This would be a clutch loss.

Wishful thinking for a loss tonight but predicting at double digit win with the rooks, jackson, and Fred balling out

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

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.

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!"

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.

When Sekou is starting to beast inside right off the bat you know the opponent suuuuuuuuuuuuuucks

And now the real scrubs come in for Orlando

Great suggestion by Kelser for a nickname for Frank Jackson--Hot Sauce. Love it.

We got a chance to lose this. We’re playing awful.

Just put Dervidas in for 4-5 min each quarter and we can still do this

Bring on Sirvydis

Give us Sirvydis or give us death! LOL

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

ah crap, I think Killian re-injured his hip. Hopefully its just a tweak but he looks gimpy.
