We should win this and surpassed the franchise regular season record even the starters play between 25 to 30 minutes. Nothing better than doing it at home, The Palace of Auburn Hills.

Would be nice if the bench plays better 'D' this time, unlike the 4th quarter in the previous game against the Raptors.

Knicks are playing to spoil. I wouldn't count this as a guaranteed win.

The time on this game (6 pm) means I have to cut out of a big family get together. Why wouldn't they schedule this game later?

Ladies and Gents, I'm opening chat early as I may not be around at gametime. Have a great evening!

u and that alter ego kill me....i see a sloppy game coming...cant see the fav 6 takin this one seriously...my 66-16 prediction is in jeopardy thanx 2 mike james!

This might be the most winnable gameof the three left, only because the Bucks and Wiz are still playing for playoff seeding.

THis will be a hard win to get simply for the fact the guys are just staying fresh for the playoffs. Get a win today and get all the new records for the franchise.

GO PISTONS!!!!

Nobody on the bench except Delk and Lindsey managed to hit a jumpshot in the first half.

* Bench on jumpshots/isos:

Delk good, Lindsey respectable.

Dice 1-4.
Evans 1-3.
Delfino 0-2.

* Lindsey Hunter's rediscovered his jumpshot - at a price. We all know he can't run an offense very well, but his defense has been nonexistent these last two games.

* Hunter, Delk, and Evans were credited with 7 turnovers. Garbage time or no, that's not acceptable for the bench guards.

* I never, ever want to see any sort of zone defense again. The hybrid zone Flip convinced the bench to play in the second quarter didn't work. Zone doesn't work, period.

Pistons and Redwings are first teams from same city to have NBA and NHl's best record!! Lets go get the ring!!!!

The starters are ready for the playoffs. The bench is OK, but cannot trust them out there without a leader on the offensive end and they need more than just Lindsey on the defensive end. Good thing is we only have two more games to experiment and see our bench play no defense. 27 point lead trimmed 6.

The only burning question left the next couple of days is who will be visiting the Palace next weekend as the 8th seed and what team has the best chance to take at least one game from us? It could even be one of the two teams we face to end of the season Bucs & Wiz. So I say don't give them false hope and beat then down just as we did today (in the first half anyway).

A 16-0 sweep is possible, but I am thinking maybe 16-4 to reclaim the Ship!
