Cavs all time champs of NBA Draft Lottery
May 21, 2013 by 2 Comments
The NBA Draft Lottery was held Tonight and we found out the Cleveland Cavs will pick first in the 2013 NBA Draft.
The Cavs have been lucky enough to get No. 1 pick 3 times in 11 years. However, the Cavs have also been bad enough to get No. 1 pick three times in 11 years.
Unlike last year when Anthony Davis was the clear cut top prospect, a number of players are in consideration this year including Kentucky‘s Nerlens Noel, Ben McLemore of Kansas, and even Michigan‘s Trey Burke or Georgetown‘s Otto Porter. More than likely, team need will play a huge factor in terms of which player hears their named called first on June 27th.

February 22, 2013 by 1 Comment
The NBA Trade Deadline came and went without any star players changing homes. It was less entertaining than this season of American Idol… and that’s saying something. In fact, the “biggest” name to be traded was J.J. Redick who went from Orlando to Milwaukee. Ish. Here are the winners and losers of the 2013 NBA Trade Deadline.

If you haven’t noticed Detroit Pistons in-arena hostess Erin Nicole yet, you won’t forget the name after seeing this post today. The singer, actress, spokesmodel continues the tradition of hot girls named Erin in sports media, and models becoming “journalists.”
I’m sure you’ll enjoy her appearance in the promo for a “Naughty Schoolgirl” night after the jump. She also does traffic reports or something for the ABC affiliate in Detroit.
Detroit Pistons unlikely to break playoff drought
October 10, 2012 by Leave a Comment
The Sports Bank will be counting down to the opening tip of the 2012-13 NBA season with team by team previews starting with the worst and working our way to the title contenders. There is no lockout this time around so let’s get going.
The Detroit Pistons are still suffering from some recent poor financial decisions made by general manager Joe Dumars that has held back the franchise (i.e. the Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva off-season along with the fact that Richard Hamilton still accounts for $5.5 million of their cap this year.) Like the past three seasons, Detroit figures to fall short of the playoff picture.
