Game #2 of the Home at Home. This is the next game for both teams as someone will be trying to save face.

tv :tv20. Its on tv20 so there will be 2 more rebroadcasts after the live broadcast. ( good excuse to pull an all-nighter )

I am traveling to Orlando on Tuesday and will be in da house to root the Pistons on come Friday at The TD Waterhouse Centre. Sorry no rooting for Darko here, but I will keep my eyes open for Tamia....


Hopefully not only will this be a win for the Pistons, but also the debut of their new back-up point......

I will give an ingame mini recap when I get back to my hotel that night.

Thats right, Thursday is the trade deadline. Our new player hopefully will be cleared to play that game.

My guess is that Darko puckers up in Detroit and has a solid home game.
Maybe we should start a poll.

I don't know yet what the Dark one will do back here in Detroit. I know he will be playing tonight in NY. He's coming off a career high 21 and 8 game and I'm kinda waiting to see what he does against NY before I put in my predictions for the EXPERT LICENSING EXAM CONTEST.

I think Darko will be pretty solid in Detroit, I'm guessing a bit above his season averages.

A lot of players play worse when they are trying to show up their former teams. Arroyo is the best example of this.

However, Darko's game has been relatively consistent because he is getting so many bunnies. Foul trouble is usually the derailing force.

I'm guessing Webber will guard him. ? If so, Darko will have a huge advantage in quickness and Webber will have to out-savy him.

That would leave Sheed to guard Dwight, which will be fun to watch too.

I'd guess the opposite with CWebb starting on Howard and then heading out early for either Nazr or DD. If it isn't Nazr, then the TRADE is on.

I think he chokes against Detroit.

He looked like he was going to pee on himself when Larry Brown returned to town a couple of years ago.

Has anything changed? Maybe.

Show me!

Anyhow, what are the OBJECTIVE standards for a good performance?

I don't want to hear the Darko HOF go on and on about his 7 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 block that defined the game and rallied/or should have rallied his team to victory.

I'm admittedly curious to see how he does, but I don't really care very much either way.

Put your money where your mouths are DHOF! Predict some hard stats that would show us that Darko is a worthy #2 pick! Don't wait until after the game to twist his performance into one for the ages.

It actually kinda seems like you do care... with all your large fonts and exclamation marks.

I will predict that he has a great game with 8 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 blocks. His real value will be all the things he does that nobody is able to see... gets to the bus on time, asks poignant questions in the pre-game briefing, rebounds well in the shoot-around, etc.

DHOF-ites don't function that way, for to do so would be the death of them.
