Detroit plays Minny at the Palace tommorow. If the Pistons drop THAT one, then we can all jump on them.
KR, Nets sucked the Pistons tonight.

he was mad maybe because of this:Chill...it's only your teams SIXTH loss of the season.
Detroit began the evening as one of two Eastern Conference teams with a winning record at home and on the road. Miami was the other. San Antonio, Dallas and Phoenix own the distinction in the West ...
With a win, Detroit would have come within a victory of matching the franchise-record 13-game streak set in 1989-90 and equaled in 2003-2004.
The Pistons also would have finished 14-1 in January, their best record ever for that month ...
well...
Krstic is light years better than those 2 and he's only 23. He did a great job against the Wallaces.
I would have liked 15-1 for the month, but by and large I don't give a toss about winning streaks. (Now, streaks of holding teams <70 get me WAY geeked, but those days are gone...). Mainly I'm pissed that our All-Star-caliber PF, who can hold his own head-to-head with players like Duncan and Garnett, seemed to have some allergy to posting up. Also, this touched a deep insecurity of mine, 'cause part of this gaudy 37-6 record was built on hot 3-point shooting, and that's a house built on sand....
That stuff killed the Spurs those Laker years, nobody made a three, Lakers threw all 5 guys at Timmy. Steve Smith, Danny Ferry, Hedo Turgoglu, Bruce Bowen. All shot flat in the POs after having some alright reg seasons.
Thank you New Jersey!
When Detroit loses you can usually blame on their three point shooting. In half of there losses they have shot 20+ threes in the game and made about only 20-25% of them. The other three losses they were around the low 30's in percentage. They are almost like the Rockets when they won back to back with Kenny Smith, Horry, Cassell and Elie jacking up the three. Yeah defense is their thing but they do like the three ball.
What is it about the last day of the month. They dropped on to Cleveland this time in December.
Pistons haven't lost back-to-back games this season. Anybody think they'll start?
And with good reason. Name me a starter outside Ben Wallace who can't make one? Name me a contributing bench member outside McDyess? Exactly.
The team is built to use the three effectively. Looks like the Pistons didn't execute past their second or third option tonight.
I wanted to see a streak of at least 12, going for 14 (break the franchise mark). In every season the Pistons have made it to the Finals, they have a streak of at least 12 games.
What is happening to Big Benny? Is he still has some injury problems?
He's actually done a good job this season with the 3's until the last 3 games but that's still too many 3's (unless he's making them)! He's got a good post-up game, Sheed should have taken it there more often.
This game was exactly why I am not losing my mind over the Pistons.
They shoot waaaaaaaaay too many 3's. I hate it.
But they have been making them all season. This last game, very horrid. When a whole team minus the PG are 2/21 from downtown, would that be an indicator to take it to the paint?
guess not.
Things do have a way of regressing to the mean.
Nope. I almost feel bad for the Twolves. My guess is Sheed will be so mad he'll have a monster game against KG.
I ing hate Rod Thorn. That asshole probably didn't know Krstic from a hole in the ground before draft night. I think that somehow, information got leaked from our usually tight lipped front office and we paid a high price for it.
Spurs got a little payback the next year when they signaled openly that they were high on Planicic.
FreshPrince check out your PM.
I think Big Ben has a lost a half a step. He was at his best 2 years ago.
The ref job was not the greatest...Ben was frustrated with them. He was held or pushed with no foul called. One of the first plays I do believe Ben was shoved from behind with no call, even though it was blatant, but that may have been the game before.
But those refs. They called all the ticky tack fouls, but let the physical stuff go. We just didn't get very physical.
I am not using refs as an excuse. Rasheed on offense looked like he had never touched a ball, Rip and Prince were horrid, although Rip was held alot. All in all, a total team loss(outside Billups). New Jersey outplayed them, and we still had a chance to win, even with us playing like .
pistons needed a little wake up call again. i'm expecting a blowout even though it's the second game of a back to back. this team does very good after a loss. it's good to have a team beat you sometimes if you're playing well to get you back to reality, indianapolis colts.
Theme for tonight: The Wrath of Sheed. Long night for KG coming up if Sheed feels like he's got something to prove (and he does, boy does he)
OTOH, I don't think we're going to blank Davis this time; he'll want to show his new team that he actually can score on the Pistons...
Minny = pwned
Largest lead before sending in the scrubs....27
gg
Line for Ben for Minn game:
17 rebounds, 15 in the second half, 4 steals and 3 blocks in 36 mins. I have to disagree with ya on this one.
