The ultimate potential frightening let down game?

[Austin Kent]

I don't think so Chris, we're not losing this game, I thikn our players are still pissed that they got swept by the Jazz. It's far too early to have another let down.

[thekid]

Knight got hurt again and Rush has been out for a while. Felton and I believe Bogans are starting in their place.

[SolidGuy3]

I have never seen a more talented group of players than our team right now. This is truly our year and we will make it happen! If not for the Horry three point shot I think we could be looking at a three-peat this year, nonetheless, we will win because of great team chemistry and defense!

[DetroitDiesel]

Bernard Robinson has been starting for them lately btw. I've been much more worried about let down games than tough games with the pistons this season, but I can't see us losing to the bobs.

[Copper]

Unfortunately I have a poker tournament tonight and must miss the game. I pray against a letdown and hope they can put em away early and really get the bench some work. I know I say it almost every game but I really think we need to get minutes for the bench if we're gonna keep our starters healthy and rested come play offs.

[naibsel]

Ben has already got 6pts 3 rebs 2blks 2stls with 2:20 to go in the first. he could get a 20-20 pt/reb/blk/stl quadruple double if he keeps it up

[ChrisWoj]

Milicic out there. Started out without much an opportunity to see anything with two Charlotte makes away from him, a turnover, and a Billups three...

But the ball finally comes near him and Brezec proceeds to fake him out of position almost completely, Darko, instead of using his length to block from behind, tries to merely stand in front of him and wave his hands around, fouling and giving up the basket (potential 3 pt play).

*le sigh* Darko... Darko... Darko...

I swear, this must be enough to drive Brian to alcoholism.

[ChrisWoj]

Bad move on Darko too slow on a pick and roll... but he made a very nice dish to Tayshaun soon thereafter, it was a good crisp pass through the low post jumble.

I heard that the team will be getting Kareem Rush a Bobcats jersey during the All-Star break, until then he wears the Lakers jersey. It's kind of an interesting look, actually.

[rpoulos]

Did anybody see the Rip Hamilton lookalike..they showed him a bit toward the end of the game. Chauncy, Dyess, Sheed, and Rip were laughing their you know whats off...it was totally hilarious

I'd love to see that again!

[Austin Kent]

Wow, seven players in double figures and everybody got on the court. That's impressive. Mo Evans has 18, second leading scorer. Good to see

[SolidGuy3]

Great win by the Pistons tonight. Saw some highlights and Big Ben made some sick dunks. Rasheed Wallace has got to be the best 3 point shooting big man in the NBA, while he was in Portland I thought he took too many threes but having him be a three point threat opens up the whole offense for everybody else.
