Sacramento Jan 18th, 8:00 PM TV - FSDHD, NBALP The Kings come to the Palace with only four road wins at the time of this post. John Salmons is playing very well for the Kings, as his name should be now mentioned in the MIP voting.
This a revenge game as the Kings beat the Pistons by 10 on that ill fated west coast trip in November. The Pistons jumped off to 58-52 halftime lead only to fizzle out in the second half getting outscored by 18, and losing 105-95. Little Kmart is back from injury and coming off the bench the last 3 games averaging 29 pts a game. Their road woes contiue as they were blown out by 25 tonight by the Raptors...remember them? Delfino scored 26 tonight as Sam decided to leave him in longer
Bibby and Artest are back as well. If you don't know all the details, the team sounds mighty interesting with Bibby, Artest, and Kevin Martin coming off the bench.
Bibby may be playing for Cleveland before the Kings game with us. Cavs will try, again, to trade for Bibby - Rumors - NBA - Yahoo! Sports
Trade or not but with healthy team Kings are PO runners. Pistons are lucky, they are playing with not-yet -so -good-but-soon-to-be-good Kings. And Kings beat Pistons under similar condicions , so I'll take it as "fair trade".
Smart money has us as humongous favorites. What is interesting is that we have one of, if not the best record in the league against the line. Might be AJ time tonight.
All you guys who went to the game tonight should have been chanting at the game. "We want Amir" Maybe if you guys could get a chant like that going, who knows what would result. Amiiiiir Baaaallllll
I like the T-Shirt campaign. Maybe a catchy little AJ saying on the front and a PF.com logo on the back?
Chat is open! http://www.pistonsforum.com/misc.php?do=flashchat I'm going to miss this game and record it. Got the Flu, and I need some sleep. Goooo Pistons!
Stuckey is not good at all defensively. He's been burned 3 or 4 times already, and he hasn't even been in the game that long. The disparity b/w having AA in the game vs him is glaring right now.
Halftime and Pistons down by 8 after lerading by 12 in the first qtr. Kmart burn then for 16 points in the second qtr before going out with a injured hand..THANK GOODNESS. Bibby also chipped in 11 of the bench in the 2nd qtr. Bottom line.. Sac Bench outscored our bench 36-3. as our guys were 1-6 with Stuckey and hayes just looking awful, and Fip plays them instead of experimenting with Amir and Allflolo. CB and Sheed have already hoisted up 8 three balls in the first half...does this team ever learn???
