If the Pistons play defense the way have done the past two games (without Hunter) and establish a post position and work the paint, they can probably win.
In the win in Dallas, the Pistons outscored the Mavs in the paint 40-26, and controlled the boards 44-36, shut down their bench and only allowed Dirk to get off. They also held an 8 point lead at the half and extended it in the third. The key is having that halftime lead. Playing from behind will cause them to extend to much energy playing catchup which means more three balls
Yes, I want the Pistons to win but it would be even sweeter for them to stop the Mavs win streak at 20, and that will be dependant upon mavs not getting tripped up at home on Wednesday. By the way the last time the Mavs lost at home was that Piston game on 12/7.
