Playoff scenarios (Miami has been eliminated)

Piston win and they are in.
Hornets loss and Pistons are in.

Pistons win a tiebreaker over Miami (2-2) but better conference (26-25) to the heats (22-28)
Pistons lose a tiebreaker over the Hornets (0-4).

Three way . I think Hornets win 6-2. verses the heat and pistons, heat are 4-4 , and pistons are 2-6.

Yes, it's a win and we're in scenario. It helps the team is playing the Knicks, but still gotta come to play. I would not be surprised if the Hornets beat the Magic at home tomorrow, so I think a win is going to be necessary (Hornets win any tie).

 

[biggunsbob]

Henry Ellenson is coming off the bench for the Knicks. Knicks have won back to back games and have already clinched the worst record. He has scored 10 and 5 points last two games. He will probably drop 25 on us with our luck.

 

[biggunsbob]

No Blake tonight.

 

[biggunsbob]

I just don’t get why Reggie loves the three ball? Maybe he should be concreting on his passing. I guess he should keep shooting them if he hits 1 of every 2 attempts lol.

 

[biggunsbob]

Slow on the defense so far but offense has been above average up 14-6 early. Reggie is hitting and offense is way better then first three min. Up 28-13 with four minutes left in first. Defense is getting better on everything but that lob to Robinson.

 

[biggunsbob]

Robinson just made two really good defensive plays. He blocked a sure layup and then Galloway made a great fake on the dribble and drive for a layup and then he knocks a ball off Knick guard for a turnover. He just can’t seem to hit his wide open out side shots yet.

 

[biggunsbob]

Pistons up 36-22 after one quarter. Can they keep it up that is the question?

 

[biggunsbob]

Maker is a liability tonight so far on offense . Kennard has hit two threes in a row. Pistons up 44-28 at the 8:26 mark of the second quarter. Kennard hits three ft , and a duce 49-28 now.

 

[biggunsbob]

Puchuila what are you doing . Great pass by Luke. He misses easy bunny. Luke has 17 all in the second half off the bench. Pistons rolling up 59-32 with 3:27 left in 2nd.

 

[biggunsbob]

Magic are up 11 over the Hornets 5:23 in the second. Hornets cut the lead at half
To four points 62-58.

 

[biggunsbob]

Great first half by the Pistons lead 65-41. Biggest lead was 27 points. Luke had 19 points in the second quarter. Reggie and AD both with 16 points each. 6-17 from three is lower then we would like but only by a smidge.

Looks like the boys are on their way to the postseason. I know we probably shouldn't count the win before it ends, but it's also the Knicks.

New Jersey is up big on Miami as well. If the Hornets can rally to take down the Magic, we can actually jump up to the 7th seed (we have the tiebreaker over the Magic). We don't want any part of Milwaukee, but we actually swept Toronto this year.

Ellington was a great pick up at the trade deadline.

I know right. It’s werid what teams own other teams. Hornets crushed us all four games and we beat the Raptors albeit all close games 3-0. Your spot on. Bucks may win the whole thing this year .

Drummond is three rebounds away from 20/20 night.

For a Billionaire owner Tom Gores sure wears grubby tee-shirts.

Perfect storm of a team fighting for a playoff spot and a team that couldn't give less of a shit.
