this is going to be a greta back-court matchup, but our frontcourt will dominate them.

I'm expecting Tayshawn to bring it. Can Dunleavy contain him. Will the pistons be able to stop Troy Murphy or will he have the usual big night againts our front line?

Sorry fellas that I have been M.I.A., but a brotha been trying to maintain and my internet has been down! Anyway, this is probably the most intriging matchup that they have had all yr. thus far. In past yrs, the DP's have always had trouble w/ BD, especially on the road. J-Rich is having a good yr. as well so far, but they still don't have enough to handle the DP's!! It also is a tricky game because they will be fresh off of all of that rest and sometimes that can work against you. This is not the same GS team of previous yrs. They gone bring and our boys will be ready for the challenge. Let me know what you guys think!!!

I'LL HOLLA!!!!!!!!!!!

Definitely need another strong game from Sheed. Tay vs Dunleavy will be a good matchup, each trying to proof their worth after signing a big contract this season. Billups vs Baron will be another good matchup, each trying to proof they are worth an all star outing this year. As Rip and Ben, they should have a better matchup. PISTONS should win this game.

Tay will be more aggressive than usual and walk all over Dunleavy, because he's much better and wants to show it. That contract thing really seems to have stuck with both of them. Davis will actually try to penetrate for a change and remind people how much of his talent is wasted behind the arc.

Expect a rugged game. GS seems to get up for Detroit and played us tough in their place last year.

Ben on WDFN at 5:20 today.

thanks for the info. player of the game will either be tay, or ben he;ll finally have a good foot by that time.

Our perimeter dee better be up because these guys will bomb without conscience.

keep the pace at a good level. run for easy baskets, but don't let the warriors run. good test for the pistns, and the warriors lets see if this start is for real or just a fluke.
