    Curious if it is okay to expect a win against the Pistons?

    @Chris Craig we all appreciate you making the game threads. Great job i must add.
    One request. Is there anyway you could add the records of each team? Pistons are 9-29 type thing.

    No person should ever expect one team to beat another. Ever.

    My sauce is telling me Gary Payton will be available and will be suited up but there is still no guarantee he will play.

    The only sauce worth talking to. Alfredo. I mean we all been listening to Marinara for long enough. Takes two freakin weeks to make anything decent.

    Imagine being mad at a player for not being ready when you think they should.

    What else do you feel entitled to?

    We need to win these next two, obviously and then we need to show that we're better than teams like Minny and Indy in the next two, then stay consistent and beat Toronto and Orlando.

    What I'm saying is that if this team is a playoff team in contention for home court in the first round, we should go into Cleveland on a six game winning streak. At that point maybe we'll be clicking enough to beat the Mavs twice at home... taking an 8 game streak into Denver with the belief that we can beat them again.
