looks to me our starters are better than there starters. How did we lose both games against them last season?

Stoudamire and Jones was not in this team last year.

Should be an interesting game since they are in top 5 in the west.

Billlups should be able to post up and shoot over Stoudamire all night. He better be. Rip has Jones numbers last year (Det-Miami series). Battier is playing 6th man recently, so would not know if he will start for the Grizzlies. Only interesting match up is Sheed and Gasol. If Sheed can stay away from foul trouble, it should be Pistons 19-3.

This will be a good game. A tough defensive team on the road (We'll see how the offense goes). I think the bench is key. If they start taking bad shots and turning it over a lot this will be tough to win. Hopefully Arroyo bounces back from his worst performance of the year. I'd like to see Dice or Sheed get the ball in the post with Delfino/Rip/Tay/Evans cutting to the rim on almost every possession when Arroyo is in. It will limit mistakes and if the cutters aren't open they are both money in the post anyways, so they can just go to work. Especially whoever Gasol is guarding.

This game against the Grizzlies isnt going to be easy, They lead the league in fewest points allowed per game and have beaten the pistons in their last 2 meetings... Pau Gasol is struggling right now and the Grizz have only managed 76ppg in their last 4 games, all of them losses. If the Pistons can have a decent offensive game tonight they should come away with a W. I say if we score at least 92, its a win.

yet again i don't know what to expect. last season the pistons lost to this team twice, but that was the don't care about the regular season pistons. we lost the season series to charlotte last year, and we killed them yesterday. sheed plays good against good PF's although i wouldn't say gasol is an all star or an elite pf yet. still i think sheed will take it to him.

What i do know is that pau needs to clean up that nasty beard of his.

Yeah, that thing is ugly. Is he Amish?

Spanish. I think he is going for the "genuine" Three Musketeers look.
