Boney, surely you didn’t call Colbert (or was it Stewart?) a “Craig Kilborn-wannabe”. That imples that Kilborn is somehow greater than either of those two, does it not? Regardless of your previously voiced displeasure for Stewart/Colbert, you do realize that Craig Kilborn is horrible, right? Only Craig Ferguson could’ve possibly made a worse host for The Late Late Show than his predecessor. It’s like Michael Ian Black and D.L. Hughley didn’t even audition.

Amir’s doing a great job of staying in front of people, while using his length to make shots difficult. He’s not fouling nearly as much as he used to, which is very reassuring. Samb is a freak.
I don’t know if they even care anymore, but I wonder what the Minnesota media had to say about their team getting run by our second- and third-string. They’ve probably come to expect it, but yeeeessh…

I think Colbert is vastly overrated, but I think Stewart is great.

Pistonian,

Colbert is overrated and enjoyed by those that sit around and stroke it to the tones of John Stewart and his Craig Kilborn-wannabe show. Colbert is the one who is asinine with his regurgitated political humor that pretty much lines up with his horrible sarcasm, poor joke delivery and re-hashed humor.

I, as a non-right or left winger and also someone who enjoys a good chortle every now and again should laugh all day at someone like Stephen Colbert. Yet all I do is sit there and shake my head that this ass gets more and more airtime.

wolf howl was ill-timed to say the least.

walter hermann looks like he’s playing with a volleyball. even that guy seems like he should get in more games. joe d. has assembled a flat-out ridiculous squad.

Ha, I have a note on the Wolf howl in the summary I’m prepping for this one.

(1) I had the same reacatino as Rob G. to the “wolf howls” that seemed to come at inappropriate times.

(2) Great to see Stuckey have such a great game, and some of the other “zoo crew” too (although I guess we’ll have to live with Jarvis being inconsistent).

(3) I still wonder about this strategy, in terms of making sure Detroit has a better record than the top teams in the West in case of an NBA finals matchup. The Hornets and Lakers won last night, and had the Pistons lost, those teams would all be pretty close to being tied. But hey, the Pistons won.

I couldn’t watch the game last night so I followed it on my cell phone, NOT knowing that the big 3 were not even dressed. My mind couldn’t grasp the numbers that were coming back at me. April fools joke indeed. Glad we got the W and it makes total sense to rest those cats until Friday.

Almost everyone says that Amir is too light to guard the bigger bigs that is where Theo would do a better job for us.

I have posted before that I think that he needs to add about 15-20 lbs of muscle.

In last nights game is Amir played a lot of minutes and did a real good job defensively. He did this working with Dyess, Maxie and Cheikh.

The three T-Wolves bigs are

Jefferson 255 lbs
Smith 275 lbs
Gomes 250 lbs

We basically shut down their bigs last night when Amir was in. Jefferson did almost all of his damage against Theo and Dyess.

Now Smith and Gomes are not exactly all stars by Jefferson is definitely no slouch.

Recently against Toronto Amir showed he could guard Bosh
More recently in the few minutes that he played against the Wiz he did a very good job on Jamison.

Neither of those two guys are exactly slouches.

Yes KG did light up Amir in their first match up but then KG has lit up a lot of guys over his career.

Encouraging recent performances by Amir against some of the bigger and better bigs.

Pistonian Revolution, you’re spot on with that no-name dude’s video… to lump Colbert in with Carrot-top and Sagat is a disgrace to comedy. Colbert’s humor is so thickly layered with backhanded compliments, self deprecation, and mockery of our government that no one can appreciate the full spectrum of his genius… not even Colbert.

As far as the game went… didn’t see it. Nice to get a win with our 4th-15th players playing against their 1st-9th.

Stuckey has a awful lot of talent and is hard worker and quick
learner. He should have a really excellent career.

Man oh man. I love the fact that Stuckey is figuring out this whole jump shot thing. Awesome!

Watching the game on TiVo - what’s with the wolf howl when the Pistons draw a foul? It’s so weird - it’s like they’re celebrating fouling the other team.
