Good call. I wouldn't have considered this otherwise.

Blog content
Have you ever checked out nbaplaybook.com?
Sebastian Pruiti, the author of that site, focuses on the X's and O's a little bit and breaks down how and why plays work. I don't know how deep your technical expertise goes, but if you know bball concepts, understand the game and have somewhat of a basic scouting report for most players in the league, it may be worth a shot.
As a bball fan, I've always been searching for some form of analysis beyond the generic 'worked harder, better chemistry, fire dumars/kuester, GET BACK TO DETROIT BASKETBALL' type of analysis.
Something in that type of format, but strictly Pistons-based would fit a niche that DBB and Piston Powered largely don't cover.

Not before you mentioned it,
Not before you mentioned it, but now it's one of my bookmarks.
I'm very concerned with the technical side of the game. If you ever see me yelling at the TV it's because we aren't taking advantage of a mismatch (or are being bullied by one), are refusing to ride the hot hand (or aren't adjusting to an opponent that is killing us), or because the rotations/pace/lineups are being mismanaged.
I do intend to glean insight into the new Pistons' playbook, which was difficult to do with Kuester despite his reputation as an offensive genius.

Here's the first post I am confident in sharing!

The layout still sucks, and I have no idea how to get rid of those little pink flowers next to each post, but I wanted to share the content with anybody interested. Let me know what you think, and get some.

Suggestion: provide links.
Suggestion: provide links. You cited some stats and listed some websites - add in the links to the pages where those stats are. You also used some terminology - links to definitions would be nice.
Also you listed Dennis Rodman and Bill Laimbeer as the starting big men for the Pistons (first two) championship teams. I would say it was Laimbeer and Mahorn and Laimbeer and James Edwards. Rodman started 8 games in 88-89 and 43 in 89-90 - IIRC probably at small forward (though there may have been times in those seasons when he guarded big men). Salley probably started when Mahorn and Edwards didn't.
And, dude, what's up with those flowers? (j/k - but I couldn't let that slide)

Thanks. Ugh, the inclusion
Thanks. Ugh, the inclusion of Rodman was the relic of a previous draft (I was editing the post in two open tabs), but thanks. I'm more concerned with content at the moment and am glad that you caught that.
I'm going to pretend that the flowers are there to appeal to the female demographic :-P

Here are three posts I wrote today:

Darko is brought up every time Joe has had a lotto pick and is a cautionary tale for all players considered at #2.

Statistical backup for my insistence on selecting Bismack Biyombo if available.

Mock top 8 picks.
In related news: the official Pistons.com mock draft has them selecting my homeboy from Congo.
