well...we just beat them, I predict we get our ass handed to us...can Big Al finally get 12+ boards again? His rebounding has been down. Another key question: can Foye put up some points? Key match-ups: Foye vs. Williams and Jefferson vs. Boozer

Hopefully all their starters are playing. I don't want to pull another Detroit-Fools day fiasco. I was still made about the time we got stomped by Detroit last season and then we pulled that garbage.

Foye needs to be more agressive!!!!! He needs to play like stuckey did last night. He had a good all around game but he's definitely capable of scoring more points. He's playing so-so right now but i expect a lot more. He isn't back to the way he was playing at the end of last season and in the summer league. We need him to get back to that point and beyond. I know you have it in ya' foye just go out and do it!!!

Foye needs to take it to the rack more. He can beat his man off the dribble and get bigs into foul trouble.

Yea really. I want Randy to just try and light it up. No one on this team wants to take over except Al. Well Shad does every once in awhile but he falls in love with his J too much. Just put your head down and take it in!

Not enough taking it to the basket for anyone on this team - Randy, Shad, Corey, even Gomes.

Foye's at the line. Good, now all he has to do it pull this off 6+ more times a game.

It's good to see rashad isn't playing like last night(like an idiot). And foye is doing good with 5 points 4 assists.

How could Shad be closing in on the franchise record for most threes in a season? Shouldn't Wally or somebody have that?

Wally shoots less threes than his reputation would lead one to believe. Never more than 200, Shad's going to be 300+

That's nuts. Wally was such a beast from there at times.
