When: 7:30 PM ET, February 11, 2015
Where: The Palace of Auburn Hills, Detroit, MI

I don't know about you guys but that last loss to this teams still hurts and i'm sure the team feels the same way.

The Pistons have fallen off a bit since Jennings went down but they're still a dangerous team and we can't take them lightly. The key to this is going to be keeping Drummond off the glass and away from the rim.

Go Spurs!!

That 12 pt 1st was pretty brutal for Piston fans. Spurs playing good D, but Pistons also not playing great. The offense for the Spurs is pretty frustrating. Kawhi struggling to create offense.

Tony with a sneaky good half. We are winning by a bunch and Timmy didn't play the 2nd quarter.
When Danny and Patty shoot well it really makes a huge difference. Kawhi doing everything but scoring efficiently. Here comes the Spurs favorite quarter to stop playing in, the 3rd.

Danny killing it tonight! Everyone looks good tonight, except Kawhi. That's the best 3rd quarter we've played in forever!

The ball movement has been excellent tonight.

SO nice to see Danny have a strong game. Also, what's with his rebounding? 12 last game, 8 tonight... nice work!

Tony had a decent game, stats-wise, aside from the TOs.

Mainly, it's just nice to get a big blowout-style win; builds confidence and gets rest for the guys who need it.

Go Spurs!

The most frustrating part of witnessing our losses are the missed open jumpers. Tonight is a great example of what happens when they shoot well.

Wanted to see this in person but had a final. Didn't even get to watch it on TV

Pistons are God awful in 2nd half of back to backs even with how much better they are playing so I wouldn't put too much stock into this win. Hope its a building block for after the break though.

Got to hear the end on the radio at least. Piston announcers were great. Pretty much just throwing their hands up with how well the Spurs move the ball. They got on the Pistons about a poor b2b effort again but also giving respect to the Spurs at the same time.

Danny Green has been so good this year. So happy for him. He's always showed flashes but consistency has been his big improvement. I love that he has become more than just a spot up shooter as well. Being able to rebound and play D is huge. 1.4 steals and 1.2 blocks per game is going to get him a spot on one of the all Defensive Teams for sure.

Oh and Kawhi cannot create his own shot. It's painful to watch the team and himself trying to force this issue of seemingly wanting to turn him into a scorer. It's not going to happen. He is a great contributor in a flowing, team offense.
