Some front-line scoring would help the Pistons' backcourt, which has carried the load so far this season. Off-season acquisition Charlie Villanueva is about the only scoring threat in the post for the Pistons, who get a bulk of their points from guards Ben Gordon, Rodney Stuckey and Will Bynum. Ben Wallace (3.6 points) isn't supposed to score. His assignment is to play defense, rebound...
Shannon Brown has been known to posterize a player or two in his young NBA career. Word has gotten around in the league too. Most of the time when he’s coming down the lane now, guys have been giving him the “And1″ treatment (Actually, that’s par for the course in the NBA). But Jason [...]
The Pistons didnt get buried early, and Will Bynum and Jason Maxiell led a late rally, but 10 bad seconds midway through the second quarter sparked the Lakers to a 15-point halftime lead that soon became 28.

Temper, temper: In the fourth quarter, Pistons' Jason Maxiell, who scored 13 points and grabbed seven rebounds, cleanly blocked a breakaway dunk attempt from former MSU star Shannon Brown. Maxiell and Andrew Bynum later picked up technical fouls for jawing with each other.
Jason Maxiell and his five rides are featured at the Motor Trend Web site. In the article, Maxiell talks of his love of the American car industry. The main ride featured is his black Ford F-450, and he also talks about two other trucks and his two vintage cars (a 1973 Chevy Caprice and a 1970 Olds Cutlass Supreme). But he has a special place in his heart for his trucks. "I love my truck,"...

I, as well as many of you, read the blurb over the summer about Jason Maxiell getting hitched to his longtime fiance Brandi. What I never remember reading about was how Brandi was an ovarian cancer survivor and that Jason helped her beat the disease. Remember a couple of years ago when Maxy was sporting the [...]

With Ben Wallace and Kwame Brown out, Jonas Jerebko, Jason Maxiell and Chris Wilcox got a chance to stake their claim to playing time. But leaky defense muddled the picture as the Pistons lost to Minnesota. Read more at True Blue Pistons.
Two games and a handful of practices are all thats left for John Kuester to make tough decisions on his frontcourt rotation. Among the tough calls: Where in the pecking order are Jason Maxiell, Chris Wilcox and Jonas Jerebko?
Ted Kuflan of the Detroit News says JONAS JEREBKO, who started on Saturday against the Grizzlies, has moved in front of CHRIS WILCOX and JASON MAXIELL in the rotation. Speaking of JASON MAXIELL, where has he gone? He’s pretty much been M.I.A. this preseason. In the last three games he’s combined for 6 points & 6 [...]
