Darko.

(Just thought I'd mention it in a game day thread before somebody else does. He has nothing to do with the game anyhow, so why wait until it begins to discuss his impact?)

***rolls eyes***

I don't even think there is enough left in this dead horse to fill a single bottle of Elmer's glue.

KC? you mean OK City right. They were selling out there. Had to hurt to leave such a hungry Bball pop.

I here they gotta do some work in Baton Rouge. Almost as bad as the Saints.

Well the Pistons got sweep By a Utah team that just refuse to lose to the Pistons. One thing I like to look at is how we the forums react after the lose and it got me thinking and it changes my oringinal thought I had for this day. I was going to talk more about the schedule and how the 70 win talk was just to early and will not happen. I even picked them to go 44-10 for 2006 leaving their record at 68-14. I will stick with that they may come a couple short because of the league leading 12- back to backs till the end of the season.

Now how do we react after a loss is amusing at best but as I read this board for the last 2 days i see a lot of problems the Pistons have and trades they must make. now that we are 31 games into the season we see that the same things are happening as far as the bench and starters are concerned. In the papers today Flip brought up a situation that I agreed with is that subs should be a timed thing not a game situation feel. THe Utah game saw Ben and CB not sitting for the whole 2nd half and OT which may had something to do with the outcome(maybe). Flip said starting tonight they will rotate more on a clock rotation which gives the bench players a better fell of the game and what is expected.

As time changes there are more things that stay the same. WE now know that Darko will not play and any talk of him playing is saucey banter. We know that trade talks are always going to be a part of this team because it is a fade sort of speak(it happens every year) but when you look at the Pistons team the bench is still the same as last year, the only diference I feel is that it can get better without any major trades. The players just need more time to gel and with the record they have it allows time for that.

The last thing even though the Pistons still have the best record they are still being pushed by two teams out west for best overall record with the Mavericks and Spurs. They have a huge game this week with the Spurs and I perdicted a close lost wich would put the Spurs next to the Pistons with the best record. That makes tonights game with the Hornets very important even though I think they will win it will be a tough road game because the Hornets play their best ball at home. They have already beaten the Spurs, Heat, and Suns at home so the Pistons have to take care of business or they can lose. Pistons 101-89

I am going to the game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One of my members just called with tickets. It's going to be a 7 hour drive from KC, but well worth it.

Pistons 90
Hornets 82

Right on Pastor!! I'll tell Flip to coach for a win instead of a loss like the last time. We gotta help out the REAL fan base. haha
