Game 45: Pistons (20-24) vs. Wizards (23-19) - 6 PM EST 

Post#1 » by whitehops » Sat Jan 21, 2017 6:04 am

so.. last game we beat a team that had won 9 of their last 10 games. tomorrow we'll play a team that has won 7 of their last 8.

KCP will likely be doubtful, leuer is looking like he'll play (we'll get an official report tomorrow).

prediction: watching wall torch jackson will lead to more rubio-trade discussion.


go pistons!

What's crazy is that if the Bulls and Bucks both lose and we win, we'd be in a three way tie for 8th already.

That said, I would expect a loss mainly because whenever we start to feel good about this team we end up losing... Not sure that we've won 4 in a row all year. I think this is probably a loss with our next two being wins against Sacramento and Miami.

It would be NICE to see him drops 30 on Wall while making a good defense on him. I would prefer the defense aspect because Dre should be showing up too this night having a monster performance.

Wizards are a heck of a team. Since 8 December they have the best record in the whole eastern conference(interesting fact: Philly is like 6th). Wall Beal against Jackson and Bullock.. It will be a hard competition for us. Otto is also a 3pt killer. He has the best 3pt% in the LEAGUE (and Ingles). Gortat, my boy from Poland is playing the best basketball since he was almost an allstar type player in 11/12 Suns(duo with Nash). I heard that KCP is doubtful, but maybe Leuer will be available. Winning against 'em would be huge. DEEEEEEEEEETROIITT BASKETBAAALLL!!!!! Oh, Stan. If Jon comes back, don't limit Stanleys minutes to absolute zero, please :)

We never play good against these guys. I expect Gortat to put up Shaq numbers. Guy always beasts against us.

A win tonight would change my outlook on this team. Lots of winnable games and rest over the next few weeks. Beating two good teams in a row may give these guys some momentum.

They are healthy and more talented. We are the underdog.

If Pistons want to make the playoffs then win this game. I'm done with excuses as this isn't the Warriors it's the Wizards. We should be hungry and we are at home coming off a winning streak. Show your serious and take care of business cause we have catching up to do now after taking the first half of the season off.

Reggie will have a fine statistical game but the rest of the team will struggle. But hey, can't let Wall score more than him!

Beal's been in a bad shooting funk the last two games. A continuation would help.
