Jonas Jerebko may be known now for his basketball talents, but what most people don’t know is that before basketball he was a prominent local musician. He was the guitarist for the Death Metal band Gorbath, which was very popular in his hometown, Kinna. Sadly they broke up before making any noise on the international…

Andre Drummond 17 Points/1 Free Throw Full Highlights (3/29/2013)
You know that funky rule where if a player who got fouled and gets to take free throws isn’t able to due to injury, that the opposing coach gets to choose whoever they want to take them? Yeah. It’s kind of a weird rule. Anyway, if that opposing team is the Pistons, you KNOW who’s…
Read MoreCharlie Villanueva 18 Points Full Highlights (3/23/2013)
I remember, about a month or so back, when the Pistons won a few games in a row on the strength of their bench. Their fans were all excited, talking about this new “bench mob” that they had, and even talked about what they had to do if they wanted to get the 8th seed….
Read MoreWill Bynum 23 Points Full Highlights (3/16/2013)
Will “Not Andrew” Bynum is pretty good for a little guy. In these highlights you see him do all kinds of crazy stuff to get himself open for shots. Bynum is not content to get assisted on open jumpers; he would rather beat you off the dribble and foray fearlessly into the land of the…
Read MoreKhris Middleton Career High 14 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2013)
Khris “K-Mid” Middleton is so bad that he can’t even get minutes on the not-very-good Pistons. At least that’s how it was up until a few games ago, when they started playing him, presumably to lose more games. Tanking is serious business. You can’t pussyfoot around. But it almost all went disastrously wrong when Khris…
Read MoreBrandon Knight Career High 32 Points Full Highlights (2/27/2013)
Brandon “Valiant” Knight got injured a few games ago. While he was out, the Pistons lost every game. And then he comes back, and, surprise, the Pistons win again. Although don’t tell the Wizard’s commentators. I’m pretty sure they still think the Wizards won. That shot by Ariza did look good from the TV angle….
Read MoreJonas Jerebko 21 Points Full Highlights (2/25/2013)
A few years ago I saw something that interested me. It was a list of the best-selling NBA jerseys for each team.The usual suspects were there: Kobe, LeBron, Durant. But the one for the Pistons was odd. Surely it would be Tayshaun Prince or Rip Hamilton or someone good, right? Wrong. It was Jonas Jerebko….
Read MoreViacheslav Kravtsov 8 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (2/19/2013)
Viacheslav Kravtsov has a funny name. At least to me, an American. I guess in Ukraine it’s a perfectly reasonable name. But from my point of view it’s just a mess of unpronounceable consonants. His nickname “Slava” just flows a lot better. But who cares about his name’s abundance of postalveolar sibilants? This isn’t a…
Read MoreCharlie Villanueva 21 Points/2 Blocks (2/8/2013)
Remember when Charlie Villanueva went crazy and chased Ryan Hollins all through the hallways of the Palace? I don’t even remember what Hollins did. Probably called him a cancer patient or something. Anyway, if my recollection is correct, Villanueva eventually cornered Hollins in the visitor’s locker room and slapped him in the nads, all while…
Read MoreJose Calderon 15 Points/3 Assists Pistons Debut Full Highlights (2/4/2013)
Jose Calderon is a divisive player. Is he good or not? Raptors fans couldn’t decide. A good portion think that he pounds the ball too much, is too slow to set up an offense, and his assists are often the result of rushed attempt near the end of the shot clock. Another portion think that…
