Game 24: Pistons (12-11) @ Hornets (12-9) - 7:00 PM EST 

Post#1 » by Jaisy » Wed Dec 7, 2016 1:51 pm

After yesterday W against exhausted Bulls, we are coming to North Carolina and will face the Hornets team for the second time in this season. This time we are on a b2b so I expect a tough competition against Charlotte. Good news is that only Tobias "All-business" played for a long time, while the other players are well-rested. As always, fight for that W! We are Detroit, we are Bad Boys! DEEETROOIIT BASKETBAAALL!

I expect a loss, but then again, I also expected a loss @Charlotte the first time. And a number of other games we won. By the way, your favorite teams logo list should probably be hid from Han Solo's view. It will just remind him of his forbidden fruit. Who knows? Maybe he can get a Pavlovian high just thinking about it.

sounds like they're getting marvin williams back, he's a big part of their team. he's been out the last six games with a hyperextended knee.

maybe they won't have to send frank out there to defend harris now lol.

So which team will play tonight and, for how many quarters?

I really dont concern myself with who the Pistons are playing (unless its GS,CAVS) as I feel the team can beat anyone if they get on the same page as a team.

I honestly dont know, but it is a back to back so that does lower the chances of a victory.

Hornets will look for vengeance tonight. Not feeling this considering it's a back to back, and on the road

Marvin Williams always gives us problems. I hope he sits out for tonight's game.

Upside is that we only had two starters play more than 30 minutes last night. Shouldn't be too tired.

It's going to be tough beating CHA on the road again, especially on a B2B. We're 2-2 on B2B road games thus far this season, which isn't bad. Hopefully they can go in and steal one tonight.

The current playoff standings are very tight, and it may end up resembling last season's 4-6 seed tiebreaker. We play CHA 4 times this season, with the final two matchups at home. A win tonight could be very important come April if both teams end up with the same record. I got DET and CHA both finishing in the top 5 in the East.

Why? He only played 18 minutes. Need to keep building up his conditioning
