Maybe you're right, but I wouldn't think that a veteran team would have to learn a lesson like this. The coasting is over for this team. The war begins.

Yeah, no doubt. Pistons don't play again until Wednesday. It's not like they needed the rest.

I'm disappointed in the execution, the discipline and the desire. The Pistons came out flat. Champs don't come out flat.

Thank you for another great season!

They needed this loss big time.

I think these guys started to buy into the hype a bit too much. I have not been impressed with the last 4 games the Pistons have played. The defensive focus seems to be gone and the team is shooting more jump shots and not rebounding the ball well. I selected this game in the poll that this would be a lost but I had no idea we would get blown back like this.

Oh, well the bandwagon fans and media will jump all over this game and say the Pistons are pretenders and when they played some real competition they got smoked. I think thats what this team needs!!

I'll be interested to hear them tonight. This is embarrassing and should be stated as such by the boys.

Even their scrub are out hustling ours. Anyone want to bet our bench doesn't put up more than 20 points this last quarter? So far theirs is up 14-11 with 5:46 mins left.

Terrible game all around I didn't see any positives except the fact we got blown the F * * * out.As stated earlier I think we needed this clear our heads and start outworking the other team again.

Hope we see Acker & Johnson too

Don't feel too bad guys. No way they were going to even compete in this one. They will be fine. This was a HUGE game for Dallas. Too many things were against Detroit. They will be just fine. They are the same great team they were this morning. Just add a loss to their record. Plenty more wins and several losses to come.

It was in the stars. Don't worry...be happy!!!!

8-1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice.

It had to end sometime. I just wished we'd have been the first team to go 82-0 but it's alright.

I'd like to see the boys gather themselves and just pick up and start another streak.

Let's go Detroit.

Oh and yeah those media and critics are gonna be all over this game. We're losing by almost 40 and will say that it's validation for them.

But it's alright.

Start another streak boys. GO DETROIT!!!!
