How unnatural does this pic look? Makes you wish it was photoshopped, but sadly it’s not. I got used to Ben in the Bulls red and black pretty easily, but this is stomach turning. He’s not even wearing his trademark 3 (that’s being worn by Aleksandar Pavlovic).
Big Ben put up pretty respectable numbers in his first game as one of King James’ pawns. Wallace had a 12 point (5/6 FG), 10 board double-double. He also had a pair of steals and a block in a 89-109 win over the Grizz. It was Ben’s first double-double in 21 games (sorry Chi fans).
We’ll get our first look at the new-look Benny Paychecks on March 19th when the real Pistons travel down to C-Town to take on Dan Gilbert’s bizarro Pistons.
More interesting though might be the game on March 6th when the Cavs go to Chicago to take on the Bulls where Ben got booed as a member of their own team. Some are even calling him the biggest bust in Chicago sports history. Thankfully it’ll be nationally televised game on TNT.
The Nuggets are currently tied with Golden State for the 8th and final playoff spot in the ultra-competitive Western Conference, where as if the were in the East they’d be in 4th. The Nuggets are currently on a two game slide losing after a couple of frustrating games, the first in Chicago and then in Milwaukee. So, you have to assume they’re happy to be back at the Pepsi Center. The Pistons will be looking to hand the Nuggets their season high 3rd loss in a row.
