    I wrote this last night but might need to say it again NOTHING we say or do on this board will have an affect on this game. I guess all fans want to feel like the Actually can change outcome from home BUT WE CANT.

    Rest Harden, Bullard said he was still hurting against the Celtics. We can't afford any injuries to him.

    We're playing in a flow without Dwight.....But, James is not 100 % today.. And, Detroit is strong inside...matchup issues ....I'm assuming we get outrebounded badly tonight......and there is the back to back aspect.

    Toss in Jennings being out too ....

    Close victory IMO at best.

    Unfortunately, if I was a betting man....I'd take Detroit and the points tonight ...

    I believe that you are correct. It will be difficult to win without a 100 percent Harden.

    Yes, it is dangerous to risk re-injury.

    Man the Pistons used to be perpetually good. Now they are very vanilla.

    we are talking about the knee to knee contact he had couple games ago right? there is nothing to re injure, its a bruise knee rest might be thing for it but there is no risk of a re injury

    Dorsey starting again. Is it just psychological at this point?

    He plays first 6 min of each half and thats it if there is no foul trouble and just use our 3 man rotation the rest of the half

    Dmo's become our 2nd best player. Josh Smith our 3rd. Those guys just have great chemistry.
