[Mcdyess]

the pistons record is 13-2 not 13-1

[STUCKEY!]

I say Tayshaun will have a career night this game in some way

[Brian]

I expect this to be a tough game for us. GSW is much improved plus we haven't played in almost a week.

[bruindre]

The Warriors just lost a tough one to the Suns, essentially getting out-executed in the last 3 minutes of the game.

W's might have had a little rust, having their first consecutive days off of the season, for the Phoenix game. They ought to be a little sharper for Detroit.

That being said, the Pistons look scary. Between their defense and the new offensive freedoms Flip has allowed, I don't see the Warriors winning this one.

Good luck, Pistons fans.

[MLKG]

Wow, we're actually playing a game?

We've only played 15 so far this season. No other team has played less than 17. Most teams have played 18 or 19.

I haven't really looked at the schedule, but to have that few games so far we must have some pretty vicious stretches coming up at some point.

[MightyReds2020]

Murphy and Foyle have 'flu-liked' symptons and are game-time decisions. If both of them can't go, there's no reason the Pistons can't blow the Warriors out tonight.

I do hope that Warriors pulled out a miracle.

[Austin Kent]

This would be a nice time to see Darko and Max start...of course. Then when the Warriors begin to blow us out we will switch back, but hey, it'll keep the fans happy. I gotta say it would be nice to see more of what the other guys can do.

[Yoyo]

It's great that you guys think so highly of GS, but I don't think the Warriors can take the Pistons even with everyone for reasons bruindre has mentioned. If the Warriors don't have Murphy, it'll likely be a Pistons blowout...otherwise, it'll be a closer matchup and perhaps GS even has a shot of winning.

[Copper]

It will be interesting to see how the Pistons respond to their mini break. Im sure the rust will show, but I hope they can shake it off and get the w.

[Yoyo]

Foyle and Murphy have decided to play with the flu. Should be interesting...

[Brian]

This just in Carlos Arroyo still sucks. He couldn't guard either Fish or Davis.

[Austin Kent]

I am just watching the Knicks/Suns games and managed to catch the half time Pistons highlights...the announcer said something that could quite possibly be true. The Warriors and Pistons together sport the two best back courts in the league. Neato.

[Copper]

Am I watchin with my Homer glasses again? or are there some extremely obvious calls being blown by the refs in favor of the Warriors? Fisher couldnt have been any more offensive when he ran over Wallace, unless he went and got his car. And Foyle just ran Billups into Fisher with a moving shoulder tackle, even earlier the bs call on Dyess when he stripped the ball, or the horribly late whistle on the imaginary blocking call. just to name a few....is it me?
