This thread is gonna reach a huge amount of pages. Pistons will get a load of calls and this thread will go crazy.

It doesn't look good. Pistons lost 5 of last 8, 2 in a row vs. bad teams (Kings, and Bulls) They even lost to the knicks. I think their gonna kill us.

Jameer is more than likely to sit out tonight.

Yup just read it.

Carlos Arroyo will start again at PG for ailing Jameer Nelson, but expect to see more of Keyon Dooling vs. Chauncey Billups

Oh lord help us all.

Just saw that Vegas has Detroit at 2 1/2. That's quite favorable to the Magic. If I was a betting man ..... (I'd be broke).

I also bet Detroit is laughing that some of their trash a few years ago are our starting backcourt.

I hope we get "The Good Arroyo" and Evans today.

This game seems as certain as a loss

At Detroit, I can't see it happen.

Is there a rain cloud always over you, and just you alone? And does it follow you where ever you go?


BTW - The Wiz still have several longer road trips coming up. The Magic only have 2 game road trips left. Let's see where the Wiz are come the end of Feb - when they have 2 tough road trips.

My philosophy has been that the games many people expect us to lose, we win. For the most part it's worked this season and it worked with the Portland game and I hope it finally works tonight.

The game thread sucks. And we won our two three games, when our game threads sucked (Chicago, Portland). Based on this - we gotta win.

He won't. Billups and Hamilton would smoke him.
