hopefully we get back on the right track and the bucks game wasn't the start of us falling back to being a .500 team.

we play the pacers so dare i say... unleash the boban!? EDIT: never mind sabonis is back so he's their backup C.

go pistons!

I actually just saw that Sabonis is a game time decision (illness). Looking forward to this one. Hell I look forward to them all, but have watched Detroit several times this year on league pass and I really like the way they play. Best of luck tonight.

This will be a tough game, not one I'm expecting to win, but really hoping they do. Don't want the team to get too comfortable, especially with this insane stretch of games.
Hopefully they are refocused after the L, and ready to start another winning streak

Boban is so massive that he doesn't even need to guard the perimeter. He can sit in the paint and stretch his arms out to guard a guy at the 3pt line. Lol I don't know why we're not utilizing this guy!

This is the type of game we need to win. Despite our great start, only 3 losses separate us from the 9 seed.

Missed the game the other night(on purpose. I knew it would be a loss. Ill admit though I score watched and when it got close I almost tuned in)but watching this one.

The Pistons are the superior team and should absolutely thrash the Pacers. That said, still only 14 games in, shy of my 20 game mark for gelling.

I expect a blowout win. Anything else is a disappointment and means longer development time for the team. Responding to a loss well, is the hallmark of a good team.

Get it done Pistons.

Obviously this isn't a must win at this point in the season but we need this win, if that makes any sense. With how brutal our upcoming schedule is, we need to get every win we can and that means beating the teams we should and IND is a team we SHOULD beat.

Hopefully we don't attempt to close without our closer on the bench again. Didn't go so well last time.

I hope we shut down Oladipo again

It's crazy how easy Andre can catch the rebound with his left hand with the putback

DetroitPistons · Post #13 » by **DetroitPistons** » Sat Nov 18, 2017 12:13 am

Definitely don't want Bradley in foul trouble against Oladipo
