My real name is Matt and I live in Bay County, Michigan. Location wise I’m pretty much equal distance from Auburn, Bay City, and Midland. My truest passion is music. I play what I can get my hands on and I record mostly instrumental songs. If interested the link in my signature takes you to my music, all free to listen to and download. My favorite bands are Soundgarden, Rx Bandits, White Rabbits, Chris Cornell, Alter Bridge, The Offspring, Linkin Park, Aceyalone, Eminem, and a bunch of others.

Shameless plug aside, you guys may wonder why I willingly call myself madpoopz. Well it stems from a joke from a long while ago and partially from my digestive troubles since getting my gall bladder removed. TMI, right?

Sports wise baseball is probably my first love. The readers here from BYB know this much about me. I got into basketball about the same time as I got into baseball. Basketball is definitely my number 2 sport though. The speed, the physicality, the pure athleticism needed to play. It all makes for a real enjoyable game. My favorite player on the current Pistons team is probably Rodney Stuckey. Seeing how many new faces are on this team, that could change real soon.

Just a couple of final points I forgot to mention. I’m 20 years old and I work in the deli at the Bay City Meijer and am currently single and not enjoying it.

Anything else you guys might be interested in knowing just let me know. I’m a pretty open guy.

Just moved to Milwaukee after living in Michigan my whole life. I’m 22 and figuring out what I want to do with the rest of my life. I love the Pistons, and when I was 4 years old, I could name the starting lineup for the 1989-90 championship team.

For about 6 years my family had season tickets to the Pistons, but this was back when they wore the teal jerseys and a .500 season was considered a success.

I didn’t buy into the Ben Gordon signing, but after watching him play, I’m starting to warm up to it.

But everyone calls me Sunshine. I go to Michigan Tech way up on da UP. Been a fan of a pistons since the 04 season, but i’m only 23.

Wasn’t a fan of bringing in Iverson because his attitude seemed to go completely against everything the pistons had been building for the last few years. I’m interested to see how our rookies will play this season, especially Daye. Out of the current roster, i’d have to say Prince is my favorite player (dang you dumars for not re-signing walter hermann!)

But yeah. i don’t know how often i’ll be on since i’m pretty busy with college and stuff, but i’ll be around. Eastern Conference Championship, here we come!

Ive been a pistons fan since I can remember. Im 33 so id say 33 years. I live in Traverse City up in the northern lower peninsula. I went to the 1st ever game at the palace which was between the Olympic All Stars and the NBA All stars in 1988 I think? We went because Traverse City native Dan Majerle was on the olympic team.

Basketball is one of my fav sports with Football Baseball and Soccer. My Favorite Pistons memory has to be a tie between the 3 NBA CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!! My fav player growing up was Joe Dumars and my current Fav piston would have to be Rodney Stuckey.

As far as this years pistons. Well I have high hopes of making it into the playoffs with a 4 seed but I think we make playoffs 100% I like what Joe D did by trading for Iverson last year which was clearly a move made to get Salary off the books. He then signed Charlie and Ben with the money saved. Now I hear some people say now we cant get any of the big names next year. Really? How many those guys are going to leave there teams? Most will resign except for James in NY and Bosh to hometown Houston. Great moves by Joe to get players this year and not waiting and hoping to get guys next year.

GO PISTONS!!!!

Hey guys.

Well, I’m Bryan. I’ll have my degree in journalism soon and live in The Hills of Rochester. I’m an editor/columnist over at Fake Teams, the fantasy blog. I’m also just starting over at MichiganPreps.com, which is Rivals.com’s Michigan prep site.

I’m a lifelong fan of anything Kansas City since I grew up there, but adopted the Pistons as my NBA team when I moved here. I believe I became a fan and started attending playoff games around 2001 (good timing), and my dad and I shared season tickets from 2004 (better timing) until last season. I’ve been fortunate enough to see quite a few games, and I can say that one of my favorite sports memories was attending the Lakers series and watching the Pistons win the Championship in 2004.

I hope readership picks up here. I’m not sure of many other Pistons blogs really, so this would be a good start.

My name is Rob. I’m 21 years old and currently a student at the University of Michigan. I grew up in Lansing and have been a fan of all the Detroit sports teams since I was born. And yes, my entire family is upset I didn’t go to MSU.

In my spare time the time I spend procrastinating from school and work, I write for two sites: Detroit4Lyfe and my personal project, The Gordie Howe Hat Trick. Both are shamelessly linked in my signature.

