Popovich is awesome LOL

I agree, Pop is awesome!
How many 'ships do you think the Pistons would have over the last 6 years with G-Pop runnin' the show?

My answer: more than one

We probably would have won on the even years.

Very good point.

that was too funny. yeah he is awesome along with his beard

Anybody watching the Hawks? They're legit. I adopted them as my 2nd team since i've always been a huge JJ fan, and the PO's last year. They're winning with defense, and look like they're going to be a tough out. Hopefully they can knock out either CLE or BOS (hell, even ORL) if/when they make the PO's.

Pistons, Hawks, Jazz, and Lakers.

The 4 remaining unbeaten teams in the NBA right now.

Hawks are surprising me. I seriously thought the lost of J-Chill would affect them greatly.

After scoring 55 points in one game, now TParker is loss for 2 weeks with an ankle injury. Spurs will struggle for awhile....Maybe we can trade Alex Acker to them for one of their big men..oops they are weak there too...

Anyone watching the DEN game ?? The Nuggets are playing like . . . well us :suspiciou

Yeah but they had Mello & CB & Nene come up big in crunch time and we had some defense.

At least CB gets a win with his new team and I get to see his wife Piper for the first time....

CB's defense actually looked good for the most part. He was helping to trap .

And his wife usually looks better (in the pictures i've seen anyway)

10 assist from Chauncey?

CB had 10 dimes tonight and the Pistons had a total of 14.....

But CB had a Rip and Sheep like shooting night going 2-13...but alas, Chauncey has not lost a game this year and it appears that he and his team hae meshed already...

TOR's no defense squad is blowing out BOS. (I probably just jinxed it). I am going to go be bitter about the CB trade some more.

edited to add;

Couldn't Joe D waited until after the BOS game to make this trade? Would've been nice to see how that went. I doubt DEN was going to change their minds.

Yep Boston came back and blitz the Raptors in the second half with the big three scoring 76 points between them...

I knew it

ATL and LAL last two undefeated teams in the NBA. Hawks won't beat the Celtics though w/o Josh Smith.

And guess who that quote is about;

The OKY Thunder blew an opportunity for their second win of the season as they allowed the Suns to come back from a 16 point deficit to beat them on their home court when Matt Barnes hit a wide open 3 pointer with 26 seconds left in the game.

The Thunder led 70--54 with about 5 and half minutes left in the third quarter and watched watched the lead disappear as their experience showed and they allowed Nash to score 7 points in the last minute and a half to bring the Suns back and set up Barnes for the game winner.

You have to feel sorry for Kevin Durant who scored 29 points but saw his team lose for the fourteenth time this season. Guess we Piston fans have nothing to really complain about.
