We should start Jason Maxiell just for a hack-a-Drummond ploy.

I have to admit I was wrong with whoever I was having this discussion with, but they were right. Det is not very good and Reggie Jackson will not make a difference. They are a bad matchup for us, but we are the better team.

Huge game for us, and an even bigger one for them. I really hope we come out early with the intensity we brought to the Brooklyn game and show we want that playoff spot. Detroit has been a bad matchup for us in the past but I'll be interested to see how Mo does against them, and if Reggie Jackson changes how they attack us.

Biz could play a major role in helping us on the boards. Them controlling the boards was a major part of why they kicked our butts last game.

If Cliff closes with Marv/Al we might be toast. If Biz and Cody play a lot of minutes to help on the boards and defending the paint we should have this. There is no reason we shouldn't win this game if we are serious about getting the 5th or 6th seed. I'm interested to see what happens.

:roll: :roll: This ought to be really good. Whoever wins the boards and turnovers and plays defense will win this. Hope we come out hot the 1st quarter and finish the 4th? :nod:

Al typically owns Drummond in the worst way. Still can't shake the feeling that this will turn into Reggie Jackson's coming out party.

my schoolwork is done so I'm as free as I can be for this game. Treated my dog to a long hike along the riverbanks of the Neuse and shopped yesterday. I'm ready to see Kemba make a surprise appearance.

Was curious if that might happen too. Kemba seems ready to go, he said it's all on Cliff.

Never easy going against Drummond and Monroe. Al and Zeller are going to get dominated tonight theres no question so its up to our guards and MKG to win this game.

Jefferson usually kills Drummond. Drummond is a very poor defender. Monroe ate Zeller alive their last meeting, though.

Clifford better lay a turd in a bag, set it on SVG's front step and light it on fire. He owes him one.
