Just bring the A defense and keep them out of the paint and keep the turnovers to a minimum. In our last lost to the Pacers we had 19 TO's and let flu bugged O'neal get off for 25 pt and 13 boards. In the loss prior to that we allowed them 38 points in the paint an O'neal got off 26 pts and 14 boards in that one. Stop him and let one of the outher guys beat us.

Believe it or not stats here:
In terms of defense the Pistons have lost only one game where they held the opponent under 90 points (a 88-87 loss to Portland) All other teams that failed to score 90 vs the Pistons have walked away losers, so the defense has to hold and offense cannot afford any end of the half let downs ot half quarter scoring droughts.

Also Pistons are 1-4 vs their divisonal foes this season beating the Cavs and losing twice to the Pacers and one each to the Bulls and Bucks. Got to turn this around today.

Our next lost will match last season's total.
