Pistons face the Hawks (again …)

by Matt Watson on Dec 14, 2007 6:38 PM EST

We're less than two months into the season and the Pistons and Hawks are already meeting up for the third time this season. The first time was the home opener in November. The second game was earlier this month in Atlanta, which is where Jarvis Hayes took flight in the highlight above. Tonight, they're back at the Palace.

Here's to hoping Detroit makes it 3-0 from the plucky high-flyers from Atlanta. As the Dana Garuder of the Oakland Press notes in his blog, the Pistons should be with Antonio McDyess (he participated in the morning's shootaround despite his ankle injury) while the Hawks will be without Al Horford, who's serving a suspension for his hit on T.J. Ford.

I'm still on the road and won't be attending this game (I'll be back to it on Sunday for the Warriors), but leave your thoughts on the game (8pm, FSN) in the comments.

Walter Herrmann was on the Argentina Olympic Gold Medal winning team in 2004. He’s a former player of the year in the Spanish league, was on the Argentina Gold Medal winning team in ‘04, and is a super high character guy (he’s had a tough life story – see link).

I had Primoz Brezec on a Fantasy team a few years ago (‘05?) when he was a Steady Eddie (13pts/7rebs. 50% FG, 70% FT) center in Charlotte. He’s a big veteran center who can give you a few minutes against other bigs but he’s been awful lately for Charlotte.

The money works great for Detroit as Brezec & Herrmann have expiring deals and Nazr had a lot of money coming down the road. Now Dumars can pay Maxiell and Herrmann might take off playing for a winning franchise like Oberto or Ginobli.

Joe Dumars got the better of Jordan again!

Someone get Flip a copy of the last minute of that game. It was nice to see Chauncey throw it right in to Amir at the end of the game and a nice move by Amir to put it up and get a score.
