We just lost to the Bobcats, we should win this.

i jinxed us last game thread by predicting a win so i have to go back to my old ways

pistons down 9 at half

pistons go on to lose by 21

monroe 7/17 15 pts 4 rebounds
drummond 5 fouls, 3 in the first half
smith 2/9 from three point range

got an update for you krabs

#Pistons tonight. RT @Jonathan_Feigen: James Harden is out with his ankle sprain. Struggled with it last night.

so if the pistons lose, we can be doubly mad!

we're playing pretty good on the road. this is winnable

wow, harden out is a big help. i really hope drummond steps up for dwight and can atleast hold his own. i think he can. outside of that matchup, we HAVE to keep them from shooting 3's. they will destroy us if we let them bomb away from outside. lin/beverly might give jennings problems but he is the better player, i think that (the PG matchup) is the key to winning/losing this game.

Parsons scares me in this one. He can really shoot the ball so Smith better be on tonight.

With Harden out, we have to win!

James Harden (ankle) and Jeremy Lin (back spasms) out for Rockets tonight against Pistons.

even less of an excuse to lose!

but will we find a way to lose anyway?

Throw KCP on him for a while? that might help

Stuckey back but billups out. Means bynum plays backup PG minutes :/ but atleast stuckeys there to lead second unit (bynum/billups combo was awful yesterday)

I wanted to see kcp defense on harden and shut him down,smith should contain parsons,who knows what moose we get,jennings will be jennings.and dre on dwight should be fun.

Lets do it crabs..

Hopefully the team plays with effort for the full 48 minutes tonight

Updated the OP, thats Francisco Garcia starting at the 2 guard.

Lets go pistons

Moose is such a lazy defender

Come on dre pick up the energy.

Nice block dre

Singler taken over.

Singler playing well defensively
