Whoops! Sorry guys, game starts at 8:00 PM EST, not 6:00.

please don't play sheed. let him rest the ankle tonight and against philly. we don't need him until friday against the spurs anyway.

Can we finally beat these guys?

I say yes, mostly because "these guys" aren't really "those guys" that we lost to before.

Let's hope our guys come to play and don't try and be a hero.

Lets hope Larry Hughes tries to become a hero.

Lets see if the Bulls are smart enough to have Hughes guard Billups.

DAMN YOU WIL! I saw that the game was at 6, so I told this girl to come over around 8:30ish to watch a movie, then I just looked again and its now listed at 8. I haven't seen a game in weeks.

Perhaps you should email Langlois for advice?

Dear Keith,

I've come across a strange circumstance. I can either watch the Pistons game or watch the Lethal Weapon movies with a girl from my web design class. I haven't seen a Pistons game in at least 2 weeks but this is supposed to be our first date. I'm not sure what to do. With your vast knowledge and experience with basketball and women, what would you do?

Make her watch the Pistons game. You'll be sure to get laid. I know Stuckey always gets me hot.

ESPN has some fine ass HD, tough call between that and Blaha.

Is it simulcast on FSND or TV20??? It will depend whos calling the game for me to debate where I watch it. If it's Dan Schulman and Dorris Burke, then I'll watch Blaha. If it's Tirico & Hubie, I can tolerate them.

If it's any combinations of Mike Breen, JVG, Mark Jackson, Jon Barry, or Bill Walton, than I'll watch Blaha as well...

I'll be in the house for this one. Looking to improve on our 13-1 mark when I'm at the game.....

Hell, let's pull some cash together and make sure that you're at every playoff game this year.

I put in for my playoff tickets already. I should be at every game.

It's my going-away present to myself. I'm out of here as soon as the finals are over.

Also, the palace is fucking awesome for their discounts. I'm getting NBA finals tickets (if they make it) at like $80 a pop. First round tickets are cheaper than my regular season tickets.

Well, then let's send you on the road.

Does your juju still work there?

eh?

I thought you were implying that your presence at the game held some sort of mystical power over the outcome, the "juju".

Anyhoo, anybody got any word on Sheed for tonight? The local hacks appear to be asleep at the wheel again.

I'm only 1-1 in road attendance.

The Pistons are 6-3 when I've been to games this year...

Last year they were actually under .500 in games I went to...


I'm a bad luck charm

All of Switzerland will be actively watching tonights epic showdown...

We clinch a playoff spot with a win tonight, FYI.

Sheed is out. Ratliff to start again.

And its game time on ESPN! (because I don't have MY20)

ESPN has a female announcer on this. I didn't catch the announcers names, so I'm not sure who it is. I miss Blaha :(

Any telecast I get down here is fine with me.

Larry Hughes with the deuce!

Pistons are playing sloppy. Dice looks like crap so far. He needs to get back into a groove sometime this season/

Yeah it has been sucky so far.

Typical Flip style rotations. 4 bench guys and Rip on the floor.

OT...How was your Florida trip Zek? Lots of chicks in bikinis?

Ok, now its Stuckey, Dixon, Jarvis, Amir, and Theo.........

Oh dear god yes. Small clothing everywhere! Actually met a girl down there that's from Toledo, she's on her way over to watch a movie right now, I'm trying to get in as much of the Pistons game as I can before she gets here.

We're up 12, I'm not going to complain. Yet.

Nice spin move and drive by Stuckey, although I thought he should have backed off there. Drove right into 3 Bulls bigs, but drew the foul.

Wow.. look at Dixon tear Ben Gordon a new asshole...

wait...

Record the game

its an honor and a privelege to watch chauncy and rip man our backcourt, ratler doesnt look to bad either.

Jarvis with the slash and score! The lead is now just six with five left in the half. Gordon makes a jumper to shorten it to four.

also, i'll be back in an hour or so, im off to watch the wire.

ben gordon is a legitimate hall of fame candidate.

I don't hate Noah, I think he works his ass off out there and works hard every minute and is definitely a useful piece to have, but godamn if he isn't terrible at basketball.

Chauncey puts it at 10.

The Rattler with the jump hook!

CHauncey with 20 in the first half!

Can anyone tell me why the Suns jerseys said Los Suns today? Are they trying to get the Los Angeles version of Shaq by doing that?

