Oh look, the second game in a row we can watch a PG drafted after Austin Daye.

Pistons' Corey Maggette thinks he'll debut tonight at 76ers | Detroit Pistons | Detroit Free Press | freep.com

[T&P_Fan]

Don't expect this to the first win, out best shot is against Orlando on Friday night. 0-9 here we come.

[DTroppens]

I was about to say I think Maggette is playing tonight, but D has a link and has beat me to the punch.

According to the paper, the Pistons are nine-point dogs tonight. Man, I think if I was a betting man, I might put some action on the Pistons.

[Deleterious]

It wont shock anyone that at least statistically, the reserves are the Pistons best lineup. The starters are just getting crushed.

Those are the only four lineups with double digit minutes. Monroe-Drummond have played together once for 4.2 minutes and they were +7 in that time. You can view all the lineup combos here:

Waiting on the prop bets to be posted, but I plan on it.

[Deleterious]

Stuckey out with the Flu, Singler gets the start tonight.

It was tweeted by the Pistons, so its legit.

[Deleterious]

They also said Maggette is active tonight.

[DTroppens]

So do we throw a prop bet out when we all think Maggette will miss another game due to some sort of injury?

The question is, do you bet it by games or quarters.

My quick takes are (being fully aware of small sample size):

a. line-ups with Knight average 0.9 pts/possession, whereas line-ups with Bynum average 1.1 pts/possession. That is disconcerting.

2. The only difference in the 2nd line-up and 3rd line-up is English for Stuckey, yet the performance is completely different (largely due to defense). I don't doubt match-ups played a role, but damn.

[DTroppens]

The question is, do you bet it by games or quarters.

I guess we'd have to use time of the game you select as an ultimate tiebreaker. The person getting closest, including those who go over.

Oh, I was just making a joke that he might be hurt before tonights game is over. That is why I wanted to use quarters. Comedy isn't my specialty.

[DaBishop]

Those numbers really show how much Stuckey has killed this team

[Deleterious]

Back into the swing of things. My starting balance is 10,695.67.

I'm taking Det +8.5 (-115) for 250.
Monroe over 17 pts (-120) for 250.
Monroe over 9 rebounds (-120) for 250.

Luck for us Singler is starting tonight and Stuckey is out (flu).

[DTroppens]

I knew it was a joke, but it certainly was a legit issue.

[Deleterious]

FWIW, the line hasn't moved at all since they announced Stuckey wont play.

That doesn't tell us anything concrete. But if a team lost someone of importance, you would expect it to move a bit.

When I saw the line where it was, and then your post about Stuckey being out, it didn't change my opinion about that being a better or weaker bet. I don't know what Singler is going to do, but he's been one of the people worth watching this year, while watching Stuckey has been painful for the most part, minus a quarter or two here and there.

Over

[DaBishop]

And yes...I know you're only doing this on weekends which is why I put my choices in...Now that they don't count I'll go 3 for 3

[Deleterious]

Kwame Brown starting for the 76ers tonight.

LFrank says Prince, Singler in line for extended minutes tonight with no Stuckey. Maggette will be used but in short bursts in 1st game back

Prince with extended minutes. Yuck.

[Deleterious]

Small crowd. Stubhub had tickets for 10 cents.

[DTroppens]

Kwame Brown will never die.

[Deleterious]

Singler runs into Brown and is shaken up.

[Deleterious]

Eh, Singler is back after the TO.

[DTroppens]

Eh, Singler is back after the TO.

Good to see him make that hoop right after the collision.

[Deleterious]

Philadelphia broadcasters said Ben Wallace has not filed his retirement paper work yet. Let me be the first to start the rumor he will sign with LA/Miami/NY/OKC at the trade deadline.

[DTroppens]

Monroe having issues holding on the ball.

[DTroppens]

Singler sinks a trey!

[DTroppens]

With Kwame Brown out there, it's like you have five people to dish it off to. If you can't find a teammate, throw it to Kwame. It'll bounce off his hands into a Pistons' players hands.

[DTroppens]

Singler looks like he was right out of the TV show "The Waltons"

[Deleterious]

I have to admit. Was not a big fan of Singler. But he is quickly changing my mind.

That's actually a good rumor to start.

I didn't know much about him minus what I read here and around the internet. So far, I've enjoyed watching him play. I couldn't say one way or the other if I liked his selection at the time of the draft because I really knew nothing about him.

[DTroppens]

A Maggette citing!

Yeah, I didnt really like/dislike the pick. I just never expect much from any 2nd rounders.

[DTroppens]

Offensive foul by Maggette. I wonder if that would put his win shares in the negatives.
