At first I thought we would get by everybody including the MAVS, and finally the Bucks would stop the streak. However now the the pressure is off remaining undefeated, I think we can move by them and the Clippers may be the team puts a stop to the new streak.

The Bucs game will be a back-to-back for both squads so whose ever bench produces on Friday night will allow the starters to be fresh on Saturday night. Piston just need to keep Redd, Ford and Joe Smith in check and keep the Bucs below 85 points for the win. (Bucs are 5-0 vs the east so far this season and only one loss at home.)

If the Clippers continue to win, their confidence will continue to grow and depending on our stamina on the west coast trip, may hand the Pistons their second loss of the season.
