Detroit Pistons 2010-2011 TV Schedule

In-market folks will get to witness their Pistons play 81 of 82 games this season on local television. Fox Sports Detroit will televise an all-time high 80 of those (20 being on FSD-Plus because of an overlapping Red Wingsschedule). The 81st locally televised game is the ESPN match up against the Pacers late in the season, barring a switch. The only game not being televised locally is fittingly the Devil's Night game in Chicago.
The full television schedule is after the jump.
Pistons Player Previews 2010-11: Terrico White

There's been a common talking point about the attitude of the Detroit Pistons players this summer. After a season of collective disappointment, the Pistons feel that they have something to prove-- and the press have noted a certain "chip on the shoulders" of this team's players. When they finally break on to the court this October, what can Pistons fans expect to see out of this roster?
Every other weekday this month, Matt, Kevin, Packey and myself (each in varying availability) will be discussing our opinions and expectations of this Pistons team, one player at a time. Starting at the end of the bench, let's first take a look at our latest draft pick, Terrico White. The fun starts after the jump...

Don Shane speaks with Chris Ilitch about the possibility of Ilitch Holdings/Olympia Entertainment buying the Pistons. Ilitch says they are "very excited" and that they are going to do everything they can to pursue the organization, but if it doesn't work out they'll be alright.

Authentic Tracy McGrady Jersey Looks Slick

It's also relatively cheap for a Canali jersey! T-Mac insists he's not washed up, but the jokes and doubt will continue until actions speak louder than words. We're getting closer, but I'm staying away from the punch bowl this preseason.

Who Knows What The Pistons Will Look Like This Season, But I Can Promise You It Won't Be Team USA

It's not poorly written, the comparison took balls (I like balls), and it provided the Detroit Free Press with some offseason fluff, I guess, but this? Really? A post saying the Pistons are like the 2010 USA team was actually allowed to be published on one of the bigger Detroit sports media outlets?
Stop me if this starts sounding familiar: The Americans have one legitimate center on the roster. They have a number of skilled big men who will play multiple roles. They also have a few guards who are asked to play both point guard and shooting guard. The rest of the team is made up of versatile, talented players.
I shouldn't stop you.
Granted, the talent level on Team USA far exceeds that of the Pistons, but the gap isn't that big. And the Pistons will have more than just a couple of weeks to mesh and develop chemistry and one can see a glimmer of Dumars' vision materializing.
The gap in talent between the Pistons and team USA is the gap between Michael Strahan's maxillary central incisors. I get it that their lineups are unconventional, they both wear red, white, and blue and the Pistons are America's team (right?), but nuh-uh. This comparison should've never been thought of, let alone published on Freep.
But, hey, fluff meet fluff. Thanks, Freep.*
Monroe, the seventh pick in June's draft from Georgetown, is recovering from a minor procedure on his right foot after Summer League.
"It's just a lot more comfortable," said Monroe, who hasn't resumed basketball activities. "It was something that gave me a little pain. I'm not hesitating on some movements I've had before. It's going to help me a lot."
McGrady Gets the Kander Treatment

At John Kuester's request, Tracy McGrady will spend the rest of the offseason working out in Auburn Hills. From Keith Langlois at Pistons.com:
"It was good," he said. "[Kuester] told me what he expected and what he wanted me to do. He told me he wanted me here and working with Arnie. I told him, ‘No problem. If that’s what you want me to do, I’ll do it.’ I don’t have to be here, but he wants me here, so I’m here. I’m just looking forward to working with him and going on this journey this year."
So how are the workouts with Arnie going? Easier than expected, apparently:
"Some of the stuff he tells me is just mind-boggling, really," he said. "I’m so used to going 100 miles an hour in the off-season. I came in here the first day and worked out with Arnie and I looked at him after the workout and said, ‘Is that it?’ He said, ‘Yeah, that’s all you need.’ I’m like, what? I’m used to coming into training camp in tip-top shape. He said, ‘We don’t want you coming in in tip-top shape – we’re going to use camp to get you in that type of shape.’ It made sense. He said if you come to camp in tip-top shape, your body is going to break down (eventually). I never really thought of it like that.
"Some of the movements I’m doing, it has nothing to do with my knee. It’s strengthening other areas of my body that will prevent my knee from giving out. Just a lot of little things like that. It’s unbelievable."
The good news is that even though McGrady isn't going as hard as he expected, he claims he's already doing things he was unable to do last season with the Knicks. That's not setting the bar very high, I know, but it's progress.
I'm still having a hard time wrapping my head around where McGrady fits in the rotation or how many minutes he might average this season, but hey, at least we'll have fun examining the outer limits of Kander's magical healing powers.
