I'm guessing that Wallace will play Johnson.

Wallace: 6'7 220
Johnson: 6'9 210

Dig the live shot pic's? I saw it in a magazine and I wanted to try it out.

Amir Johnson is now 6'11" 235lbs. He was 6'9" 210 when he was drafted at 18 out of highschool and for some reason his measurements haven't been updated despite the growth spurt a few years ago. I could still see Wallace guarding him for 18-20 mins he'll play though.

Felton for Pres · Post #3 » by **Felton for Pres** » Mon Nov 3, 2008 1:27 pm

I like the live shots. Good change.

Let's hope the team builds on Sat and that it wasn't an aberation.

Live shots? Me likey!

Tonights game is supposedly in HD for those who can pick up the games! I'll have to DVR and see because as usual I'll be at the game. Hopefully I won't be running behind and miss the first quarter this time. I was pissed I didn't get to see the intros on Opening night.

I'm hoping for more of the same after Sat night. Even if we don't get the W, so long as we continue to show hustle, work as a team, have everyone play their roles and play under control I'll be happy.

Yeah, no size advantage tonight so we've got to bring the "A" game. Wallace was knocking his shot down from the outside against Miami too so that helped a lot also. Let's hope it continues.

Like your saying slam. As long as I see them continuing to play tough defense, and keep up some decent ball movement then I'll be happy watching them play.

So I guess that Stuckey will be running the show in the D tonight with Billuips and Dice on the outs?

I hope this gets done before the game tonight..it be fine with me if I didn't have to face Billups and McDyess with Iverson not yet here to take over the point.

WOOHOO, NO CHIEKH SAMB.

PS - what the hell kinda trade was that? Detroit is supposed to be defensive-minded, so they trade for Iverson? Denver is supposed to be run-and-gun, so they trade for Billups? What is Iverson going to play in Detroit, PG?

More the point, if they go with Stuckey at the point and Ai at the 2 - what the hell happens to Rip??? Play him at the 3 and Prince at the 4?

Me thinks there are some more Piston trades to come............

Let's take advantage of the utter chaos and sneak out with a win.

If the trade is agreed upon and has broke to the media, there is no way Billups or McDyess will play tonight....which is good news, because Billups always kills us.

Who is Detroit's PG now? Stuckney?

Wallace and May for Prince and Sheed?

I like the live shot pics. Nice change, keep them rotating! i especially love that Felton is looking towards his teammates not towards basket (wherevet it is).

misterglover · Post #15 » by **misterglover** » Mon Nov 3, 2008 6:57 pm

Wonder if we could somehow sneak into that trade since it has yet been finalized....LB has ties with Joe D. & George Karl is a Carolina Guy....Matt Carroll doesnt seem to figure into LB's plans with Shannon Brown being that athletic, defensive guy he likes and Morrison figuring to get more minutes than MC... How about we add Carroll ----> going to Denver( since JR takes over the starting role they need a back up) and I guess we have to throw in May since we cant trade Hollins, Linton J or A Brown until December and we get McDyess(Det) & whatever from DEN?!!

The shock factor of this trade should give us an edge tonight. That and them being short- handed. I would not expect the deal to be finalized in time for AI to make the game.

How many were at the game on Sat night? The crowd looked pretty thin at the start of the game?

Wonder how many will be there tonight? Be good to get some full houses - although the 7:00pm game time SUCKS. Why can't it be 8:00pm or even 8:30pm?

chabber · Post #18 » by **chabber** » Mon Nov 3, 2008 7:19 pm

Supposedly it was a sell out. Being that it's a Monday night I wouldn't expect a large crowd but the fact that we are playing Pistons might effect that some.

It was pretty packed in there by mid Q1..They were doing something with security, looking into fan's bags. That seemed to slow down the lines to a crawl...

Herrmann goes for 30 pts tonight.
