let's keep the ball rolling! KCP apparently went through practice yesterday (starters had the day off) but his status is still uncertain today. update... PROBABLE

one game back from 8th seed, let's get it!

Need to win these games from here on out. Looking at the rest of the schedule Pistons can actually still move up alot

If Drummond plays the Kings like he did last time and the Pistons give him some back, this will be a win. Can't win with boarding from everyone. We need to lockdown the paint.

yep. a big factor is we've played the most road games in the east so far. only portland, phoenix and houston have played more but we're not racing them for the playoffs :D

pretty much all the teams we're competing with have an even number of home and away games left except for washington, they have 5 more away games than home games left. we play three more home games than away games for the rest of the season.

Its time for this team to make a run. Outside of @BOS, the next 8 games arent very scary. If theyre going to make up ground, it has got to be now.

It should be an easy W for us, I just can't imagine Cousins destroying whole Pistons in The Palace, especially when KCP is probable. And please, do not blow another lead. Okay I know, we lost against Philly Suns Nets. But come on, we need that 4 W in a row, Detroit YOU can do this

JL should be the difference this game... their "big" lineup was a killer.

Plain to see that they must win at a better rate going forward if the Postseason is a consideration. The schedule helps as noted, and it appears the team's health is improving. Between FA acquisitions and injury it has been hard for this team to catch a rhythm. MM and SJ both seem to be coming out of their funks. Getting Bullock back and able to play is a real plus. RJ is resolutely RJ, but is playing better. There's no denying he often comes in handy at closing time. Second half run anyone? (What is life without hope?) :lol:

I agree that they should be feeling some need for redemption against the Kings.

I'm going to expect KCP is going to be rusty after being away for a while.

Anyone looking to criticize him tonight has been thoroughly warned that this is going to happen.

Good thing Reggie Bullock is back and playing well so KCP doesn't have to play a ton of minutes

The thing with KCP is I don't think there's anything he brings that could ever hold the team back or make a legit argument for him doing so.

Doesn't mean they won't try

I'm still going to laugh at them. This might be Todd's reemergence tonight.
