Pistons v. 2010 Lebron’s! Amir’s back! (Maybe)

The Pistons are taking on the New York 2010 Free Agent Class Knicks tonight at the Palace of Auburn Hills. A nice Pre Turkey day game that should be much better than the Detroit Lions game this week…
Anyway, I hope all the Piston players get out there and play some tough defense to burn off some extra calories for tomorrow’s Thanksgiving feast.
Coming into today, the Pistons are 8-5 and the Knicks are 7-7. These are not Marbury’s Knicks anymore, they can actually score and most nights put up and very good fight regardless of their opponent. If the Pistons don’t play defense this might be a run&gun shootout well above the 110 point mark for both teams.
Good News for all Amir Johnson fans from the True Blue Pistons blog: AMIR MIGHT START! YAH! About freaking time. Seriously though, Amir can only start against teams without a true center. I.E. The Knicks with David Lee at center and Wilson “Benton Harbor, Mi” Chandler at power forward. Putting Amir up against Shaq, Big Z or even guys like big baby Andrew Bynum is just asking for trouble. I dont think he should start against true centers but he should still be used of the bench alot more than he is being used recently.
Every game it shouldn’t be that hard to find 15 solid minutes for Amir.
WHAT’S YOUR PREDICTION FOR THE FINAL SCORE?
Peace,

I seriously don’t think we’re gonna win cause the knicks are gonna come out ready to play and we won’t, that’s always how it goes when we play bad teams. (New Jersey, Minnesota and it’s happened a ton in the past.)

Haha you might be right Rich. I hope you are wrong though. Im going to really go off if they lose this one.

Great game tonight!!!
Final score: Pistons 110, Knicks 96.
Amir had a great game as well — career high in rebounds!
(32 minutes, 5-8 FG, 2-2 FT, 5 OR, 8 DR [13], 1 Assist, 3 Blocks, 12 Points)
Our predictions were pretty close — TadOne’s prediction that the Pistons would score 110 points was dead on!

TAD was the closest. Congrats to him.
See Amir! This is why he needs to play every game!

Maybe this is for the best. He needs to come off the bench and be a fire plug anyway! What do I know I’m just a podcaster…
