Of course, cheer him and show your appreciation for his past accomplishments when his name is announced. But I think once the game starts you are going to hope he misses every free throw, and gets butter fingers near the boards.

Ben made his choice. The Pistons made theirs.

Go Pistons!

I am sure Ben is probably hoping that the Pistons were sub .500 this season without him. But don't expect to read any quotes with him sticking his foot in his mouth or folding under the pressure like Darko did. Ben lives for this kind of pressure. Its going to be a battle but the Pistons are the better team and will win as long as they match the Bulls seriousness.

I can`t argue with that assessment my friend........

I hope Ben gets long stand ovation, and i hope he plays an excellent game. getting tons of boards and block shot and makes all his free throughs while the Pistons still win the game. Is this too much to ask?

I am all for the standing O to start the game for Ben. After that, he is the enemy. Ok, I will admit, I like to see Darko do well when he plays us, so I will give you an ok to cheer for Ben during the game.

The only way I feel good is if Ben has 20 rebounds and hits all his free throws, and the Pistons win by 1 point.

I'm still a fan of Ben and all, but I would be ecstatic if we blew them out by 30 and Ben put up a weak game. He needs to know what he's missing out on.

Some sloppy defensive play so far from the Pistons.

The Pistons left Duhon (I think it was him) WIDE open for TWO 3pt attempts ON THE SAME POSSESSION!

They've given up too many easy baskets from being out of positions.

And Dice didn't box out on Wallace's 2nd FT attempt, giving up an easy put back.

I do like the full court press though...
