Pistonfan on July 10, 2009 at 12:54 pm

gMac on July 10, 2009 at 2:20 pm
Natalie, is it me or you actually had a very very light shades outlining his eyebrow??
If you look at the cartoon long enough, you can see the eyebrows.
Mike on July 10, 2009 at 2:24 pm
I love the Vill cartoon, it cracks me up. I mean, it is very well done, it just looks so funny, probably because the lack of eyebrows.

Charlie still needs to work on winning me over.
So we have 2 pg, 3 sg, 4 sf, 2 pf, and 1 center (Mr. Kwame Brown). Who exactly is our back up center?? Jason Maxiell, I suppose? Probably Austin Daye.
Blam on July 10, 2009 at 5:31 pm
they should of brought marcin gortat but nobody was listening and now mavericks will win the championship
Adam on July 10, 2009 at 6:02 pm
Oh we're playing this game? Nat YOU are the twitterholic. Guess I could always unfollow Bosh to help the cause. PS-if you want to follow a fellow fan and detroit immigrant hit me up at AdamBlakeRoth people!
Natalie Sitto on July 10, 2009 at 6:34 pm
Wow you're good gMac. I did put subtle shading on there to bring out the definition in his face…SCORE
Still don't know if I'm sold on the toon, may give it another go.
kyg on July 10, 2009 at 7:37 pm
CV should have Bosh wear a pistons uniform on utube when he wins
Ryan on July 11, 2009 at 8:51 am

Scott on July 11, 2009 at 8:10 pm
Natalie are you going to do another screen saver of the players, once the roster is announced???
junior on July 11, 2009 at 10:08 pm
backup center is going to be jerebko, he has been playing the 5 in summer league and doing a very good jb at it, he is 6'10" tall enough. o did anyone hear the rumor about us sending aaron afflalo to denver for…..NOTHING in return? is joe d trying to make the nuggets a championship team or the pistons? we need to keep AA he is young athletic a very good defender and he is really starting to develop a3 point range. dam
afflalo is going to be crossed off next. heard we are sending him to denver for nothing in return, so we can offer 3.5 mill to glen davis, bad move. dont do it joe d
did cv31 win?
What? Well first we won't offer 3.5 to Davis, Boston would match that in a heartbeat, second we'll have about 5.5 mil (a bit more than the MLE), when we pull the move off. And how si this a bad move? I love Afflalo but Big Baby did more this season and we are stacked at the SG position, especially with Deron Washington. This move would be great for us, especially since Glen Davis is so young.
Nobody won yet.
vanessa on July 12, 2009 at 3:24 am
it's until one of them reaches 50,000 followers.

