Nazmo and the Bobcats will try and and hand the Pistons their first lost in 8 games as they visit the Palace. J-Rich and Gerald Wallace combined for 46 points in the first meeting between these teams, a Piston 103-100 victory. Nazmo had 19 points and 13 boards.

BTW, CB and Rip combined for 53 points and 15 asst in the win!

I will be at the game. The last one I was at was the first game or so where Amir and Afflalo were in the rotation again. I am hoping this one goes like the Portland game. No, not the score, but the playing time for the subs. Its the idea of the Pistons winning it all that excites me, something that will happen if the starters stay rested and the bench plays a lot. Regular season wins and losses just are not that important. (Although, I of course would love to see a win and preparation for the playoffs. I do believe our bench is good enough such that playing them will only help.)

wins are still important - lebron is still only 8 GB at 2nd seed.

I agree. It's how they win. Now is the time to see what happens if the play with 3 guards. Can they get more versatile and diverse? Let the big picture and not the score guide them. I don't think the fans are jaded from winning. It is seeing them make the same mistakes over and over that irks folks.

It wouldn't surprise me if Nazmo goes for a double double. I expect Sheed to be easy on him as long as we are winning.

No,No,No, we must subvert the mighty Nazzs before they get confidence and use it against us in the playoffs like the Giants did with the Pats. It can happen.

The fact is that the Belacheats were not near the same team this year during the last month or so as they were in the beginning of the year. Once the competition got tough they continued to win but there were a lot more closely contested games then there were in the beginning of the year when they were playing against JV teams like Miami.

No Gerald?

Put this game away Detroit. Lets get Herrmann significant PT; indifferent about Brezec.

When you consider that drop-off Budh, it's a wonder they could do 18-0.
Belacheat wouldn't let them relax or get a big head. Awesome season.

I agree. Two of those games, the Ravens and Giants were given to them by the officials. That is why it didn't surprise me that the Giants beat them.
