New Jersey Nets 7:30PM
TV - FSN (Local) NBALP


The Pistons go for their 5th win in a row, to make it 7 wins out of the last 8 games.

The Nets come to the Palace after losing their only inside presence (Kristic) to a season ending injury. The Pistons should pound the ball inside to Sheed, J-Max, or whosoever chooses to go in the paint because the Nets interior defense will be nonexistent.

Look for Kidd, Jefferson and Vinsanity to cocme out very agressive against Detroit.

The Nets are team that will not give up and the Pistons should expect a hard fought game.

Better beat them by 15 just to be safe.

No Nenad in this game. This guy always seems to play well against us. Without him, there is no reason for us not to win. No Uncle Cliffy either. With our bigs playing so well recently, we should kill them in the paint. Collins & Moore should foul out midway thru the 4th unless Flip decided to play 'small ball' with them.

Flip has the team play smart basketball, we should win the game without any problem.

GO PISTONS!

Can't overlook the revenge factor in this game though JZ. I'm sure the Nets won't let Maxiell have his way so easily this time.

Looks like I'm on recap duty again. Time to sharpen some pencils!

Watch out for Eddie House!

word. he started for the nets last time out and had a very productive game including 5 triples. small ball will be in full effect.
still i'd like to see part 2 of the max-DD lock down D, Net smashing tandem.

but remember roscoe, any time the nets play in the palace now its revenge time for us in case anyone forgot that 3OT thriller in the 04 semis.

oh, and also any time we play scalabrine the celtic, the swine!

My only concern is that Flip gets away from grind it out ball and tries to play cute by matching up with a small ball lineup.

I'd like to see Blalock get his 15 minutes. The Goon Squad get some substantial minutes. And I'd like to see Nazr take advantage of Mikki Moore and Jason Collins.

Delfino could be huge in this game if we need to matchup defense against their small ball offense. His rebounding and length are factors the Nets have no answer for.

Pistons -8, 10 bucks.

Three days til the return of the Old Skool..................

Hey guys, my TV guide says I get the game, but the menu on my cable box says they are showing the Memphis game.

We might need an emergency re-capper or two. If you can provide a synopsis or some observations for the folks who don't get the game, that would be a plus! Thanks!