natalie this link says sources say that pistons rejected offer that will swap tayshaun for boozer
Malcom on July 12, 2009 at 10:43 am
By the way just wanted to say I love how other sites blatantly copy off of need4sheed a pistons site with red "no" slashes through a cartoon. I wont mention the site but PLEASE be original.
I have noticed it before but it's over the top at this point. Just had to say it because I have been a fan of nat's originality for a long time.
As for Tay for Boozer..I would have done it in a second.
Oh and I signed up for Twitter just to help Charlie V …keep going with this Nat.
Go Charlie!
Amber on July 12, 2009 at 12:03 pm
Oh, really? I didn't know that about Jonas. I thought he was a SF. I suppose Joe likes players playing out of position though.
Yep, I heard that about Afflalo. It's sad, but not as bad as losing Rip.
Joe D. is trying to make everyone else a championship team, besides us. That's why our players are officially scattered out everywhere.
It's horrible because Glen Davis is disgusting and not Pistons material! NO Celtics are Pistons material! I despise all of them.
Ok, the video is just stupid.
You don't see Maxiell making bets with anyone for twitter followers. He's probably in the gym practising his jump shot….
Meng on July 12, 2009 at 3:13 pm
or learning how to spell
Why doesnt the Pistons site have this. They should it will be a sure win than.
What si Chris boshs name on Twitter. I want to keep track of who has more tweets.
gergerh on July 12, 2009 at 5:12 pm
BTW, real news
Rips looking to get traded
thedukecapone on July 12, 2009 at 7:55 pm
Source? And even if he does want to get traded nobody is going to want his heavy contract
junior on July 12, 2009 at 9:39 pm
u r right about the 5.5 iwas saying we were going to use afflalos 3.5 in addition to what we already have, sorry i worded it wrong
man why you on a celtic web site? traitor. lol
Dominic on July 12, 2009 at 9:52 pm
Wow, you guys are seriously misinformed. Sure we're sending Aaron Afflalo to Denver and receiving nothing in return, but Denver has a trade exception that will send 3.5 million in cap to Detroit. This coupled with the 2mil left over from the original 19mil or so will allow us to sign a good 2nd tier free agent. I here interest is high for Glen "Big Baby" Davis. I wouldn't say no to Zaza Pachulia either. Considering how stacked the 2 spot is and Glen Davis being a better player than Afflalo (at least stat-wise) this is an excellent trade if pulled off and nothing anybody should be dissapointed about.
Aight no worries
Really? And why, may I ask is Glen Davis not "Piston Material"? He's a hustle player that'll get garbage buckets and rebound, he won't swat much away and does seem a bit outspoken but he's still a great bench player. Look at the stats, 7 pts 4 rebs in just 21 mins of playing time, that's a pretty good addition to a thin bench in my opinion.
Wow, way to totally bring this out of context, it's just a friendly competition between two players, it's not like he's constantly refreshing his twitter page searching for new followers, it only takes about 20 seconds to post a new tweet via phone, so leave him alone, it's good that he connects with his fans.
Ryan on July 12, 2009 at 11:22 pm
It's his name: chrisbosh.
Colton Keck on July 13, 2009 at 12:26 am
because he's a bitch , any man thats crys about what garnett Tells him is a bitch, remember garnett ran away from dyess all over the court haha.
Pistons are done until we find a new gm ,you wouldnt trade tay sorry ass for boozer ? and drafted Daye , really
Both men entered the league the same year (drafted in 2002).
Tayshaun Prince has played 82 games for 6 years straight.
Last year, Carlos Boozer played 37 games.
Tayshaun has 102 more games for his career than Boozer (regular season). That's a whole season plus 20.
Tayshaun Prince does not get injured. He's a tough, tough player, and is extremely durable on the court. Not to mention, he's one of the best defenders in the league.
Carlos Boozer is injury prone, and isn't the greatest on the defensive end.
That would be trading a great defensive player who plays 82 games a year for a guy who's always injured and isn't the greatest defender.
Plus, that would leave a starting spot at small forward open. The Pistons would have to either put a shooting guard at that spot or give the starting job to a draft pick.
Also, Austin Daye has been doing a fine job in the Summer League. DaJuan Summers looks like an incredible steal at this point.
But keep knocking the GM. Without him, the Pistons would have 0 championships to their credit.
ryan ricafort on July 13, 2009 at 2:23 am
agreed. if you divide their salaries per game they actually played, boozer is disgustingly overpaid.
Sleepy Crayfish on July 13, 2009 at 9:36 am
The Shane Marcado? I'm liking CV more and more each day…
Jay on July 13, 2009 at 11:13 am
if it wasnt for tayshaun the pistons wouldnt even won the championship, because tayshaun blocked reggie miller, when we were only up by one point. if he would've made the lay up the game wouldve been over, and the pacers wouldve made it to the nba finals
I will be devastated. It is awful.
Edna on July 13, 2009 at 4:17 pm
He should be practicing free throws, not "Tweeting." Seriously, people…someone please talk to this guy.
junior on July 15, 2009 at 12:47 am
i know that but how do we get the numbers? i have no twitter account
right you are. i still get goosebumps watching that block. my fav of all time
who is winning the twwet?
jim calhoon on July 17, 2009 at 11:21 am
GO CHRIS CHARLIE
luay on July 21, 2009 at 9:08 pm
i think that we should really be getting player who will impact the team. because ben gordan will always let his immotions get the better of him, and i dont think that will help us. we alrwady had one iverson we dnt need another one. plus he is off and on. i think that drew gooden should be our target. he knows what to do as a dominent PF.
