A road that game that the Pistons lost! A rare occurance but once
again most of the starters were played sparingly and Rip is still out
with the bum hip.

Chauncey played major minutes for a starter logging over 29 but
Stuckey got the rest off the bench in Chauncey's place logging over 27
minutes.

Pistons shot a better percentage (43%) than they did against the
Knicks but the 76ers shot 50%. They also out rebounded the Pistons
43-39.

I don't like 2 game losing streaks but I'm sure the 76ers are playing
harder than the Pistons at this time of the year as they don't want to
drop out of playoff contention. They currently have the 6th seed but
only by a game over Toronto in the 7th.

In terms of best records in the NBA, Pistons have the same record now
as the Hornets (55-23) and both have a two game lead over the Spurs
who were spanked hartily by the Suns last night (4/9).

On Friday (4/11) Pistons are home against the Wizards who beat the
Celtics (the Wizards have won 3 out 4 from the Celtics this season)
last night. The Hornets travle to L.A. to play the Lakers.

On Saturday (4/12) the Hornet travel to Sacramento to play the lowly
Kings.

Sunday (4/13) the Pistons are home against the Raptors, their possible
first round opponent.

Tuesday (4/15) the Pistons are home to play the lowly T'Wolves and
Hornets are home to play the Clippers.

Wednesday (4/16), the last day of the regular season, shows how
sadistic the schedule makers are as Detroit has to travel to Cleveland
who will be looking to avenge the beat down they got the last time
they were in Detroit and to build up some momentem into the playoffs.
The Hornets have to travel to Dallas. At that point Dallas could be
playing for their playoff life depending on what they do between now
and then and the Hornets may need the win to keep HCA in the West.

Basically, the Pistons have a slightly easier schedule the rest of the
way out, but they need to win these games they should win and hope the
Hornets stumble a time or two more.

I could see the Pistons having the tie breaker over New Orleans as I
believe we beat them twice this season but I think we split with the
Spurs so I don't know how that would work out.

Because Golden State lost to Denver last night (4/10), and the
Mavericks won, they have secured the 7th seed in the west. So that
puts a different light on the Hornets at Mavs game as both will most
likely be locking into their positions by then and may look to rest
all of their starters.

OK. I thought they lost the game in San Antonio. Hornets lost to the
Lakers last night (4/11) and Pistons spanked the Wizards with a 34-13
3rd quarter so that puts the Pistons 1 up on the Hornets for HCA in
the NBA Championship series should the two meet.

Rip was back last night and played 30 minutes and scored only 9. But
he's working the rust off. McDyess basically got the night off (only
19 minutes) and Maxiell picked up the slack with 28 points in 28
minutes, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks. Monster game for the
young man and overdue. Lindsey Hunter also got a little work logging
17 minutes.
