About Justin »

I'm currently a sophomore at Michigan State University, but reside in Metro Detroit, where I was born and raised. Besides being the one and only Clippers fan, I am a fan of and follow the Pistons, Tigers, Spartans, Red Wings and Blue Jays. I've played both basketball and baseball since I was three years old and competitively right up until I graduated from high school. Until recently, I never considered journalism as a possible career path, but after wandering into the world of sports journalism and getting a job as a writer for my previous school's newspaper, a journalism career has become more of a possibility. I've been fortunate to have articles featured on both ESPN.com and CBSSports.com and only have the folks at Bleacher Report to thank.

New Article: Despite Injuries, The Detroit Pistons Are Still Underachieving

published by Justin Sucher

When a team loses its two best players to injuries, there's a very noticeable difference in the way a team performs without said players...

As a Knicks Featured Columnist, I will be making periodical attempts to give fans an inside look at the different aspects of Knicks games. Take a look at what I came up with when Lebron James came to visit.

That might be a good argument to add to the article then.

But still, I feel there is a valid counter-argument. Perhaps the team is making the playoffs despite Leyland, rather than because of him? Perhaps the pitching trio you spoke of is carrying the team?
