Let us know. Thanks!

Roscoe, I plan on driving over in the morning and should be there for games 2-4 (Mavs/sonics, Grizz/China and Celtics/Blazers) and then again on Saturday for the first two games Warriors/Hornets and Pistons/Sixers. Probably will be it as I have to see George Wallace saturday night and probably skip Sundays games and hang out somewhere else. I can take pictures...what else you need??

Dre, you are great. If you could PM The Low, I am sure you could hook up with him, and maybe congo too as he will be there for a couple days.

I'm hoping to get lots of photos and that's not easy for The Low to do while he is taking notes and watching the game. Photos and moral support for The Low would be wonderful.

Keith Langlois at Pistons.com has an update on how practices are going in Vegas.

Quote:

Porter interspersed the two-hour evening workout with shooting drills in which pairs of Pistons would attempt to make 21 perimeter shots as quickly as possible. Stuckey and Afflalo were easy winners both times.

“He’s a lot stronger than I thought,” Porter said of Stuckey, who will start at point guard with Afflalo at his side. “I’d seen some tape, but he really does a good job of getting into the paint and being able to hold his own when he gets a bump, makes the pass when necessary or finishes at the basket.”

Maxiell also mentioned Stuckey’s strength and finishing ability as highlights of the first few practices.

“He’s a strong guard,” said Maxiell, participating in the Summer League of his own volition. “I like his game. He’s strong, he’s athletic, he gets to the rim and he’ll finish every time.”

TrueHoop lists our young guys as one of the top ten things to watch for in Vegas:

Quote:

Chauncey Billups says it's no secret that then Jason Maxiell gets the ball, he has bad intentions. He wants to dunk it even when he has no business dunking it. I support that. The Piston squad also features Rodney Stuckey who promises to be one of the most exciting guards in what is traditionally a guard's league. Piston fans have been hanging their hopes on Amir Johnson for some time, who some have compared to a young Kevin Garnett. Former UCLA standout Arron Afflalo will be making his pro debut, too.

What about Alex? Is he going to be invited to training camp to try out for a spot, or is he fading out of our picture.

I love that they are practicing and hopefully will play as a 4 man unit. Defend agressively and rebound and run.
