    Contain Drummond and the rest should fall into place

    That'll be a real challenge for Capela, but I think the real matchup to watch is Harris. He's fairly mobile and their leading scorer. Anderson really needs to step up defensively or we'll need to sub in Dekker really fast.

    And also the matchup of Marcus Morris too. Maybe even KCP if he gets hot.

    Pistons are 5-1 at home. It'll be tough.

    I'd bet it's mainly because the Vipers don't have another game until Saturday, so might as well have the guys practice with the team.

    I don't care if we lose, I just want to see our rebounding and defense continue to improve.

    Serious danger game. Their frontcourt is big and versatile with Drummond, Baynes and Morris.Especially on the boards.

    The Rockets seem to have a lot of trouble in most of their visits to Detroit.

    Drummond has 40 pounds and 2" on Capela. Tough match up.

    And they've lost 3 in a row. And the most recent loss was a heart breaker, 94-92. They're gonna be thirsty.

    Yeah they've dropped 3 of the last 4 against them. Harden had to drop 38 points at home with fluke perfrmances from Jones (17 points) and Brewer (15 points) as well as the Pistons shooting 6/29 from 3.

    Their front court continues to get better with the emergence of Drummond.
