For some reason the 12-15 Nets have a better record on the road (6-5) than at home (6-10). They either could be due for a home win or the Pistons can keep the trend going with their 6th win in a row.

No injuries to report other than Kristic but thats something thats more the norm now.

We may see more of the Pistons lock down defense in this one as the Nets have been offensively challenged this year - they avg about 91 ppg, worst in the NBA!

Ok, all who picked the Nets to come out of the east this year, raise your hand!!!!!

Only one out of these three teams will make the playoffs; NJ Nets, Miami Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers...........Wouldn`t that be nice??

That would be entertaining. However, I expect that NJ and Cavs would make it. Can't say for sure, but if the health holds up, they'll be there when it is all said and done.

CB with the W.

The Cavs are still playing shorthanded. Marshall has only played two games this year. While he is not going to get anyone's sixth man of the year award at this time in his career, he still poses enough of an outside threat, including 3 pointers, to open up the defense a bit when he is on the court.

Of course with the Cavs if Bron Bron gets injured they are a total lottery team.

Anyone else want to join me in chat? Pistons are kicking butt early.

I know the game's not over, but it really bothers me that Hayes can play through his mistakes, and generally suck and never get pulled yet Afflalo had a not so good 1st half, and is now glued to the bench. A bad couple of min takes precendent over how well he has been playing.

I thought the Pistons played tonight? I turned on the t.v. and all I saw was a shoot around.

Vets generally get a longer leash from coaches. I think it's safe to say Hayes will continue to play. It does bug me quite a bit just how much PT Arron's lost already.

Once Stuckey gets back into the groove of things, that might change, though.
