At Memphis March 3rd, 8:00 PM
TV - FSN Detroit (Local) NBALP


The Pistons travel to Memphis for the second game of a back to back to face a disgruntled Pau Gasol and the Grizzlies. I am sure Pau would have been pleased to be a Bull right now, however, he must play out this season at least, with the woeful Griz.

Had to make an emergency trip to Detroit, leaving on a 12:20 flight. So. I will be able to watch this one on local TV.

I will be without a computer, so enjoy chat folks. Hopefully we have awaken and will play a full 48 minutes tonight. Pau will probably still hit 35.

Have a safe trip Dlev.

Good luck - took me five hours to get out of Chicago yesterday.

To some extent I don't really care if the Pistons win tonight, but I really want to see them come out mad. I want errors of comission and a complete lack of smooth. I want everybody's eyes to look like Webber's, but from a lack of sleep.

Pistons nearly erase 19-point deficit, but Heat hang on
Flip Saunders has announced the starting lineup for tonight's game against Memphis.

Sam Cassell, Wally Sczerbiak, Latrell Sprewell, Kevin Garnett and Michael Olowakandi will get the start for Detroit with Antonio McDyess and Maurice Evans coming off the bench.

Everyone else will be celebrating Tayshaun turning 27 years and 2 days old.

If Sheed doesn't play we have no one to stop Gasol.

I didn't get it.

i no get it...........

Pistons eke out a close win with some clutch play from Tay and Dice in the last couple of minutes. Tay caught fire at just the right time, and he even hit a miraculous prayer 3 at the shot clock buzzer with about a minute left. Pistons executed pretty well on offense, for the most part, but they kept the Grizz in it by giving up far too many offensive boards. Kudos to Delfino for coming back from some early bricks to hit a couple of big jumpers early in the 4th, just when it looked the Grizz might start to pull away a bit.
