Tickets go on sale 10/8 and I will get mine then. I hope the real Pistons show up, not the ones that had to go 2 OT's to beat the Clipps last year. They should be at least 12-4 by then and will be in the middle game of a mini 3 game west coast trip then. I should be able to give you full report especially if it is a positive win on 12/12.

I remember that game. I was listening to it on Audio League pass as usual and for some reason the pistons radio side dropped out so i had to listen to the clippers guy. He was de-va-stated...

It will be interesting to see how the clips go. They now have a couple of vets, but not really the kind thats gonna help out the young kids I don't think...

I think I like this Clippers team compared to previous years.

• Kaman had an impressive offseason in the summer league
• Brand consitently gives all-star performances
• Magette is a strong offensive threat that gets to the line often
• Sam Cassell is a great candidate for a rebound season (find it hard to believe that a guard can go from his best season as a pro to his worst in one fail swoop without coming back to some middle ground)
• Cutino Mobley is an underated offensive presence

Hell, if this was an Eastern Conference team they would have a legitimate shot at the playoffs.

I remember that game too. Ben had a big tip in when we were down by 2 in overtime, and Chauncey hit a big 3 early in one of the overtimes too.

The Clips are 9-0 when they shoot 48% and better. Key to a Pistons win is holding them below 44%; the Pistons need to shoot better than 45%; and control the boards while shutting down Brand's inside game and Cassell's dribble penetration.

The Clips shut down DWade and company tonight so this maybe the Pistons biggest road challenge since the Mavs. I will be there in my "M" jacket and 2004 Pistons Championship cap to cheer the Pistons on, and hopefully I will make the long drive home smiling.

Why did the league give us a day off after the Warriors? We should be fresh. The Clips may have a good season this year but history says next year they degrade.

I hope the Pistons didn't fly back home after GS. Acclimate to Cali. we got Clipps then Jazz.
...Dre we shot 44% at GS and GS shot 40%. A 3 pt. win. Still a little tight for me. But CBill was fresh in the 4th and inserted daggers thanks to CarArr.

LOL. No worries. They didn't fly home.
