    They should have a girl part of the national anthem for old times sake.

    Well, hopefully it's our lucky day. (11/11)

    I am hoping lillard comes out and puts a 25/10 game up or something. You know he's going to be pissed.

    Pistons front court is big. Hope our guys are ready.

    We are going to have to pack the paint. Let Josh Smith shoot jumpers all day.

    Smith is shooting 29% on threes and leading the Pistons with 7.0 attempts per game! What a ball hogging chucker. For comparison Matthews is shooting 5.0 attempts a game at 53%.

    Oops. Sore subject. Let the flame wars begin. ;)

    Big game. If we win we'll be 5-2. I'd really like to get away from .500 and 5-2 would be a great start at just that.

    To me, that's the best start you could hope for. Giving SA's lone loss feels pretty damn good right now.

    Taking both home and home is great, too.

    For me saying I thought we'd be 1-4, 1-5, I'm pleasantly happy and satisfied if we go 5-2.

    After losing game one, I thought we'd go 0-4.

    That's why we don't pay much attention to your predictions.

    I have to admit, I was worried about a slow start. I would have been happy with 3-3.
    They still have a long ways to go before I am convinced they can win 45, but there are some positive signs.

    Maurice Cheeks is coaching the other team. I don't need to know anything else to know that anything other than a blowout win would be unacceptable.

    I think we matchup well. They will make dumb mistakes because they have Smith and Jennings on the floor at the same time. I think Batum, Wes, and Dame could end up with 10 steals combined. As long our shots fall (47-50+%), we win big.

    Is anyone doubting that Dame won't go off tonight? His game SAT and last year's matchup vs Jennings when BJ went off should be enough motivation to come out blazing tonight.

    If we keep their paint scoring somewhat in check, this should be an easy win. Get this out of the way and focus on the rematch WED vs PHX.

    That was the blazer's big problem last year (and for about 20 years IMO). They beat the good teams and lose to the crappy teams. The idea of "should beat" and "easy win" makes me nervous....

    I am definitely on board for the idea that Dame is going to go OFF

    Huh, I didn't realize Mo Cheeks was still a head coach in the NBA.

    On paper that Pistons roster seems like it'd be better than 2-3. I know Billups is ancient, but that's a big front court and starters who were upper echelon players (or will be soon) at every position.

    Saw who I believe to be Drummond shopping yesterday at the Nike employee store. That is a big dude right there. I play a little basketball and used to have some game, but as I walk by him the idea of lacing them up and getting on a court with that guy going 100% . . . . felt a bit intimidating to say the least.

    Yeah he's "still" a head coach. Been that way for 5 games. ;)
