    <font color="Red">Pistons:</font> Carlos Delfino, Horace Jenkins

    Key Matchup

    Andrei Kirilenko vs. Rasheed Wallace

    Rasheed Wallace has been playing well as of late, putting up double doubles on a consistent basis. He is a big part of the Pistons, and he will be going up against a top defender in Andrei Kirilenko. Kirilenko will put pressure on his shots, but with the height and range shooting R. Wallace has he may have an edge over Kirilenko.

    Prediction

    Pistons by 11.

    Note: This is Carlos Arroyo's first game against his former team in the Jazz.

    With the Jazz's luck...Arroyo will go off for 30 points and 10 assists on us!

    So how is it not a foul when Okur drives in and gets smothered between 3 Pistons...... but when Kirilenko puts his hand on the ball and tries to steal it, it's a foul...

    How did they miss that? The refs are human after all, and they will make a few mistakes, but how did they let that one go by?
