Evans
Hedo
Lewis
Dwight

Bad Boys: pistons

billups
rip

wallace
mcdyce

I'm feeling this one as a win too. Magic are going to fight hard and sneak in that W at the last second.

No point complaining about the refs because we all know the refs will be sending every single pistons player to the line at least 6 times and allow our entire team to get hacked by the bad boys.

That being said go magics!

I love playin da Pistons, but I hate losing. I could easily see your prediction coming true tonight unfortunetly. But maybe if we have a full moon or something? Hopefully the players are tired of losing to them and play to their potential and make it a game.

Big article in the O-Sen today. It seems like the Magic are focused. But do they have the talent and teamwork? A real test indeed.

How many times did we hear the same thing, with this team, in the last four or five years???, we are focused, we need to play hard,we can't afford to lose more games; blah blah blah, is the kind of BS I'm tired about . :noway:

"Playoff atmosphere" was used several times as well.

We're playing a very good team that has had seasons to gel. I just expect a good showing by us.

But of course I'm hoping for and wanting a win.

Im nervous all over again, still can hear the Detroit ....Basketball.... by the nasty Detroit fans in my ear.

God I want us to beat them so bad. I will be glued to my seat.

We are actually catching Detroit at a very good time, as they are also in a slump. Hey maybe just maybe tonight is the night.

90-87 Magic win.

If the Magic win tonight, this would be their best victory of the year.

Let me rephrase, the Magic WILL win tonight.

Make the world a better place, punch a Piston fan in the face.
Those bastards will piss me off once more with their chants and drunken banters.

I am also expecting the refs to immediately take Detroit's side again as always.

Be afraid, be very afraid.

If we win tonight, as many already know, it will be a major turning point for our team. Detroit is the 500 lb gorilla on our backs. I am hoping for a win but I am expecting a lose.

102-94 Detroit

1. the best time to beat the pistons is right before the play-off's.
2. right when all the teams are getting ready for the post-season.
3. beating them at that time would be a great moral boost.
4. right now, it really does not matter.
5. if the magic win tonight, it will be attributed to the pistons being in slump, being tired, the magic being lucky, etc.
6. if the magic lose tonight, it is just another day of detroit basketball.
7. either way, not a big deal.
