Detroit can be a surprise team in the east

[bksballer89]

This team isn't bad. They already beat Miami, lost a tough one to Portland, and are up 5 on the second night of B2B in Indy. This may be the team to sneak in and take the 3rd seed out East.

I'm not surprised.

Anyone watching the end of this game? It's a good one.

 

[bksballer89]

Yes I am. Pretty good game.

Detroit have a pretty good starting lineup when you look at it. It's all about performing. They can take Indy 6 in a serious because Drummon and Monroe can matchup perfectly with West and Hibbert

I'm watchin'.

Huge block

 

[bksballer89]

Brandon Jennings shot selection is awful. He does make those sometimes but that's a terrible shot

 

[HammerDown]

Game over. Detroit deserved that one.

 

[Lone Granger]

awesome block.

Back-to-backs are the devil. The season should start 10 days earlier, thus eliminating back-to-backs and would allow an extra night of rest for the All-Star break.

And Pacers fans were laughing a few weeks ago when Detroit did the same thing to Miami....Who's laughing now?

Back to Backs are fine. It's a part of your job. You know going into the season that you would have 15-18 B2B. Back to Backs separates the men from the children

Link to where I laughed?

And this loss should make a better game against Miami, hopefully, because I figured Miami had the upper hand.

I think Indy has the most back2backs.

If they do that's life

Miami with in 2 of the 1 seed with a great chance to make it 1 on wednesday and Detroit looks like a 3 - 5 seed is what we need to take away from tonight.

 

[bksballer89]

Caring about a #1 seed so early in the season is ridiculous. You just don't want to get too far behind. As long as Miami is within 4 games of Indiana for the first 3 months of the yr, they should be fine.

 

[Hambombs]

B jennings probably will hold them back cause he barely shoots 40% and his defense is pretty bad

 

[Hambombs]

Great win by the pistons though

 

[bksballer89]

And this is why I call Hibbert overrated. When he face someone that can bang with him he is nothing more than a role player.

Here are his stats from the 2 games with Detroit this year who actually have a big frontcourt.

Game 1 vs DET- 8 points and 10 rebounds

Game 2 vs DET- 6 points and 4 rebounds
