After a successful three-game road trip, the Detroit Pistons return to an arena where they never seem to lose.

The Pistons put their 14-game home winning streak on the line when they host the Atlanta Hawks at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

The run is Detroit's longest in a single season since a 15-game home winning streak from Jan. 26-April 2, 1990. The Pistons also have not lost a game in regulation at the Palace all season. Detroit's only two home losses came on Nov. 25, 120-114 to Washington in double overtime, and on Jan. 7, a 94-90 overtime defeat to Utah.

Detroit is at home for seven of its next nine games, and 11 of its final 17. The Pistons need to go 12-5 to break the franchise mark of 63 wins, set in 1988-89.

The Pistons wrapped up their 2-1 road swing with a 108-103 victory Saturday at Charlotte. Detroit scored more than 100 points on all three games after reaching the century mark just once in its previous 20 contests.

Despite the impressive output, the Pistons went scoreless for more than three minutes late in the fourth quarter Saturday, but allowed just one Charlotte free throw over that stretch to help them hang on for the win.

"The biggest thing that I was impressed with was the last three or four minutes, our defense was (good)," Detroit coach Flip Saunders said. "It we played like that for 48 (minutes), we'd make things a lot easier for ourselves."

Richard Hamilton scored 23 points to lead six Pistons in double figures, but he arrives back home a bit lighter in the wallet. The NBA fined Hamilton $5,000 Sunday for throwing a ball into the stands during Friday night's 105-103 loss at lowly New York.

Chauncey Billups had 20 points -- including four 3-pointers -- in Saturday's win, and Tayshaun Prince added 18 as the Pistons shot 57 percent from the field.

The victory helped Detroit avoided losing consecutive games for just the second time this season. The only time the Pistons dropped two in a row this season was Feb. 4-7 at Indiana and Atlanta, respectively.

Zaza Pachulia lifted the Hawks to a 108-107 victory over Orlando Sunday when he tipped in Joe Johnson's missed layup with 2.4 seconds remaining in overtime to snap a four-game losing streak.

Johnson scored 40 points for the third time this season and added 11 assists, but Hawks coach Mike Woodson said Pachulia's effort was the main reason for the victory.

"He's been our workhorse all year," Woodson said. "I've said he's kind of been my MVP because we pretty much have played all year with one big guy. He's done all the dirty work. I'm constantly yelling and screaming at him because I need him. And he responded, big time."

Pachulia pulled down a career-high 18 rebounds, including 12 on the offensive end. He scored 13 points, his third consecutive game in double figures.

The Pistons have won five of the last six meetings in the series, including the last two at the Palace.

will there be female nudity and an unfamily environment at this game? if so good.

Normally I would've predicted a 20 point blowout but given our recent play, that seems highly unlikely.

We're 28-2 at home and they are 7-24 on the road.

Should be a cakewalk, I just hope nobody gets hurt when Flip leaves the starters out there too long.

I hear that they have been putting the alpacas through secret training sessions in preparation for Wednesday night, so I hope nobody slips on alpaca shit that got missed by the janitors.

Zeeb your an artist in ways that border on insanity. [smilie=applause.gi:
now im rev'd up for this game!

And Bubbles worries me. If We lose she may start head spinning and puking on the resident catholic priest. She's already cussing like a group of sailors. [smilie=anxious.gif]

I don't understand what happened to the top of the pic though.


That really pisses me off, I just noticed it. [smilie=404.gif]

Buy all these expensive ass programs, and all they do is screw with your life.

"That's an ugly shot" - Rick Mahorn laughing at Josh Childress' jumper

Sound like the Pistons are playing some scrappy defense in the first quarter. Pistons up 10 at the end of the 1st.

good stuff.

wow, Ben with 6 boards, 4 steals, and 5 points early in the second quarter!.

didn't Flip say that Carlos would probably get in tonight? i just heard Mo entered the game....

http://www.amber-sky.com/images/liarliar.jpg

Delfino has entered. And Mo is playing really well tonight.