Unfortunately, I was that guy that thought the A.I. – Chauncey trade would bring a new energy to the team and give them a lift in the playoffs. Obviously, I was dead wrong. I have realized that my future is not as the GM of any sports franchise, as I was also wrong about the Edwin Jackson – Matt Joyce Trade the Tigers made last offseason. I thought the Red Wings would be ok with letting Marian Hossa, Jiri Hudler, and Mikael Samuelsson walk last year. Hopefully any bonehead predictions I make this year will spark some conversation among the readers of this site, or anywhere else on SB Nation I appear.

Hey my name’s Asad. I’m 20 years old, I go to Kalamazoo Valley Community College, though I went to Western Michigan the past 2 years. I’ve lived in Kalamazoo my whole life. I’m an accounting major hoping to finish up spring of 2011.

I became a sports fan in 2004 when my cousins from Detroit got me hooked on Detroit basketball. Since then I’ve gone onto college and became a die hard Broncos fan, but the Spartans hold a special spot in my heart being my first team of choice when I was in middle school but of course my college team wins out. Since 2004 I’ve moved on to root for all of Detroit sports teams even if I don’t watch them.

As for this season I’ve got mixed feelings about it. During camp I was excited and ready for it to start. After watching and looking at box scores of preseason I’m nervous for what we’re gonna see from this team. We’ve gotta get some defense from somewhere and I don’t know if Big Ben can bring it all season. On the other hand Gordon brings us much needed 3pt shooting. At best I think this team is a 4th seed second round team, at worst just missing the playoffs.

I’m not always one to comment on the blogs but I got my bookmarks of Pistons sites I check daily, so hopefully this can become the turning point and I’ll become an active commenter on here. HERE’S TO A GREAT SEASON!!!

As long as we’re getting friendly, I’m having some problems navigating the Mock GM League. Would anyone offer some help? It’d be much appreciated. I feel like navigating the thing is a pain in the ass.

My name is Matt, but since there are usually multiple Matts in every group and this is already no different, people usually call me Wags, Shwag, or Snarf. As you can tell by the signature when it comes to football I’m a Buffalo Bills Fan, and yes I have T.O. jersy…. slight pause for applause… anywho my family is originally from New York so for football and baseball it’s the Bills and Yankees….. allow for cheers…..

For a while I didn’t even follow Basketball, until 2002 then I became a diehard Pistons fan. Loved the fact that it was actual built team not just a star player and bunch of supporting players. I thinks it’s great someone put together a blog for the Pistons, i was already a member of the Bills blog, and it’s wonderous what a bunch of people with a passion for a team can put together, sure this will be the same thing.

Uh let’s see other stuff…. originally lived downstate near Monroe, went to school at Central Michigan University… and for all my Motown String Music brothers that went to Western, HOW ABOUT THEM CHIPPEWAS! 4 YEARS IN A ROW! Just kidding, I spent alot time in K-Zoo when I was going to community college so I can definately appreciate the good partying you guys do. Other than that I’m an “EZ Rock” dj in Frankfort, MI about 35 min south of Traverse City.

 so yeah I get down with Huey, Rod, Billy, Phil, and Mike Bolt (that’s Michael Bolton to those of you who aren’t in the know, by the way his new song written by Lady GaGa (Murder My Heart) – is Amazing!) Not quite the music I listen to but hey a job is a job.

Looking at the season, so many variables and changes don’t know what’s going to happen one main thing is that i hope the national media will stop ripping on Jason Maxiell, with the situation last year it’s not fair to say he’s unmotivated and lazy. Other than that looking forward to Wednesday, the blogosphere and yeah GO Pistons!

My name is Nick, and I live in Marysville, MI, which is right in the Port Huron area for those who don’t know. Basketball is by far my favorite sport, and ever since I was about 6 I have rooted the Rockets and the Pistons. Currently I am finishing up my associates at St. Clair County Community College, and after that I will be transferring to Central Michigan University in January where I will be majoring in Sports Management

Wanted to throw one other thing out their I was at the Pistons/Pacers brawl in 2004.. I yelled some mad shit at Jermaine O’Neal from the upper deck. Yeah he knew who was in charge. :^)

I mainly lurk. You guys know way more about basketball than I do and I guarantee any one of you would school me on the court.
I’m a fan of all the Detroit teams. I don’t get to go to many games of any of the teams. The last Pistons game I was at was when they played the Atlanta Hawks at their last year in the Silverdome.
I’m 35, born in Detroit, raised in the Brownstown/Gibraltar area, and currently live in Monroe doing apartment maintenance after many years of doing rough carpentry. I’m also a bassist on a temporary hiatus from music at the moment.

