Pistons will try to take advantage of playing at home - MLive article by A. Sherrod Blakely

Different looks await Wade - Freep article by Perry A. Farrell

Pistons thoughts: They will need big games out of Billups and Hamilton to turn this series back around. Both have struggled, but some home cooking could just be what they need.

Boras could play role in Tigers’ draft - Detroit News article by Lynn Henning

Ordonez not expected back until after the All-Star break - MLive article by Danny Knobler

Tigers thoughts: They are in a funk, to say the least. Look for some changes soon, especially at first base, where Carlos Pena is hitting .177. Chris Shelton is tearing it up at Toledo and could get a long look by the big club.

Laimbeer interviews with Knicks - Freep article by Krista Latham

Shock thoughts: Not the kind of distraction a team needs, but I don’t believe Laimbeer is a serious candidate for the job. He will eventually get his NBA shot, but not with New York and not this soon. The Shock are off to a strong 3-0 start.
