At PHX - SUN Nov 16th 2008

Quite a few empty seats behind Amare in the upper arena there--are we sure that isn't the Palace?

Don't look now, but after dropping their first two games back east with AI, the Pistons could end this West Coast trip 4-0.

who is suspended from the phoenix in this game?

Those aren't empty seats. They're just fans who decided to attend the game dressed as blue rectangles.

Phoenix without Nash and Barnes due to a 2 game suspension.
Good news for us, I predict a win, AI and Rip will have a big game.

i thought nash was only suspended for 1 game and will be playing?

Your correct, I misread the article.
Barnes is suspended for 2 games and Nash only 1.

I predicted in the "How will the Pistons do on the west coast trip" thread that Detroit would llose this game. I am still going with that prediction.

Suns in a close one, by 3..............

come on Dlev... we allow you to step down and change your prediction...

Pistons, in more than 3

Suns have less of an identity than the Pistons do. Detroit by 15.

2 ex Pistons Asst coaches facing each other. Should be fun. If Kwame can stop Shaq or both AI and Rip can get Shaq in foul trouble, we should be win this game. Sheed will stop Amare. Or maybe AJ will stop Amare?

lmaooo roscoe.
I voted for the Pistons to go 4-0, Detroit by 12.

Its so funny now how the vast majorit of posters in here have all of a sudden jumped on the bandwagon. Most thought we were doomed when we got ai and now most are elated at the acquisition. Which one is it? I guess it depends on whether we win or lose from on nite to another. I would expect that from Legler or Walton but not die-hard Piston fans, sheesh.

Not certain if Leandro Barbosa will be playing tonight's game. He flew back to Brazil over the weekend due to his mother's death. RIP, must be tough on him. He lost his father a couple years ago too.

question: what did i sound like after my first prostrate exam?

I know which way this game should go, but we'll see. AI can light up Nash, but Nash can light up AI. Stuckey will be the x-factor as well as KB.

AI > Nash

No question about this one. Flip Murray lit up Nash.

Nash will get lit up in the first, they'll put Raja Bell on AI, and Rip wll be defended by Nash. This game is all about stopping their front court.
