The Pistons host the Hornets and CP3, who is having another MVP type year. This is only the second home game for the Pistons in the last eight.

Truth be told, the Hornets are underachieving too, battling for the 4th spot just like the Pistons

The difference is that they are currently in the 4th spot but only 2.5 games ahead of the 9th spot.

The Pistons area .5 game behind the equally struggling hawks and 4.5 games ahead of the 9th place team...

Depending upon how Tay's groin feels/heals, the Pistons could actually show up to play this team since they play decent vs good competition and play poorly vs bad competition

Lord I hope we don't have to literally lose a "Handfull" of games before SB goes bye bye.

Yeah, but the Hornets got the Brett Favre of the NBA in Chris Paul so you can't criticize them.

I am going to watch this game. I have plans to go to a bar later for my friend's b-day so luckily i will have liquor on hand if this game is a massacre.

If we continue SB; these are the match-ups

Sheed/Chandler
Prince/West
Rip/Peja (Posey)
AI/Who is their 2? Butler maybe
Stuck/CP3

Anybody notice this ?

Rut Row!!! Can't wait to hear George and Special K spin this one on the pre game.

We shall see, we shall see. Now be honest, if that's the line-up, and Rip is relegated to the bench, U gon' start drinkin' early aren't U? As my grandma used to say, "Tell the truth and shame the devil" You ticked off right now aren't you....it's gon' feel even worse when Rip is traded!!!! It's OK, tell them to put the Patron shots on my tab......

Unless collectively AI, Rip and Stuck only play 90 minutes, moving one guy to the bench is meaningless. So what if Johnson plays 7 minutes, picks up his requisite 3 fouls and doesn't make another appearance.

I'm not sure if you're kidding or not, but If you actually read my posts you would see that i think that Stuck/Rip fit better together as do AI/AA. And that i loathe SB more than any other scenario.

In all likelihood, Rip is not going anywhere and i know that's going to be hard for some since he's a the new scapegoat.
