As we start a new week -

[Gray Mule]

Our next opponent, Detroit, has an 8-2 record over their last 10 games.

One of those 2 losses was the Hawks.  And, it was close.

 

The Pistons are only 1 game behind Brooklyn for 8th place and the playoffs.

Yes, they are going to be there.  They are almost as hot as the Hawks.

 

Should be a real barn burner in Atlanta.

 

GO HAWKS!!

Yeah Detroit will be tough again. It seems the teams that give us the most trouble are the young ones who can run all day and scramble on D.

Lucky for us, the only teams that fit that bill aren't contenders in Orlando and Detroit who are right behind Chicago in the middle of the pack in points allowed, and Milwaukee in the Top 5, a spot usually reserved for the Bulls.

I agree, teams like the Magic, Bucks, and Pistons give me far more concern. They have young legs, athletic, and aren't as set in their ways as the more established teams are. They go in with the 'nothing to lose' attitude, which makes them a scary bunch to face.

The key is stomping out whatever hope they have of winning early. Do not give them the thought that they have a shot at winning. If not, well...

Too bad they traded Smoove... We wouldn't have this discussion.
