actually i say the game plan is either stop 1 of those 2 or try to contain DD and KL as best as possible , just don't let the other players beat you.

I actually expect us to win this game if Smiths play can continue into the regular season

I expect the Pistons to lose this game. FIRST game on the road without your starting PG?

Just have a good showing and I'm happy.

Game 1, really anything can happen.

Can't wait for some regular season pistons basketball

Time for KCP to shine defensively.

Make it tough for DeRozan and Lowry and we'll go a long way towards a win

Sent from my SM-J110F using RealGM mobile app

bold predictions:
-lowry has a 25 point triple double
-KCP hold derozan to under 13 points
-andre has a 20-20 game
-tobias goes off for 30+
-pistons win by 10+

Key here is Dre vs. Val. He's had some good games against TOR/JV, but some stinkers, too. If Dre dominates, we win.

Biggest game of the season for us.

It largely comes down to our 2/3/4 guys. I'm not expected much out of Smith and I think drink gets his 15 and 15 but we really need guys like Morris, Harris, and KCP to all go out and get out 15 plus at a decent efficiency if we're going to win.

Side Topic: Who is our leading scorer until Reggie gets back?

Can't wait for the game tonight. This would be a very tough game even with RJ, but hopefully we can pull out a W to start the season.

Our best bet is to start off hot, and hope the Raptors are a little rusty on opening night. I expect a big game from Andre.

Not that it really matters at all, but for some reason it sort of irks me that our last pre-season game is against the same team as our first regular season game.

Tobias. Wouldn't be shocked if he is the leading scorer after Reggie comes back too

Last year, Dre started out in BEAST MODE posting historic rebounding numbers before finally realizing you can't go HAM all 82 games. If was great for the 2 weeks or so that it lasted. I also wouldn't be surprised if he had a big rebounding night to start off the season.

LMAO yea they're loose

Season's here. Nice.

Either our frontcourt has to dominate or our backcourt has to neutralize theirs somehow.

KCP is overdue for a good game vs Derozan. Tonight would be a good time to show up.

Stan should consider switching Morris on DD and KCP on Lowry if necessary. Let Ish guard the lesser of the 3 (Carroll).

It'll be interesting to see how deep into the bench Stan goes tonight. My guess is not very. I expect the starters will get major minutes, with Stanley, Baynes, Leuer and Beno getting some.

.

I'm going to have night class for the next month and am going to miss all them good gamez...unless someone can point me to a site that hosts game videos or a place that keeps a torrent archive of games? Hope to watch this bad boy when I get home!
