My favorite teams play on my B-day.

Back at it again on Friday night. This game has a lot of ifs and of course this is a big game for Philly as Detroit is always everybodies big game.

I think if Iverson can play he will definitely ply in this game because he knows for all purpose this team stands no chance without him on the floor for the Pistons.

This game will have a big game tone because this is a potential first round match up again and the Pistons need to leave no doubt that these guys don't stand a chance with them in the playoffs. If Iverson do not play look for Detroit to win by double digits, but if Iverson plays it may be a closer game. My perdiction Pistons win 104-91

99-87 Pistons!

AI may not play, so I expect the Pistons to play down to Philly a bit.

Thank you for another great season!

Is A.I playing?

My opinion is no point rushing back as they will still find it difficult to beat the Pistons. If he plays, they might lose within' 10-15 pts. Better save the energy and take more time to heal the injury.

Hopefully, Flip will give the bench more minutes, meaningful minutes, with the starters. Flip had used Arroyo, Rip, Mo, Dice and Ben at some stretch and this line up seems good. In addition, he also used Billups, Mo, Delfino, Sheed and Dice too. This line up too has been interesting. If you notice, both the line ups has Dice and Mo in it and I would love to see Flip use the line up of Billups, Delfino, Tay, Sheed and Darko. Give Darko some minutes with the starters and see how he goes from there. No harm experimenting that line up for a few minutes. A few minutes in the 2nd quarter will not lose us a game.

Pistons will win this and should be 39-6.

DETROIT BASKETBALL

If AI doesn't play this game will be alot more competitive than you might think. The Sixers do a much better job distributing the ball around in his absence. In the time that AI has been out more starters have been in double figures than they traditionally have been in the past. That coupled by the imminent decrease in effort you will see from our team based on the competition...leaves me to believe that we will win this one, 100-90.

the pistons have not done great offensively the last couple of games. 93-84 pistons.

Happy Birthday!

thanks.
