It is only the second regular season game on 12/28/11, but the Cleveland Cavaliers will be meeting the Detroit Pistons for the third time. The only other team that the Cavs have faced this season has been the Toronto Raptors

On Christmas Day, the NBA will perceive itself as giving the gift that keeps on giving: Five televised games in a row, none overlapping (unless one happens to go to triple overtime), to sate the hoops appetite from noon through midnight Eastern Time, or starting on the West Coast while the kids are still ripping open their gifts.

If the Detroit Pistons ‘ 90-89 victory at Cleveland would have been in the regular season rather than the preseason closer, we fans would have been thrilled and fulfilled with the come-from-behind win. Rookie Brandon Knight stole a Cavs’ inbounds pass with less to 10 second to go, and rather than intentionally fouling, the Pistons raced up the floor and fed Austin Daye , who swished the winning two free throws. But winning isn’t the main point of exhibition games.

That’s all for today.

Antonio McDyess receives my salute in his retirement after 17 NBA seasons. Hopefully my fellow and sister Detroit Pistons fans will offer the same.

The pay raise for retaining Rodney Stuckey by the Detroit Pistons is positive to see, even though the price tag of $25 million for three years seems quite steep, like almost all the salaries these days. When frustration mounts in this regard I always stop myself with reminders of much these jokers on Wall Street rake in and how much these mediocrities in Hollywood or in talk journalism are receiving, and then it doesn’t seem so bad. Rodney Stuckey caught some flak last season for falling out with Coach John Kuester, but he certainly wasn’t the only Piston in that boat

What’s with all these former Detroit Pistons —the latest being Richard “Rip” Hamilton—moving on the play with the enemy, the Chicago Bulls ? First, after the old Bay Boys era, there were Dennis Rodman and John Salley (in a far less prominant role than the Worm), winning additional championship rings in Chitown

Well, we still don’t know when our Detroit Pistons will open their regular season with settlement of the NBA lockout. But we DO know plans for the preseason. Each team will play a pair of preseason contests, which is about all they need at any rate.

That’s all for today.

Kyle Singler will remain in Spain to play for Real Madrid rather than return to the United States and play for the Detroit Pistons, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports is reporting . Singler was the 33rd pick in the 2011 NBA Draft out of Duke University. Singler began his overseas career playing for Alicante, where he averaged 15 points per game.

The Detroit Pistons second round pick has apparently decided to stay in Spain even now that the lockout is over, however, as he’s reportedly on the verge of signing with Real Madrid. Singler will sign a $900,000 contract with the top Spanish club as a replacement for fellow NBA player Rudy Fernandez ,  according to a report from Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports

The players are getting scant sympathy during the NBA lockout, and they won’t get much from me either.

There have been a number of great moments in sports to happen on November 10. This was the day where Gordie Howe set a record as the top goal scorer in the NHL. It was also the day that the Detroit Pistons hired the youngest coach in the history of the NBA

That’s all for today guys, i’ll be back to blog you tomorrow.

As the inexorable NBA lockout continues, it’s difficult to think of the players as victims of racial bias. After all, they’re individuallly making an average of $4 million per season. Still, there are some points to be considered from William C.

Gotta run!.

There are good reasons to criticize, or at least question, the career of Isiah Thomas after he took off his Detroit Pistons playing uniform for the final time. Zeke got off to a decent start coaching the Indiana Pacers , but then by all accounts he screwed up the developmental Continental Basketball Association, and the New York Knicks still are trying to recover from his horrific stint as coach/general manager. The late Bill Davidson, when he was the Pistons owner, may have displayed some keen insight on eschewing Isiah, even though Joe Dumars has engaged in a few follies of his own, starting with the drafting of Darko Milicec and the trade of Chauncey Billus for Allen Iverson (notes) , which was the start of the team’s demise from the excellence of the of the mid to late 2000s

It’s becoming more and more obvious that we won’t have much, if any, of the Detroit Pistons and NBA basketball this winter. And so maybe, for the next best thing, we could apply some of the NBA’s best rules to the other sports. Take the 24-second clock
