If he has a horrendous night, the Pistons should be able to cruise to a victory. Injury Lists Detroit Pistons Mehmet Okur Utah Jazz Curtis Borchardt Matt Harpring PyroManiac's Prediction Sorry guys, don't have time for a full preview, again. I've been very busy recently. The Pistons have finally started playing better and have put together a winning streak (4 games). The Jazz beat the Kings in their last game so are they are obviously able to compete. Detroit played yesterday and had a comeback game against the Clippers and they should have some momentum going into the game today. AK47 is the main threat and he will need to be stopped. The Jazz are 20-10 at home this season, so it will be a challenging and intresting game. Detroit should still be able to pull through with a victory, starting a nice west coast winning streak. Pistons by 5.
Both teams are playing great lately.If AK47 has a bad game the Jazz will definetly lose. This might be a close game if he plays well.I predict that the Pistons win by 9.
I think the Pistons will get rolling starting with this game. Things are starting to come together, hopefully the team is getting into a rhythm to carry into the post season. Pistons by 9.
Pistons must be feeling great after the comback victory at LA yesterday without Larry Brown. I think they'll carry that momentum into this game, open up a huge lead early on and never look at. Detroit cruises to victory 94-85.
"AK47" That might rank right up there with the all-time nicknames. Then again, I've always been fond of "Crazy Legs" Hirsch, so it could just be me.
Pistons go down 94-86 even though Rasheed Wallace had his best offensive game for the Pistons with 27 points They basically led most of the game but threw it away in the 4th, It was one of those famous Piston meltdowns.
That's 2 teams near the top of their respective conferences for Utah, who now have equalled their winning streak high, of 4. Gordan Giricek had his first game that was above average for Utah, and it was a really good one. He and Sasha were basically scoring at will, but not doing much else. Utah needs scorers, and if they can keep it up, they should be a team worth beating. The Pistons should've one this one, they just threw it away and Utah made them pay in the 4th quarter, when it matters most.
