Pistons start a 5 game West coast trip.

Melo may come off the bench. Karl thinks he's hardheaded.
FOX Sports - NBA - Report: 'Melo in danger of getting benched
Billups gets 30 ? Show off...
101 to 99

Way to go George Karl for having the guts to talk about benching the likes of Carmelo Anthony.

Karl better watch it........

Carmella will punch him and run................

ASB may be even more of a lying whore than McCoskey, but he's a funnier one.

Tayshaun Prince has the miraculous quality of having his defensive reputation reinforced when he gets lit up. Perhaps all he needs to make it to the All-Defensive First Team this season is a 40 or 50 point game from Melo tonight?

Maybe if the Pistons play well enough, we can be the team that got Melo benched. That shadenfreude would be enjoyed by me.

Be justright for Melo and AI to mesh against us tonight.

Don't care if melo just had his first seed or not our Pistons need this game tonight and have some seriousl business to attend to tonight!!! Once again as good ole Coach Woodson used to say to my undefeated HS Freshman team (that eventually went on to become Varsity Catholic League Champs my senior year) "YA'LL CAN'T PLAY GUTTER-BALL WIT THESE BOYS!!!!!" True to those noble words our Pistons DO NOT want to play gutter/rec ball with the nuggets, a good game for denver is how many alley oops they throw and complete in 48 minutes, seriously. With that said I definitely want our squad to be aggressive from the gate offensively, no more slow BS starts... The rest of the team could learn a lot from Rip aka #32 in the art of coming to work EARLY & ON-TIME every night! We don't want to sit up and trade baskets with denver, we want to make them take bad shots, control the defensive glass, and make them pay for their poor shot selection, not to mention take advantage of any turnovers we can cause (definitely will miss LH in the causing opponents havoc dept). Bottom line I'm looking forward to the return of our Detroit Pistons (tonight) and wish to bid good ridance to the etroit pistons we've been watching lately... GO PISTONS!!!!!

Even if AI and Melo get it together offensively between them, this team has no defense. And we do have a defense of sorts. So I think we will win this game.
