GAME TIME PEOPLE. Somehow Miami is favored to win this game tonight. Bah. I say.
If the Pistons want to win this game for the 7th seed they will bring it, plus I'm pretty sure SVG tore them a collective new **** after the last Miami game.
Of course the matchup to watch is;
I can't pass the ball VS Reincarnated Moses Malone.
Pistons by 1 on a half court shot by Dinwiddie.

Says Stanley and Bullock will both be in the rotation tonight. I think SVG wants Stanley ready in case we need another player to guard Lebron.
It will be interesting being able to throw Marcus, Harris, KCP, and SJ at Lebron. That's a lot of different looks that will hopefully help slow him down if/when we meet in the first round. One advantage that we might have, that not a lot of teams can do.

yeah the heat have a bunch of guards, makes sense to try to match their quickness and SJ can help with that. hopefully he does decent offensively.

Both of these "fossils" looked pretty good the last time we played them.
SJ dressing makes sense. He doesn't back down in the paint. He's a lot more fun when his shot falls.
Want to see them resent the beat down they took last time.

He's effectively shut down for the season. Even if he's cleared to play, I don't think you change your rotation in the playoffs for a role player that hasn't played since October.

There's no slowing down Lebron in the first round of Playoffs. That's him just getting started. SVG is going for Toronto and wants SJ to be ready for the Playoffs to guard Derozan.

Please play SJ at the point. I honestly think it could work.
SJ
Hillard
Bullock
Tolliver
Baynes

I hope Stanley starts playing better, I want him to start attacking the basket more he is too strong to settle for jumpers.

Both teams want to win this game. Hopefully Detroit gets some revenge on Miami tonight, and win their last home game of the regular season.

Remember that Indiana has a game vs Knicks also, so it will be interesting. I think that rebounding battle might be a crucial thing tonight

Hope Dre abuses Whiteside. Or at least tries to on every possession.
And hopefully SJ shows up too after sitting out one game basically.
