It is one thing to lose to the Suns or the Celtics by a wide margin.
They are both elite teams. But to lose to the T'Wolves by 26 is just
plain wrong! Shooting at ne time something like 28% to Minnesota's
44% told the story. Detroit's was outscored in every quarter in this
game with the 4th being the only one that was close - a 2 point margin
in favor of the T'Wolves.

Pistons only redemption is they get the Knciks who are rebuilding, on
Wednesday, followed by Milwaukee on Friday and Portland on Sunday
before heading out west to face a struggling San Antonio team.

If they can't get 4 straight wins, they might as well step back and
retool the starting line up leaving Iverson out of it.

Fortunately, despite better offers from at least 5 other NBA teams,
McDyess will be coming back next month. Let's hope it is not too late
for the Dice Man who will be a free agent at the end of this season.

Shouldn't Iverson's nickname be the Wrong Answer?

Hey there! Portland (hopefully) will be tough. =)
And I think Spurs will get Ginobi back by then.

You're right about Portland but the Trial Blazers don't travel well.
Sill, a team that has Brandon Roy, Greg Oden and LaMarcus Aldridge
along with promising rookie Rudy Fernandez won't be easy. There's
some other folks on that team I like as well and I think if not this
year, then next they should be challenging for a top spot in the West.

Spurs may get Ginobli back but the few times I've watched them this
season they haven't looked like the well oiled machine they have in
the past. Maybe the Pistons can catch them in downward trend. But if
the Pistons play against the Spurs the way they did against the
T'Wolves, Coach Pop will have his 3rd stringers in there midway
through the 3rd.

True and they are 0-5 against the west elite away.
Although they have done pretty well compared to last year on the road
against the rest 4-1 (Orlando, Miami, Minny, Sac and were a very bad
call away from going to OT at the warriors.

They have had a brutal schedule.
By the previous years records their first 5 games were the toughest 5
game start in NBA history (@Lakers, SAS, @Suns, @Utah and Houston) and
they won the two home games against SAS and Houston.
They still have only played 5 home games but are tied with Utah at 9-6.

And it continues. After two home games this week they play 6 out of the
next 7 on the road.

Comes out to 40% of their road games are in the first 6 weeks of the
season.

Nate tried Oden in the start last night and that unit does not know how
to play with him yet. JoeL has been playing well and even scoring some
on P&Rs.

Well Parker is still out...giving Iverson a chance at making another new
all-star...

Well that is true of any team on any given night.
