At NewJersey Nov 7 7:30PM tv: FS Detroit HD Alright, this one really will be AI's 1st game as a Piston.
I fear Denver will nix the trade after Billups tries to back onto the examination table and falls over instead.
Went to put in the "nopompom" smiley in my last post but when I put it in and looked at it real quick it looked like pornmom so I was afraid to leave it.
I'm surprised that this game hasn't been picked up for a national brodcast because of this matchup. This is the biggest thing since Russell vs. Chamberlain
http://www.nba.com/pistons/news/notes.pdf note: stuckey and Rip as starters... AI from the bench? Billups from the bench too...
Both AI and Chauncey will need time to get acclimated. If they do well they may be starting the next game, otherwise they may come off the bench for a bit.
naturally, i'm going up north for the weekend and missing AIs first game, and won't get to watch it until *after* i get home from the boston game sunday. so i'll have to rely on calling someone to find out how he did heh. oh well.
Iverson 3/3 fg 4/4 ft 1/1 3pt shots hasn't missed in 1st quarter and scored 11 points with 2 asists. pistons 27-14 nets
No Amir again after the 1st quarter, and he's not in FT, playing well defensively, and a perfect match-up against NJ's athletic bigs. WTF MC?! edited to add; our offense looks strangely more jump-shot oriented. And the Nets are a very bad defensive team. We also look comatose.
