I never really stopped to think about it, but its true. Last year, we stayed the same and Miami changed to stop us, now the rolls are completely reversed.

As for Mr.D's comments, I wouldn't call it "bored", but "complacent" for sure. Hopefully the shock of being manhandled this post season will turn out to be the best thing for this franchise.

Rasheed replaces Ben in the Palace Locker Room Store.

Hello? Ben Wallace jerseys for $20?

How fitting that the Ben Wallace Championship jersey is a Sell Out. Just like the player.

I dug this one up out of the archive. The quote that launched quit a few posts this past weekend.

Quote:

When you are picking as far down as we were (26th overall) and with the type of team we have, the most critical thing becomes making sure you add somebody that fits into your culture and environment," Pistons president Joe Dumars said. "We feel this guy has the same DNA as the rest of the Pistons."

Carefull though. I could only find the printable version so make sure you don't print it out by mistake.

The SuperDuperStar Theory

GMs still do not appreciate the importance of getting a SuperDuperStar. Many are satisfied collecting talented pieces with the hope they become greater than the sum of their parts. Over the last 25 years, however, only one team has been able to win an NBA Championship without a SuperDuperStar.

Interesting article which looks at the superstar effect in a statistical way.
