At Cleveland Cavs Feb. 22nd, 8:00 PM TV - FS Detroit HD, NBALP Radio WDFN 1130 This game begins a tough 5 game road trip for the Pistons. Will either (or both) of these teams have any new acqusitions for this contest? The first two weeks after the All Star break could tell us if the Pistons will make a run for the 4th seed or 7th seed.
Since the Cavs are in a good position to make a run at the title now, why wouldn't they trade Szczerbiak's contract to get one more piece? $13M. They could even trade him for someone who is making $13M, but is underperforming.
And they should try to get him. $13.0 expiring for $15.2 (+16.3 + 17.3 for next 2 years). Cleveland would need to add another small piece, but shouldn't be a problem. Would NJ want to help Cleveland that much? Getting out of Vince Carter's contract doesn't seem like it should be a very high priority. New Jersey is pretty flexible even with him, and he's been playing well. That is the reason the deal wouldn't go down.
Now that Tandoori's decided to change things up yet again Amir will probably be lucky to see 5 seconds. I'm betting on another DNP-CD.
This games got people buzzin', woo! Anyway I'm showing this as an ESPN game for any folks with a BS cable system like me where the LP ain't in HD. Cox Cable is the Detroit Pistons of the cable world.
Can you imagine if we actually win this? Then win all the games on this trip? Get right back into contention.
I admire your optimism Roscoe! Pistons have won 4 of the last 5 games in Cleveland, so maybe they do have a chance of winning tonight.
I look at it like this. We have nothing to lose If we're ever going to give it our all this season, it will be over the next few games A low scoring game plays into Curry's strategy of scoring as few points as possible If we play small ball, Rip will not duck under LBJ. He'll take off his mask and beat the King with it.
