At Golden State November 14th, 10:30 PM

TV - FSN Detroit, NBALP

The Warriors will be the third winless team the Pistons have faced in the last week. Last years giant killers will be looking for their first win of the season against the Pistons, they are 0-5.

Another team with zero wins. It is not going to be easy. Back to back with loaded minutes to the starters and two starter injuries.

I hope we outscore the temperature in CA today.

Some places expect to hit 100

With tonight's opponent (Golden State) having been off for five days the Pistons will need as many healthy bodies as possible to contend with the Warrior's helter-skelter style of play.
That likely means playing time for Hunter, who has yet to appear in a game this season.
"We just want to get him (Hunter) out there, to do what he does," Saunders said. "Defend for us, knock down open shots, get us in our offense ... give us three or four really good minutes."

I am wondering about what Flip is thinking and how his thinking process works. What can a player possibly accomplish in 3 or 4 minutes??? I wonder if he's thinking that by giving Arron and Amir 5 minutes in a game gives them enough playing experience to grow their games? Heck, if my math is correct 5 minutes is more than 50% longer than 3 minutes.

Antonio McDyess re-aggravated the stretched ligaments in his left shoulder and had to leave the game with 6:30 left. X-rays taken afterward were negative, but he was in great pain and questionable for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors.

Billups sat in the locker room Tuesday night with ice bags on both his right hip and left knee. The hip injury, believed to be a bone bruise, came courtesy of a Channing Frye knee. Billups later twisted his left knee.

"We won't know anything until closer to game time," coach Flip Saunders said. "We will just have to see."

If they can't play, the Pistons probably will start Flip Murray at point guard and either Jason Maxiell or Jarvis Hayes at power forward. The Warriors deploy a small lineup, so the Pistons could get by with Hayes up front.

Starters Billups, McDyess questionable

Good, let the reserves play. Hopefully Amir can finally get on the court, that is if Lindsey won't eat up all of his allotment. I just don't get it, does it take injuries to the starters to force Flip to play bench?

Chauncey is out tonight. Flip Murray will start, and Lindsey Hunter will backup @ PG.
