Went to a Magic game at the new arena last year (Clippers game where Billups got injured) and was pretty impressed. Real nice arena they got there, and the immediate surrounding area has some nice bars.

I like to go to Orlando at least once a year, I will try to get to NBA games while I am down there. It was better when Howard was there of course.

As for tonight, we owe the Magic some pay back and Pistons are looking to win 3 out of 4 games. Would be nice to win 3 or 4 in a row to get to 5-9/6-9 and then go from there.

The Pistons need to redeem themselves for that previous loss.

The paper says the Pistons get 2 1/2. I think if we were betting today, I'd feel pretty comfortable taking the Pistons.

My guy is only giving +1. But he gets his lines straight off Bodog or whatever its called now.

I looked in the Oakland Press and that was probably some line from 18 hours ago.

Let's end the Jerebko nonsense. This confirms what my eyes have been telling me..... He has sucked. His behind the back dribble is "43 year old at Y" level.

**Deleterious** · 11-21-2012, 12:10 PM

I was excited when they signed him again and thought they got him for a good price. But yeah, he has been garbage ever since he was injured.

Yea, I don't remember being so frustrated with him until this year. Those slow motion set shot 3's, and then it seems like when he's not doing that he has the slowmo fake and the travel off the fake.

Monroe wrecking fools in the first quarter? Lets not go to him the whole 2nd quarter. Brilliant.

**ScrubBeaterUpper** · 11-21-2012, 08:36 PM

Nice 17-0 run to start the 2nd half by Orlando. No need to wait on sitting everyone one of those starters right now Frank. 10-0 was enough for me.

**ScrubBeaterUpper** · 11-21-2012, 08:44 PM

Looks they are going scoreless for an entire period

**Hart** · 11-21-2012, 08:51 PM

As bad as the Pistons are, I think our roster is slightly more talented than the Magic. And somehow, we are going to lose two games in a week to them.

**ScrubBeaterUpper** · 11-21-2012, 09:07 PM

Well that esculated quickly

**DTroppens** · 11-22-2012, 02:07 AM

I really wish I heard what happened earlier tonight before waiting for the replay. They were shooting under 10% for the second half with about three minutes left in the game. Is that even possible? What was that - almost 10 minutes to score a point in the second half, just over 10 minutes to score a field goal?

I was tempted to check the internet to see how it ended in advance, but there was some morbid curiosity in me that wanted to watch it "live" - well, live for me anyway.

What did the Pistons do, eat Thanksgiving dinner at the half?

**Deleterious** · 11-22-2012, 02:08 AM

Caught the replay as well. Yuck. Still better than that college game I watched tonight.

Spent time at my sister's house getting beat up by the kids and then winning a put as many jumbo marshmallows as you can in one hand before they fall out. Remarkably, I showed more athletic effort with those two ventures than the Pistons did in the third quarter.