Good to see some familiar faces on here.
Basketball might rank 4th on my list of sports interests, or lower, but I’m still a Pistons fan for life, along with the other major Detroit teams, and Michigan sports. I’m 34 now, so that means I grew up with the Bad Boys, with the Celtic Wars, with the Lakers heartbreak in 88, and then finally, the glory years. Those finals happened when I was 14 and 15, and were touchstones of my youth.

I’m out in Madison, Wisconsin now, have been for the last 6 years (insert ‘geez how time flies’ comment here), so I’ve been watching the Bucks more than any team lately. I’m not really a fan of the Charlie V signing, because he’s a maddeningly inconsistent offensive semi-force, with subpar defensive capacity. But hey, you roll with the team your GM put together, and that’s what fell our way.

That said, I’ll be watching interestedly to see if what seems like a collection of spare parts, along with a new coach, might eventually gel into something that can win a few games.

It’s unfortunate that the Pistons are coming to Milwaukee on Halloween, and I’m gonna be far too gone to make the drive to Milwaukee. Got February 9th on the calendar already…

I was James B. on vintage DBB. Grew up just outside of Detroit in “THE SNOBBBBY CITY OF GROSSSSSSE POINTE” (think Mason’s intro for Tayshaun…in the gritty city of Compton) and have since moved to the NBA’s “Elephant Graveyard” also known as Seattle.

Despite having no local NBA team to spend exorbitant amounts of money on courtside seats to watch the Pistons play once a year, I still make my way down to Portland and have been sitting courtside the past two years. This year, my roommate and I got to met Blaha on the sidelines before the game and that coupled with the fantastic strip clubs (can you say $6 filet mignon that should be priced at $30+? AND strippers?) and a drunken night to not remember was the only way we could swallow the $380 courtside fee we paid to see them go down by 20 at the end of the 3rd and make it a game before losing a relatively close one in the end. We did get to call Oden and Juwan Howard “Gramps” though when they checked into the game in front of us…totally brought them down a peg or two.

True story. Outside of that I will likely become increasingly unpopular due to my personal opinion that the Pistons will ultimtaely be sold to Steve Ballmer and moved to Seattle becoming the Seattle Super Pistons by 2012 which is the only way I could ever continue to watch the NBA if the Pistons ever moved out of Detroit.

I am a Lions die-hard with the Pistons, Tigers and Wings coming in a close second. On the college front I root for MSU, though I am not a big college fan. I am 29 and I have been a Detroit sports junkie for the past 15 years, just wasn’t as involved in following the teams until I got into middle school.

Regarding the Pistons I believe Joe D has jumped the shark, which is an unpopular view on our blog here. lol

I was pleasantly surprised to see the changes to the site when I logged on today, no offense Packey but I prefer Detroit Bad Boys over Motown String Music. Even though MSM accurately sums up the current Pistons roster.

My name is Thom. I grew up in West Michigan (Grand Rapids-area) and am currently attending Denison University in Ohio. I like pretty much anything that’s Michigan sports-related, but the Pistons have always been my favorite.

I’m actually pretty happy for the switch, because it combined the Sports Blog Nation system (which I liked from reading Blogabull semi-regularly), and DBB’s great community. No offense to Packey, of course, I did read Motown String Music from time to time, but it didn’t really have a community like DBB’s. Anyway, I look forward to posting on the new site — hopefully while wearing my newly acquired Stuckey jersey.

Cheers.

I live in the flint area and im currently going to SVSU. I wrote on the Motown String Music blog and i write on Pride of Detroit. Pistons and Lions are my two favorite pro sports teams. Msu is my favorite college team. Looking forward to chatting wit you all

Hello all, The name is Mike. I am 20 years of age. I am a huge Pistons fan and a large NBA fan. I currently reside in Novi, MI. I really started being a fan in about the 2003 season and in the 2004-2005 season I can say that I went to or watched every game. Basketball has always been my first love, mainly because the whole politics, strategy and an eye for talent has come just naturally. (would have taken Chris Bosh over Darko in the draft that day) I like to think I am a realist when it comes to most things but I am definitely over confident about the Pistons in a lot of ways though.

I love talking about the Pistons and basketball in general too. If you have a question about anything, feel free to ask.