SIGNED, SEALED, DELIVERED. WE OWN THIER ASSES.

This is the kind of play we should see every night. That stretch at the beginning of the 2nd where Prince and Ben and Hunter were all over the place....omg, I havent seen hustle like that in a long while.

CENTRAL DIVISION CHAMPS!!!


WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

53-13. Good tune-up for Miami.

Didnt blow them out but didnt let them back in the game either. Not going to get upset over the final score when John Smith is raining threes on you.

BTW, we're not central division champs. Our magic number is 1.

Technically, if cleveland wins out and we lose out, cleveland wins the division.

Dude, Fred McLeod said we're the central division champs, and like Cleaveland is going to catch us. Stop raining on my party of sarcasim.

Ugly win. I wish this team would show up for just the first 5 minutes of the 2nd half of these 15-19 point games. It would save so much hassle and we might actually get to see some Maxiell Time. But of course not. They always let them back in immediately, and play this 8-14 point margin thing so they have to play the entire 2nd half.

LOL. Anyone hear the we want Darko chant go up?

Give Atlanta some credit. They never let up for the entire game. They played well enough not to get totally blown out.

Magic # to clinch the central: 1

Magic # to clinch the conference: 9

Magic # to clinch the league: 15

Give Atlanta some credit. They never let up for the entire game. They played well enough not to get totally blown out.

nah, the Pistons played bad enough to let them back in. They stopped challenging every shot, and they gave up on the boards. Not to mention they seem to go into a "Burn clock - chuck shot" offense when they get up double digits.

Think about it like this. If the Hawks hit all of their FTs, they win the game. They missed 8 of 12.

and ifs and buts were candy and nuts.....

Everyone seems to have something to whine and complain.

SHUT UP!

If the Pistons hit all theirs, we still win. What's your point?

i actually have minmal complaints about this game. it was better than we've played in like a month on defense. i found it a shame that mo evans got time. but the team defense was so good that for once it didnt matter. hopefully the team defense will get better for miami and hopefully we won't make brain farts on which guy to put on evans ninja turtle brother wade.
punkass heroes in a half shell can take their turtle power and shove it. the irony in his knickname being flash.

a lowpoint for this board was all the tayshaun prince hate that was going on. hopefully that will never return.

His level of play deserved every bit of criticsm he got.

people crying that we way over paid and saying that we needed to trade him?!??

no, that was never justified.

wtfchris showed ~100 times that his numbers were down a smidgen from last year (while our offense was actually up).

the tayshaun ripping was lame.

And I showed a hundred fucking times that his efficiency (Shooting %) has been dropping like a rock. Not to mention, his rebounding and defense have been non-existant till now.

and now he's playing fine so its a good fucking thing we didnt cut him or trade him or any of the other dumb ass shit people were whining about while tayshaun was shooting 10% less than normal or wasnt getting rebounds that ben and sheed were supposed to be getting.

Our last 5 opponents:

New York
Charlotte
Atlanta

1st, no one wanted to cut him. 2nd, look at the teams they have faced lately...

Charlotte
Toronto
New York
Charlotte
Atlanta

Exactly.

3rd, rebounding is a TEAM thing. Sheed can't rebound 2 on 5. It just doesn't work that way.

LOL. Anyone hear the we want Darko chant go up?
It was actually a "We want Subway" chant. Unfortunately, the Pistons didn't make it to 95 points, so no coupons.

Oh damn. Then I laughed for nothing.

I would like to personally welcome Sheed back to the post. (and he didn't even have to back anybody down!)

NOW STAY THERE!!!!

Yeah, sheed was kickin some ass down there.

My question is, will Flip see the defensive intensity that Hunter and Delfino brought last night and get a http://www.biffleys.com/Winning%20Moves/pictures/clue.jpg?

but the cause and answer was too simple to be screaming the sky is falling. if you dont call his number to start games off, he differs. this isnt rocket science or a big secret. i think Flip gets that he has to run some plays for him to get him involved.
