I'm very excited about this game. The Pistons almost have to play better than Sunday. Their shooting was pitiful. It should be a tough game, and we need to put the clamps on Gooden. I don't expect to be able to stop TMac, especially with Curry, but if we can eliminate a 2nd major threat, I like our chances. But of course I do, I'm a Pistons fan. My fearless prediction (the last I made was exactly right): Pistons 93 Magic 88 And it's DetrOIt.
hopfully pistons will come ready to play this time..and ben would of had some rest for his injury..ben also geta his DPOY award tonight so hopfully that will fire him up and have a great game
it depends...I could see the Pistons definetely firing up, after all they lost a very close game to the Magics...maybe, I'm on the fence right now (50/50 chance).
i can see pistons coming and taking it easily although they are going to struggle in offenese. i prefer tmac and pat burke no.31 balldy guy
Pistons up 17 after a quarter! This is the team I'm used to seeing. Suffocating D, draining threes. That's more like it.
Sucks for the Magics, but I know that it's all good for the Pistons, I'm not really into their game (especially since it's only on High Def TV).
Luckily, they're showing it on Fox Sports Detroit, or I'd have to keep track of it on NBA Scoreboard.
Mcgrady had 46 points on 16-26 shooting but Pistons take game 2 89-77 ..RIP hamilton got 30 points himself and shot well too on 10-16 shooting along with 7 rebounds and 5 assists.Big ben was back to his rebounding self with 16 boards..and was at least 85% heathly this time..which is why drew gooden struggled.Mcgrady scored 46 and the rest of his team-mates had just 31 now that is straight up terrible!! while pistons had 5 guys in double fiqures..magic had none. Now onto to Orlando...series tied at 1-1 mcgrady 46 rest of the team 31 OUCH
great adjustments by the Pistons tonight. I didn't get a chance to watch the game, but I heard they really stepped up their intensity in this game and were a lot more fluid on offense.
Pistons played very good last night and got the win. Yea if they didnt show it on fox sports net I wouldnt of been able to watch the game. Hopefully the Pistons play liek this through the rest of this series.
magic win tonight. take a 2-1 series lead. pistons are the better team but magic have the best player and sometimes thats what wins playoff seriess
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting "olskoolFunktitude":</div><div class="quote_post"> but magic have the best player and sometimes thats what wins playoff seriess</div> Very true...i have my doubts big time about this pistons team ..i just can't wait for the NBA draft and see who we get to pick from memphis pick we will get..and sign the FA with the good cap room we have..hopfully lamar odom or maggette.... As to me watching this team last night...our season will be over soon.
u think so allnet? i'm going to game 4 on sunday i think. hopefully it will be magic 3-1. 8) . tmac didn't have to do it all yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that's an amazing stat though tmac 46 rest of team 31 (in game 2)
I wouldn't be surprised to see pistons lose again..if we go out in round one it has been a terrible season.Getting the 1st seed is good and i enjoyed the games we won during the year but if you lose i round one..then it just seems like a wasted season.

Magic to me don't play like a 8th seed and should of been higher..infact all the lower seeds are good teams and can beat anyone in the east when they put their mind to it.Only bright spot in this series is...rip has played much better than stack did in last years post season..mcgrady is just too good..losing in the first round of the playoffs is a really bad feeling no matter where you end up in the standings. Next season we will be alot better and thats is for sure...we will hopfully get melo,odom and maybe juwan howard....
