Hmmm....will a smaller lineup with more bench work on the Celts? (It better; they can go bigger than us).

I say yes. Pistons 105, Celts 98.

"Coming back here, I used to look forward to competing against these guys," Wallace said. "I knew what they were going to bring to the table and how they were going to play and it made for some exciting basketball games. Now some of the thrill is gone."

No more hook-ups with the girlfriend that gained 50 lbs, is in a crappy marriage, and who's house went into foreclosure!

GO NUGGETS!!!

Djokovic wins Masters Cup

SHANGHAI, China - Novak Djokovic’s victory celebration turned out to be more dangerous than his opponent. Jubilant after overwhelming Russia’s Nikolay Davydenko 6-1, 7-5 in the Masters Cup final Sunday, Djokovic tossed just about everything in reach — two rackets, wristbands and his sweat-soaked shirt — into the cheering crowd at Qi Zhong stadium. Then he headed to the players box, where his

Apologies if other posters want to start some of these game blogs, but allow me the indulgence of superstition since the Pistons have won the last two games.

Leandro Barbosa is in Brazil burying his mother. Tough time for him, I'm sure. Matt Barnes is serving the second game of his two game suspension for his idiot shoulder pick that started that little fracas with Rafer and T-Mac against Houston.

This will be Stuckey's second game back, so he may get a few more minutes. Let's see if Afflalo can continue to play well. And, let's see if Amir can find some playing time. Would be a huge win to keep pace with Cleveland and Boston and sweep this four game west coast trip. This is a game where Iverson can really dominate once again because the Suns can't hide Nash on defense and put him on Rip or Tayshaun, so he has to defend Chuck. Rasheed generally plays well against Amare and he's played pretty well the previous two games.

Go Pistons!
