Game 58: Detroit Pistons vs. Golden State Warriors
TV: FSN Detroit; Radio: WDFN 1130 AM - The Fan

The Palace of Auburn Hills - Auburn Hills, MI

The skinny: After narrowly beating the team with the NBA’s worst record on Saturday, the Pistons come home to face a reeling team in Golden State. The Warriors are on a six-game losing streak that has seen them virtually fall out of playoff contention at 26-35. Golden State, a 6-25 road team, is on the last of a five-game road trip and playing without both Baron Davis and Stephen Jackson. Not that the Warriors needed any more obstacles, but they’re faced with several. Not only did they suffer an emotionally wrenching loss Sunday at Washington when Gilbert Arenas made three free throws with one-tenth of a second left to win by one, it was enabled by a technical foul called on coach Don Nelson. Three starters played heavy minutes, too, with guards Jason Richardson and Monta Ellis both going over 43.

What to watch: Rasheed Wallace has skipped the last two games with a sprained left foot and could be held out again if the coaching staff figures it could survive Golden State with less than a full cast. The Pistons were nowhere near as sharp as they’d been in their weekend split with Miami and Memphis, but they don’t have much room for error in their unforgiving March schedule. After tonight and Wednesday’s game with visiting Cleveland, the Pistons hit the road for five games as part of a March that will see them play 11 of their 17 games away from The Palace.

Should be able to beat these no-defense-playing chumps.

Another game that would be inexcusable to lose.

Rip's going off IMO.

YONKEE!

That first half along with the Miami game are making me think that the Pistons will be lucky to get to the ECF unless something changes. They have seemingly lost that composure that they had when they were champions. Almost everyone on the team whines about calls, makes stupid passes at key moments, and just seem very nervous with the ball in the clutch. We have definitely lost our defensive edge and G.S. has just picked our zone defense apart. I still think that this team is good enough to win it all skill wise but they seemed to have lost their composure for big stretches and at clutch times. Anyone care to guess what's wrong???

Max and Delfino bring down the teams attitude.

You mean us, right?!
<groan>

we're going to need maxiell to deliever a few more Jimmy Johns if were going to get back in this game.

We gave up 111 points? 111? ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN!?

Where was the f'in DEFENSE? I can deal with games like the Miami one, because of our generally STELLAR record when holding teams under 90 points. But giving up 111? Get the f outta here.

1. our interior defense IS rasheed wallace. Without him, it's layup city.

2. Our guards are to blame for playing to golden state's tempo. Running up and down the floor with them was inexcusable, and only put our big men in a position to get burned.

3. Ronald Dupree is a waste of an active roster spot. cut him please.

Pathetic game. Players should be fired (Flip & Dupree). Coaches too (at least Flip....please)

depressed today

not going to post much

send in your thank you cards & letters

so what happened? I left for my football game and the Pistons were up something like 45-35. I come back and they get blown out. They looked pretty good in the first quarter and a half that I watched (except for Biedrins getting open layups).

Well, let's see......we forgot how to play defense.....Rip disappeared.....Chauncey kinda disappeared......Webber stunk....we got outrebounded by 11......they picked apart our defense aloowing 22 fast break points and a shocking 46 points in the paint........those are the lowlights!!!!

Max got a T for being intimidating?:


Second-year forward Jason Maxiell received the first technical foul of his NBA career against Golden State on Monday, following a stare-down with Warriors guard Baron Davis. "I didn't say anything to him, I just looked at him," Maxiell said. "I guess the refs didn't like the way I was looking at him."

If J-MaXxX can get a technical for being intimidating, I expect him to get thrown out of each game before the opening tip-off occurs.

Shades of Sheed! I really hope JD protests this one.
