Looking forward Tay defending Cobe. Is CB playing?

Some so-called experts believed the aging Detroit Pistons would surrender their Central Division supremacy to younger, up-and-coming teams this season.

The Pistons are proving them wrong.

Detroit looks to make it three wins in four games on its current West Coast road trip in a matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night.

While both the Cleveland Cavaliers, who beat the Pistons in last season's Eastern Conference finals, and the Chicago Bulls have struggled to sub-.500 records, Detroit (6-2) is playing like it's headed for a fourth straight Central Division title and sixth in seven years.

Finally this game is here. The teams can get this one out of the way and then the Lakers and Pistons can complete their trade.

Yeah, can we get Jackson for Flip, please? We'd give Lakers a 1st round pick to go with that and both second rounders we got for Delfino.

I don't believe CB is playing tonight.

Thankfully, we only make 2 western trips each season. These late games are tough to stay up for!

This game is "fun to watch"(that's for THE LOW!) LOL.

I love seeing Samb out there. I like watching this different chemistry. Everytime Flip actually gives the bench significant minutes, it makes for a more interesting game and makes me a believer that we have a really good team.

Note: WTH with Chauncey watching the game from the locker room because he doesn't have a sport jacket or suit with him?What? You're a friggin' millionaire that just signed a new gazillionaire deal and you don't take a suit on a road trip? And no one else had a jacket they could loan him? No one? I mean that is just SO CHAUNCEY! You weren't planning on getting injured so you didn't take a sportcoat? This guy is a pretty dim bulb I'll tell you. Wait? How about sending someone to the sportjacket store and buy you one in your size with all that money you've got? Unreal.

Great game though. I hope we get to see lots more of our bench. How about that shotblocking effort!!! Yeah. GO PISTONS!

They interviewed Billups on ESPN and he said that he expected to play but called it at the last minute so he did not bring a jacket with him. But yes you are right, he could have had one sent in. Maybe he will?
