Here's an interview with richard hamilton it's pretty good

Five questions with Pistons guard Rip Hamilton:

Q: You guys have had almost a whole season to adjust to this now, so have you finally reached the point as a team where everyone understands the reasons management felt like it had to trade Chauncey [Billups] for [Allen] Iverson?

A: When it first happened, it was tough for everybody. It was a hard thing to get over. We just play basketball. We don't look at the business part of it, what's going to happen in a couple years, money [considerations] and all those things. So it's really hard to look at it that way. But as you sit back and try to take all your emotions out of it, you kind of see why moves have been made.

Q: Is it true that when you signed your contract extension [in early November] that you didn't know the Chauncey trade was in the works?

A: I didn't know it was going down.

Q: Would it have changed your decision if you had known he was leaving?

A: (Laughing) Who told you to ask me that question?

Like I've said [before], Detroit was a city that changed my whole career around. I want to be here. I want to retire here. One day I want to get my name and my jersey put up in the rafters. I couldn't see myself playing anywhere else. No matter who's here.

Q: Do you guys worry that Rasheed [Wallace] will be the next one to go or talk about what else might change this summer?

A: I can't even think about that, man. This season's been so crazy, with all the different things that've been going on. Your mind can't even go that far. Your mind can only focus on this season, figuring out a way for us to get healthy and try to make a run for the playoffs.

Q: How nervous do you think Orlando is about seeing you guys in the first round?

A: I don't think they want to see us to tell you the truth, just from the simple fact [of] the success we've had [against them] over the last couple years. But we're just trying to get in right now. This is so odd for me. … It's absolutely crazy to me that we're just fighting to be in the playoffs.

It's been a roller-coaster season all year with all the different changes. We just have to hope that we get hot at the right time, because anything can happen when you've got a group of veteran guys.

Well Dumars is to blame too, but Curry should of put him on the bench WAY earlier.

Curry isn't a very good coach at all.

 

[DC4]

B-easy played a great game last night but they lost..Man they need to turn it back on.

 

[Mexi]

Lakers were crap in the first half
down 62-48 at halftime, then in the 2nd half they just overwhelmed the bulls

I like Farmar again too lol
and Vujabrick is gone. He's the machine again

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

LOL.

 

[Mexi]

"Take that LeBron"
YES! this was a lot better than LeBrons group photo. lets see something new King

 

[The Young One]

Wack shaq can do better than this. Mexi your just mad the lakers didnt come up with it. SMH at the thought of puke walton and sasha vujabrick being in something with swag like this.

 

[playmaker7]

Has anyone besides the Lakers beat the LeBrons at home?

 

[The Young One]

Be quiet bandwagon fan. How about your suns? Only laker fans here are mexi and whisper.

 

[playmaker7]

...

Has anyone besides the Lakers beat the LeBrons at home?

 

[The Young One]

I dont believe so.

Tell me who has homecourt advantage though?

 

[MapleLeaf]

[RipCity32]

Pistons take on the Heat today. This could be a HUGE win for us.

 

[DC4]

To bad you guys are going to lose.

 

[RipCity32]

Wouldn't doubt it. We won't have Sheed or Rip I believe..

If we did, you guys would be screwed.

Don't underestimate us though. Kwame and Herrmann have stepped up without Rip and Sheed.

 

[MapleLeaf]

Walter's going for 33 with

10-11 from 3's with him getting fouled as time expired and he nails all 3 FT's to win the game

 

[RipCity32]

Lol, I agree :]

Heat look like complete butt hole right now.

 

[The Young One]

Kwame is improving his hands arent mediocre no more. He's finishing strong Ive been impressed.

 

[RipCity32]

Yeah I know. But Curry decides to take him out for Maxiell. Then the Heat start coming back.

It's obvious his big body is helping us a lot right now.
