Much improved as the Pistons are this year, I expect them to get blown out. Curry should eat Reggie alive, and GS has the bigs to push and foul Drummond. I think Detroit keeps things close through the first half, but wears down in the third quarter before the bench let's things get blown open.

Pistons played them tough earlier this year at Thier place.hope we can hang with them.

Look good so far. Have to keep GS from looking like the Globetrotters on offense.

This is really impressive, and I'm always happy to be wrong when it means the team is winning. Defense is playing a tremendous game, and KCP is on fire. If we can keep up either of those things in the second half, the Pistons should win.

Not to take away from the game, as well as we're playing, but this halftime tribute to Ben is phenomenal. Totally deserving

Pistons win

Nice bounce back win by the boys after the Memphis loss. Wish I could have seen it.

Except for the Warriors 22-9 run to end the first, the Pistons dominated the entire game. If only we could do this more consistently, but this young team is learning and progressing well

GREAT night last night!!!!! The Big Ben jersey retirement was very well done, and the boys played an excellent game against the NBA's best. Couldn't have asked for anything better.

Proud to be a Pistons fan!

Golden State absolutely hammered LeBron and the Cavs yesterday. Glad we weren't on the receiving end of that beatdown.

Wallace and Billiups numbers are retired? The bar is pretty low for retiring numbers!

TD stop being a curmudgeon LOL..
Maybe it was low but it was a great title run in 2004 and sadly with a little more luck this team could have had 2 or 3 during that strech..

Maybe it is the cold weather...lol

I just never thought of Billiups or Wallace as great players...certainly not the type of "franchise" player that should be considered for jersey retirement.

Ben Wallace had some phenomenal stats and awards. Take a look at the bottom of his Wikipedia page at Honors and Records, I'd bet he accomplished many things that most of us never realized, and did so while playing center at only 6'7" tall!

When you see his name listed with guys like Kareem, Hakeem, Dikembe, David Robinson, Dwight Howard, and Bob McAdoo as the only ones to do certain things defensively in NBA history, you start to realize how special the guy really was.
