Game 64: Pistons (31-32) @ Pacers (32-31) - 8 PM EST 

Post#1 » by whitehops » Wed Mar 8, 2017 3:11 am

Huge game, if we win we're still in 7th (they've already won the tiebreaker) but we'd be close to passing them for 6th seed.

Also huge because all the teams below us have very winnable games tomorrow. Chicago plays Orlando, Miami plays Charlotte and Milwaukee plays New York.

Let's take care of business and then take on the Cavs on Thursday. Just have to figure out how to slow down Paul George and Myles turner....


Go Pistons!

The Pacers always give us troubleZz hopefully we can stop Myles and PG.. oh and Jeff Teague. Big game tomorrow.

Turner uses to abuse us. George too. Predictable loss.

Are the Pacers still trying, or tanking these days?

Would be a huge win if we can get it. This is one of those games where it seems we could start turning the corner, which normally we don't win. Hopefully they prove me wrong, but I don't see it.

Reggie thinks he's sweet again so this will either be a blowout loss or a close loss due to Reggie playing hero ball.

This would be a big win. If Chicago wins tonight then all of Pistons, Bulls and Pacers will have a .500 record.

We actually got a tough bunch of games after this one and back to backs against really good teams. If Pistons lose this one tonight they could be in trouble.

I wish SVG would use Boban this game Al Jefferson schools Baynes and Boban at least would be a huge mismatch on the other end.

Yeah, I agree with this. The last few RJ has looked more like the guard who gave us all hope last season. If he's truly doing better this team could yet do something. That's a big if, but it's also what makes being a sports fan fun. A healthier Reggie would be a big boon to the Pistons, even though I think he comes across as a bit needy in the media. He needs to keep this up to change my mindset after his sabotage following the team meeting. Share the ball Reggie. You'll still get chances to be the hero, and you and everyone else will get better shots. Let's hope...

National TV. Expecting a playoff feel, should be nice.
