    I think the Lakers will win.

    Shaq will play great becuase he played bad last night and he will try to play great tonight.
    Like Big D said "there is no one who can stop him."
    Ben is too short,Cliff is to thin and Okur is too young.
    Kobe will also have great game.

    I think the Lakers will win.

    Looking foward to this game.
    It will be great game,I hope my team will win but Pistons are very good team and they can beat anyone.

    Pistons, at home, against a possibly tired Lakers team should make for a good game. I'll watch as much as I can, but when Shaq starts getting ridiculous foul called on his defenders, I'm going to have to turn off the TV. If Pistons can contain Shaq, they have a shot. They need to come out hot though. Most teams we can come back on, but the Lakers are too good.

    I'm going to have some faith in my team, and say the Pistons will kill LA with the 3-ball. My fearless prediction: Detroit 89, LA 84.

    Big game for D tonight...need the win to keep up the top spot in the east.We just need to contain the laker role players and not let them play well.Our role players will dominate them (or should do) we can't stop shaq of course but we can try and give him problems (bulls did) as for kobe..he will have a good game as normal.Chauncey needs to shoot well like he did the other night..as when he struggles the whole team struggles.Rip has to hit the open shot when it is given to him if that all works i think i will see a pistons win.We came close last game in L.A so i hope.. back home we can do the job.I will be courtside so i hopfully will get some pictures.... 8) and maybe talk to the players after the game if i'm lucky.

    If Chauncy, Robinson or Barry gets hot, Lakers should throw it in the bag. If Shaq is uncontained and/or Kobe gets hot, its over for the Pistons.

    Lakers 83
    Pistons 87

    Will come down to foul shots down the stretch [​IMG]

    With the Bulls beating the Lakers yesterday the Pistons know they have a chance of beating the Lakers. It will be a close one. Unlike Allnet I will be watching the game at my house. Hopefully the Pistons will win this one then they will have a ton of confidence.

    uh its not like the Lakers played all that poorly last night...Shaq was the only one who struggled...

    the Bulls shot 55% from the field and 80% from 3pt range...

    sorry but the Pistons are not potent enough as an offensive team to do that...the key for the Pistons winning this game lies in their ability to shut down Kobe and Shaq...they can't do either...which is why they're gonna lose...and probably by 10 or more

    Pistons are going down tonight. Shaq and Kobe are going to go off tonight and make a statement.

    i would not want to be the pistons facing the Lakers after an 'embarassing' loss to Chicago the night before...Shaq and Kobe are just gonna tear them up...im going to extend my predicted margin of victory to 15+...detroit won't win this game...

    Let's stick to quarterly updates at most. You'll be at 1000 posts by the end of the game if you keep this up.

    I'm on tape delay, it's only the pre-game show. I'll be sure to close my eyes when that happens.

    Kobe has 17 with less than 3 mins to go in the second, and he's 2-2 behind the arc.
