Re: GAME 65 : Magic @ Pistons 7PM
This would be a clutch loss.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Re: GAME 65 : Magic @ Pistons 7PM
Wishful thinking for a loss tonight but predicting at double digit win with the rooks, jackson, and Fred balling out

Re: GAME 65 : Magic @ Pistons 7PM
What makes this win hurt a bit less in your minds?
Killian 20/20 game
Bey 40 point eruption with 8 3s
Beef Stew 15/15?
I think I may be happy with those three combined and/or a loss

Re: GAME 65 : Magic @ Pistons 7PM
I would need all of those to be happy with a win. This is, sadly, the most important game of the year to lose.
If all the rooks shame all their youngsters and we win by 40, so be it. If we win by 3 on a Jackson shooting streak, gahhhh.

Biggest game of the year -- can't see how we pull this off, but I'd love to take the L here.

I will admit, I am truly excited to watch this game and see what a s**t show it evolves into.

Re: GAME 65 : Magic @ Pistons 7PM
At this point I really wonder how Blaha and Kelser can keep what appears to be a pretty genuine attitude of "The Pistons just need to do this and that to win" when being true fans who understand the game and what it takes to win a championship, they're probably just like us in that regard. Obviously they probably hope the Pistons lose and keep the tank rolling, so while Frank Jackson is going hero and snatching a win from the jaws of defeat and they're crowing about how awesome he's doing, on the inside they're probably grinding their teeth and thinking "Knock it off, jackass!"

Re: GAME 65 : Magic @ Pistons 7PM
It's almost universal that Detroit fans want the Pistons to lose this one, but man, I hope they can do that because some Orlando player goes insane tonight, not because our three rookie starting lineup would actually lose to the Orlando Magic in a regular game. I mean a loss tonight might mean too much of a loss.

Re: GAME 65 : Magic @ Pistons 7PM
Great suggestion by Kelser for a nickname for Frank Jackson--Hot Sauce. Love it.

This Orlando team is abysmal. No crying when we beat them, some things just happen naturally!

Re: GAME 65 : Magic @ Pistons 7PM
ah crap, I think Killian re-injured his hip. Hopefully its just a tweak but he looks gimpy.