You know ESPN's SAS isn't that bad. I wrote him off, but have been giving him another look in the last momph. He's growing on me.

Goad dayumit, the lead is only 4 again.

Why the fuck are they giving Gooden so many calls? Garbage.

please, PLEASE take dice out!!!!!!!!! he's stinking it up. we need amir's energy.

the spurs had 'los spurs' on their jerseys too. apparently it's some nba promotion to appeal to the latino community.

Down goes Prince

i hope that's just prince's funny bone....

he seems OK. great.

might not have looked like much. but i've hit my funny bone and it made my whole arm feel like it had been chopped off. the pain last for a few minutes then it feels sort of tingley and numb.

it appears that's what prince experienced. he just hit a 3, so i'm assuming he's OK!

billups is singlehandedly beating the bulls.

Prince gettin jiggy wid it

prince with the HUGE facial dunk over gooden!!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck the refs...that was a tremendous block by aj

AMIR!@!!@

Theo's looked damn useful.

rajon rondo, not a great freethrow shooter... atleast by percentage.

lol. the female color commentator is funny. i turn the game on and thats the first thing i hear. wonder if she had any other gems like this during hte game.

Theo Ratliff seems to be quite a decent role player if you ask me. Definitely should be considered for a permanent rotation spot once Sheed comes back...

10 pts, 8 reb, 3 blks, +7 while on the floor...

Nice win

14-1.

Start Theo for the rest of the season.

14-1.

Start Theo for the rest of the season.
Uhhh fuck no.

But he was solid though. But I woulda preferred better team defense against the Bulls. I'll take it though with a few real tests coming up.

BTW, the Bulls bitch at each other more than any team I've ever seen in person.

They literally do nothing but argue the whole time. Noah is the biggest bitch of them all, but he's hardly alone.

If you want the best team defense possible, put sheed and theo out there and watch the paint get locked down.

He's the riot starter, everyone else tales after. whoever coaches that team needs to kick his ass to get its attention.

Dont know about that. Theo still needs to catch up on our schemes and he looks a lil too slow at the moment. Chicago bigs were running circles around him.


Also I'm not liking Dixon much at PG. he makes some funky ass decisions. Alot of those funny decisions helped the bulls get back in it the first time. And on defense he's a for mismatch for the other team to go after.

14-1.

Start Theo for the rest of the season.

Only if we can send Dice to the D-League.

Just got back from this game. Sat up in the nosebleeds, and had a great time. Chauncey had a hell of a night.

blame paxon. you cant go into a season with everything up in the air like he did.

biffing on blockbuster after blockbuster, guys who were looking for their first big contract of their career seeing their name attatched to every trade rumor in the league.

i dont think you can overestimate how bad of a job paxon has done.

hes a classic example of the saying: "more is lost to indecision than to bad decision". what a clown.

Am I the only one that thought that Tay's injury and sudden recovery was a bit "D-WADE"-ish?

God, that was hard to type.

From the NBA.com boxscore:


Technical Fouls
2nd Qtr 10:19 Phillip Saunders

Ha, take that PHIL!

Am I the only one that thought that Tay's injury and sudden recovery was a bit "D-WADE"-ish?

God, that was hard to type.

I think you guys are being dishonest.

When he was squirming around on the floor in pain, I was thinking "fuck, he's really hurt".

I was starting to picture Valter in the rotation and Hayes starting.

It wasn't good.

And then, after like 5 minutes kicking and yelling on the floor with his teammates around him, he popped up, shook his hand and shot two free throws.

He then proceeded to play better than he has in weeks, throwing down dunks, etc.

My wife even said, "man, he was really milking that injury, wasn't he?"

She mentioned Mateen and I had to tell her to shut it.

I agree. Move Dyess back to the bench, have him play 25 minutes a night rather than 30...

Theo is PERFECT for the role. Plus unlike Sheed, he can win the opening tip.

Not to mention, HoopsHype had a brief article about Theo takling to Joe D about him coming back next year to be the 5th big...

If you look at Tay, there isn't much cushion.

I didn't see it, but I wouldn't doubt he milked it. He's had a growing flair for the dramatic with the way he always bitches to the refs. Its starting to get old.

Theo is PERFECT for the role. Plus unlike Sheed, he can win the opening tip.
I think Sheed -could- win the opening tip if he wanted to.

The one thing Jerome James was good at besides fouling was winning the opening tip, which is how he got to be a starter.
