I bet you didn’t know that the Pistons best off-season acquisition was not Ben Gordon or Charlie Villanueva, but T.J. Lottie, Richard Hamilton’s wife, whom he married in July this past summer. She has a killer jumper.
Okay, maybe she wasn’t the best and maybe she didn’t lead the PIstons to a victory at all, but she did convince her new hubby to stop being such a baby and to play basketball on Saturday against the Warriors:
“It wasn’t feeling right, but I went home and my wife told me to stop feeling sorry for myself and to get out there and play,” he said. “I haven’t practiced, I haven’t run, I haven’t done sprints or anything like that, but I decided to go ahead and play.”
Hamilton wound up scoring 18 points in the win over the Warriors. He scored five consecutive points in a key spot with four minutes remaining in the game to put the Pistons up seven and for good.
The win was Detroit’s 5th in a row. Now if we can get the significant others of Will Bynum, Ben Gordon, and Tayshaun Prince to step up and tell their men to play, the Pistons could be one dangerous squad.
