I am not looking forward to this game, but then nobody looks forward to playing the Pistons these days.

Almost as good as the memory of actually being there.

Actually, no little kids waving signs in my face? It may be better!

The sonics just cut probably the only back pg (Mateen Cleaves) worse then Arroyo. I am kidding I am sure there are 1 or 2 other pgs out there that are worse then Arroyo. The Sonics are better then there record but this is game we should win pretty easily on our homecourt.

Worst. 1st Rou... oh wait, we drafted Rodney White, didn't we?

Mateen Cleaves is awesome. I love that guy. Do you hate him because he's a Spartan? I forget side you're on. Being a Michigan State fan makes this easy for me.

Yeah I am U of M fan. His spartan teams regular beat Michigan by 40. Then of course he went on to be drafted by the pistons and do nothing. I honestly didn't expect much he never had a jump shot in college of course I knew he wouldn't be able to score on the NBA level. Thank god the Sacramento Kings were in salary cap hell so they were forced to trade for him.

Looking forward to a game, I dont care who we face I just need something to watch...

Lets hope they decide to play before halftime so I don't hafta hear the following from my wife at halftime, "I'm just going to start reading my book through the first half because they don't start the damn game until the third quarter" lol. I'm really pleased with myself turning my south side of Chicago wife into such a psycho Pistons fan btw.

Good work on the wife BGD, I know how she feels though, the only thing worth watching in the first 3 quarters is usually seeing who is played off of the bench and how they produce.

Johan Petro is starting at the 5 & Vlad at the 4....unless something has changed, that's what Hill wants. Your bigs are going to KILL our 19 yr old centers.

Apparently Danny & Vitaly, the two veterans are injured for this game, so that leaves Mikki Moore as our other veteran.... . I'd guess if our young guys get into foul trouble fast, Reggie Evans might be forced to play some 5....eek. Nick too.

I don't expect the Sonics to win. Beating Chicago is nice, but Chicago is not Detroit. Detroit might shoot the Sonics out of the building before the 4th even starts.

I'm expecting a Sonics loss here, but it could be an interesting game if the Sonics hit their outside shots and the Pistons come out a little complacent.

If it's a blowout, then we'll have a battle of the 20 year old centers...Darko vs Petro/Swift.

darko is actually older than those two young pups, maybe the pistons will start the big serbian and give some of the bigs there a rest, just kidding.
