stopped , plain and simple"-coach Deon Ewing stated, and trust me , it was a valid one.
6 Nets players finished the game in double digits , as their bench really stepped up in the game. "Our bench gave us a big lift , the guys kept us in the game when the starters and myself were resting"-Lopez said.
Ben Gordon and Rodney Stuckey had solid games despite the defeat. Ben had 24 points and grabbed 5 rebounds. First game in a long time he did something else that scoring. Rodney had 17 points and another solid all-around game with 6 rebounds and 4 assists.

Everyone in the basketball world knows the Suns run a high tempo style of play. They usually out run and out score their opponents , but on this night , they didn't , and Detroit got the win.
Only three Phoenix starters were in double digits , as they were crushed by a margin of 29. "They literally shut us down. They shot me down too. I gotta congratulate the fellas on their great game tonight"-Steve Nash was a gentleman as always.
And now the great news. Gordon and Stuckey combined for a freakish 70 points , their season high ! Ben scored 36 , rebounded 4 times , dished 3 dimes , but the story was Rodney. The kid had 34 points, he managed to rebounds the ball 6 times. He fed his team mates 8 times , and the guy HAD 7 STEALS. "Rod was in the zone tonight , I couldn't manage to score 36 if he wasn't playing like this"-Ben said.
Derozan scored in double digits , which is always good. Usually when he scores 10 or more , the team wins.

I like how this 5-game update looks If you continue with this one, could go way faster.

[Axel The Great]

Yep, I too, am liking how it looks. I've been checking in often, but not commenting. I'm liking the stories, and the most recent one: "Go fuck yourself Kuester." Stuckey had a near quadruple-double against the Suns, good to see him and BG playing strong.

[Kubik]

I like faster way to recaps games. Also love performances from Gordon and Stuckey! They beasting every single game

DETROIT ( AP ) - Hello Detroit fans , I have some good news. The Pistons played against two very strong teams and one that is play-off material. They won two of that games and lost one. Later in this article we will see them. I just wanted to say that January ends with this 3 games , and that a Melo deal has been done !



Rodney Stuckey continues to rack up the stats , with another triple-double worthy performance, but again , he came up a bit short. "I always come up a couple assists or rebounds shy , I guess it's just not meant to be"-Rodney said. His back court buddy had a good scoring game as well. But the thing about Gordon , is that he is starting to do other things than just scoring , the guy has actually started rebounding ! 'Melo wasn't dazed with the trade rumors at all , as he had a solid outing with a double-double. "I know a deal is close , but I am a professional and at this point I still am the face of the franchise , so I need to stay focused."-Carmelo said. Al Harrington had a good game off the bench racking up 15 points.

The Heat opened the game with a roll and from that point on Detroit hasn't come closer than a 7 point margin. I mean they have three superstars , no wonder they won. Miami's big three combined for 87 points ! LeBron had 37 , Wade had 28 and Bosh finished with 22 points. Wade and Bosh had double-doubles. Stuckey and Gordon cooled off a bit but other starters stepped up. 5 Piston players finished the game in double digits. " I didn't have the kind of game I was hoping to have prior the game. I just missed too many shots and free throws , just a bad night overall."-Rodney was disappointed .

Demar Derozan finally had a 20+ point game after God knows how long. " The refs were just making the calls , I made 11 out of 12 free throw attempts and that was a big reason why we won. Obviously , Rodney is having some problems with his ankle , so he didn't have a good game , but Ben was great. He started rebounding the ball , something we all haven't seen before from him"-said a happy Derozan. Amar'e had a big game with 26 points and 13 rebounds . He also had a spectacular facial dunk over Tayshaun Prince. "Man I would have to call that dunk one of the best ones in my career"-Ama're came from the baseline and just crushed it over Prince with a one handed hammer.

[Kubik]

Awesome performance by Big Three ... you don't have nothing to say in this game. But against Knicks and Nuggets you were THE KING

[Mandich]

Haven't been on the forums in a while because my PC had taken a shit on itself and doesn't work anymore. Thankfully , I got a new one today. This thing is done , so is every single thing I had on that PC , and there were many things , I had that computer for 4 years

[Bucket]

That sucks.

[kibaxx7]

Stuckey is boss

[Mandich]

That sucks.

Well I can live without the Association , but it was really a quality and expensive PC , stupid viruses

[kibaxx7]

Oh, didn't read that this one was done That really sucks man. Take a break then start another one, I liked this one until this point.
