First road game of an always fun, but short (this time), west coast road trip. Sacramento is 0-2 including a 20 points plus defeat to the Hornets, so there's obviously some problems going on there. I haven't seen them play this year, so I don't know what that problem is. I know they have Piston killer Bonzi Wells, but he'll be chasing Rip, who is on fire and is running like it too.

EDIT: Mike Bibby is only averaging 6.5 points, so I'm pretty sure that's a big reason they've been struggling.

I dont think theyll have a problem gettin up for us. I expect a tough run and gun game outta them.

The Kings have been struggling, but there is a reason I predicted this as the Pistons' first of three October losses: we're going out West Coast for the first time this season, and the Kings still can be a dangerous team on any given night. This game may be more of a test than people realize. Maybe I'll be eating crow at the end, but the Pistons may need to get up for this one... especially after a blowout win, they might come out soft and that would be very bad.

However, I am a huge fan of Tayshaun's continued development into a playmaker for the Pistons. He's developed to the point where I consider him the number two option in our offense, ahead of Chauncey Billups and Rasheed Wallace. Rasheed can concentrate on doing his thing down low and getting the points when they come to him, and Chauncey can concentrate on making plays and finding the open man... any offense where those are the third and fourth best options is a hell of an offense.

This team has me very excited right now, more so than last year coming off of the championship, honestly.

We are coming off a big win, they are coming off a big loss. I don't think we will get lazy but the Kings will be looking for a win. I expect a good game.

Thank you, Ian, for being oh so eloquent.

On a side note: Am I the only person that thinks that Peja Stojakovic looked a hell of a lot better with his hair buzzed? He looked dangerous. Now he just looks... like a middle aged white guy.

He wants that sleeper look.

keeping the tallys going in the win column tonight. 13-0 still looks good.

I am currently recovering from my 10,000 ucash loss for the Kings vs. Suns game. I just bet a few more K's for the Pistons to win this one. So for the first time in my life I find myself saying, Go Pistons.
