Notes: 3rd and Final seasonal meeting between the 2 teams. Will the 2 home games have given Orlando the edge? Will this game have playoff significance? I say not. Except for the Pistons trying to get another win.

Find a way to stop Jameer Nelson from completely killing the Pistons and we win.

Games taken on a bit more meaning with the trade and Darko's parting words of what a nighmere playing ( or sitting ) for the Pistons was.

Will the team even remember that or even care? Extra motivation playing against 2 of their former teammates? Or will they mail in a sub-par effort thinking they can coast against the Magic? Will Darko choke like he did in the NY game? How will Arroyo do against his former team?

Of couse they are still bench players. Stopping Nelson and Howard is the key. Am looking forward to seeing this Darko stopping entire teams thing.

Lookin forward to this game, I wanna see how Darko rersponds to seeing Ben and Shee in a game instead of practice. Im sure they will be buddy buddy...but I wouldnt be surprised if they lay a little lumber to him.

Looking forward to seeing Orlando play Detroit. The Magic will play hard. Howard, Stevenson, and Jameer Nelson can bring it on some nights.

I see Ben throwing either Arroyo`s or Darko`s shot in the stands, then patting him, as he says, "nice try young fella.

After the win last night and HCA almost a done deal, Flip please rest our starters in this one. I think Cato would like to play against his former team too.

Delfino, Delk, Dyess, DD, & Lindsey should be able to handle Orlando.

Let Mo get some rest......

They are the archetype for dominance. They are the gatekeepers of the conference. They are the Detroit Pistons.

I remember that happy go lucky smiling Darko




All downhill after that.

the darko dwight frontline will dominate our bigs. b. hill doesn't use this lineup too often. he's saving that for next year. in 2 years it's going to be like our sheed and ben wallace frontline except better. good thing detroit doesn't rely on points in the paint darko is shutting all of that down.

i sure would love to see darko go against dale or cato. he'd eat them alive and posters would still say they would take the vet over a young buck. some people will never admit that joe might have made the wrong move in handing orlando the dominant frontline of the next 10 years. darko could have helped us this year and so could arroyo. they certainly have helped orlando. anybody miss arroyo last night when lindsey was running the O. i predict tonight arroyo will eat lindsey alive. tony will get ate up on d but at least he'll shoot arroyo's eye out.

They should out score us by about 20 points lets say

Let's say Darko outscores the old guys by about 15 points?

Yeah, instead of the best record in the league we would be better than the best.

Arroyo outscores those two by about 15 points shall we say?

OK according to the prognostications on bballjay we lose the Orlando game by an approximate score of 100-50? You would't want to lay any money on that would you bball?
