8PM Wed Nov1 Milwaukee At Detroit Regular Season starts for the Detroit Pistons with this home opener against their 1st round opponent of last season. LocalTV - myTV20
It sounds like Bogut is trying to make it back for the season opener. Villanueva reminds me of Lamar Odom... skilled offensive player but lazy on defense.... Sheed should dominate him. Ruben Patterson historically gives Tayshaun trouble... however the no hand check rule should allow Tay to get him in foul trouble. Mo Williams can go either way... turnover prone or a pesky penetrator. We all know Redds abilities... Rip needs to make him work hard on defense. Should be interesting to see who Maxiel is matched up against Gadzuric, Skinner? Anyways it's gr8 to finally have a real game to discuss Probable starters Game Notes
Keep an eye on Gadzuric. This is a guy I wouldn't mind having on our squad if he could be had reasonable. He's athletic and scores where big guys should score. In the paint.
In my NBA Live 2007 simulation we win by 20 and Sheed is the player of the game with 24 pts 11 boards 4 assists and 2 blocks.
Whew that's good news... now I can skip this game...Ladies billiard trick shots are on ESPN that night.
Maybe I'll sim out the entire season and post the results. Should be interesting to see what happens.
i'm still up in the air about my jersey. you see, i always have a jersey for pistons games (not those $150 replica jerseys, but the $70 next-best-things, not the cheapos). however, i wanted a maxiell one this year. but that doesn't exist. :( in fact, you can't even buy a mohammed jersey. right now and for the foreseeable future, you can only get these for rip, chauncey, sheed, and prince. i'm gonna see if i can get one custom made, just have the blank jersey and put the maxiell 54 on the back, but we'll see. if not i'll have to choose someone to wear (because i ain't wearin #3 anymore).
there's a slight difference with the jerseys though. if you look at the picture of the $59-69 replicas on nba.com, they are ones the pistons sell for $43. then you compare the authentic jerseys, and nba.com sells them for $189 while the pistons sell them for $137. in between are 'swingman' jerseys, which look just like the authentic ones but are $69 on pistons.com, but unavailable at nba.com. so either i'd have to cough up $189 for a nice-looking maxiell jersey, or go with a cheaper-looking one for $60. hopefully that wasn't confusing :O
Im praying for a sex simulation game starring Janet Jackson, Alissa Milano, Christina Milan, Teri Hatcher and Lucy Lui. If Im their cable guy and I come over in the midst of a pajama party to fix their picture, what would be the final score?
Bogut is supposed to play. MILWAUKEE, United States (AFP) - Andrew Bogut, the top pick in the 2005 NBA draft, is expected to play when Milwaukee opens the new season at Detroit despite suffering a serious leg injury just three weeks ago. Bogut was cleared to resume full basketball activities Monday, at least three weeks ahead of the diagnosis he was given by team doctors on October 9 for a lower leg sprain.

I hope Bogut plays. As always for me, hopefully Bogut will have a good game but the Pistons still win.
