Detroit vs Memphis 03.17.2015 

Post#1 » by theBigLip » Mon Mar 16, 2015 5:15 pm

Pistons coming home. And after 10 losses, who is their opponent? Memphis. Going to be tough to avoid #11. Memphis is the #2 seed in the West, and they can't afford any losses to keep that slot.

Good news is the Pistons have some bigs to play with Gasol and ZBo. I expect us to play well, but in the end, another L.

We may not have Drummond. Not good against their front line.

A good healthy loss here. Nothing more or less.

No Drummond. No chance. Unless they rest Gasol, Randolph and Conley like they did a week ago. Then we have a shot at an empty win.

Hope Drummond makes a full recovery, no emphasis on the "speedy" part of it.

The papers say Drummond is cleared to play. Glad he bounced back fast. I thought he got hit in the head twice during that game.

Greg Monroe won't suit up tonight. Pulled muscle or something like that.

Marc and Zach -- won't take long for Dre to get into foul trouble. And Tolliver won't be far behind. Let's see....who could we play that might do a little bit of head-butting?

First chance to see what the Pistons may look like if Greg doesn't re sign. One in four out all night. Tons of space for Reggie to penetrate against a very tough Memphis team. Our shooters need to make shots for the first time in a while.

Isn't Shawne Williams suspended? Maybe Quincy will play tonight.

Yeah, might as well play Quincy tonight. We're going to be real thin with Greg out tonight.

I'm so glad SVG wouldn't have anything to do with tanking. Were it not for this faith, I would be suspicious.
