I doubt this will be an easy victory, Detroit has been playing slightly better ball lately and we're on the road coming off a road game into an afternoon road game with 1 day in between. And like mentioned, the Pistons do have a few players that hold a Magic Killers membership card.

Still, I'm expecting a W, we're healthy and we can't let that Wolves win go to waste by losing to the friggin' Pistons right after.

Let's go Magic!

The lack of center depth for the Pistons must mean that Orlando tries to get Duren into foul trouble as early as possible.

I expect a lot of Carter touches in the first to set the tone.

Front court gotta impose their will today. We are far superior on that end than they are. Let's continue the good vibes and get a good W today!

This is a must win game. No questions ask

Duren coukd kill us on the glas/paint

Bogdanovic always scares me ( as does monte Morris & Burks) but you have 15-20 min of issac. Use him wisely.

What ever is needed to win needs to happen, we coukd pass miami tonight( they play clippers).

Looks like Monte Morris wants out of Detroit.

I wish we would quit saying “easy win”. No team is easy especially when you catch them on certain days.

disagree. this will be an easy win, with the boys coming up good. everyone will go home feeling good.

I think we all understand that, it’s the attitude that is off putting when we say stuff like that about an opponent.

Killian Hayes and Monte Morris are both asking out the same day we play them.
