Sorry Pistons, but it's the last night of football.

Didn't they used to play MLK games in the afternoon?

Yes, they did last year. I guess NBA figured they could go head to head vs the Natty.....

That football game may be over by halftime. Indiana is in a league of their own. Either way, I'm watching this NBA matchup. 2 of the top teams in the East? Yes sir!!

Cade will start the ASG.  Reserves will be named at a later date.  

 

[Deleterious]

I was going to comment that Cade came in 1st for player voting.  Quite an honor since they probably know best.  Then I saw this.

Want to know how bad the eastern conference is? A team whose best player hasnt played a single second this season is currently the second seed.

i'm 53 years old.  its been that way ever since i started watching basketball.  the only time the celtics dont get calls is when they play the lakers.  then the refs are too confused about who to favor so they just call the game.

Boston needed one more call than they got tonight.

This incredibly impressive 2-year turnaround cotinued.    We keep waiting for the floor to dropout, don't we?  Like it's not real.   But the Knicks were chasing them and played them and the Pistons dismantled them.  Now the Celtics are chasing them and they went toe-to-toe and beat them too. 

 

Please do something to make this team a little better at the deadline.  They've been great.  JB Bickerstaff is a great coach, who has not yet worn thin (it will happen eventually, it always does).   There are a number of players out there that could help this team get even better.   Please don't be like all our other teams and basically sit out the trade deadline.      Please no Charlie Morton-types.   Go get someone good.   F The Draft Picks.  You've got a young team already and a stacked bench, you can afford to sacrifice a little future capital - because you could win the whole thing right now.  The whole thing.  OKC and San Antonio be warned, The Pistons will be no cakewalk.  You'll need to toughen up.

The lift this team gets from Stewart blocking shots is amazing. Making a 3 point shot is exciting but when Stew blocks a shot, the whole team and crowd gets energized. Good stuff.

To me, the greatest play in my Pistons memory is Tayshaun's block.  That was breathtaking and it saved the game.    For me it was a jump out of the recliner and scream thing.    Not as big, but more exciting than Vinny's 00.7 shot - and that won a title.
