Pistons win 121-93? gotta keep up the new trend. :lol:

Seriously though, I just hope it's a good game, the bench plays well and we get the win.

The team should watch out for Kleiza and JR Smith. Smith is kind of dumb, but he can rain in the 3s and score 30 easy, given the chance. Kleiza plays sound basketball and can be dangerous as well. It's important to deny penetration with this team. I hope the team crushes them, because I don't think my heart can take another three point prayer from beyond halfcourt from Sheed to tie.

Got to try and avoid the let down game. Every game matters to the Nuggets at this point so they should come out strong.

That epic matchup will have to wait, unfortunately. Atkins has been out all year.

I dont know what to expect from this one, I just want the rotation to remain, even if they play thier starters heavy minuets becuase of a shortended bench.

If I see 2minutes for Amir, and Hayes, and 44minuets for Prince, I'll be pissed.


No win, or loss is of any importance at this pojnt, its all about keeping the bench cohesive, and playing well before the playoffs.


Flip has done an outstanding job all year(Joe obviously had a hand in that) and its not a time to worry about victories. I think he has finally understood that about this team. It can win anywhere, it just needs rested starters.

Good luck, you will see a lot of jacked up shots by AI and Melo along with JR, due to Karl's inability to call a **** on offense, however on D he will come out in zone and will make AI and Carter gamble for every steal and leave Camby sliding to help, which will leave open drives to the basket. Unless Anthony and AI blow up for lots of points together, its an easy W for Pistons.

Notes: The Pistons won both games against the Nuggets last season, including a 13-point victory at the Pepsi Center. Iverson and Anthony combined to shoot 11-for-34 in that game, with Anthony going 0-for-6 in the second half. . . . Detroit dismantled the Phoenix Suns on Sunday, leading by as many as 36 points in a 116-86 victory. All five Pistons starters scored in double figures. . . . Nuggets guard J.R. Smith is averaging 22 points on 50 percent shooting (45-for-90) in the past six games. . . . The Nuggets have won nine straight games against Eastern Conference teams at the Pepsi Center. . . . Denver has allowed at least 30 points in 11 of the past 13 quarters. . . . Anthony needs nine points to move past Byron Beck (8,603) for fifth place on the franchise career scoring list.

George Karl will not be coaching tonight, due to the flu bug.

I'd tell Amir to watch Camby specifically all night. That's who he should pattern himself after.
Rip Hamilton is a stain on the Pistons franchise.

Wow...when it's all said and done, Carmelo and Lebron may be in the top 5 in all-time scoring. Mosses at #5 with 27,409.
