Pistons at Bobcats: the most exciting game in the history of basketball

Detroit Pistons at Charlotte Bobcats, Jan 13, 2012 7:00 PM EST


Two of the league's worst teams face off in a sure-thing thriller tonight. There will be stars role players, there will be excitement 41.9% shooting, and at the end of the night, one team will be victorious slightly edge out the other. Hey at least for those of us who will watch tonight's game-- there will be Greg Monroe.

Game Tips at 7:00 P.M. EST

Detroit Pistons: 2 - 9 (0 - 5 road)

Charlotte Bobcats: 2 - 9 (1 - 4 home)

The Situation:

It's got to sting when your most productive player is BJ Mullens. That's precisely what's going on in Charlotte, as their roster is rounded out by basketball visionaries like DJ Augustin and Walter Sharpe DJ White. There are other players of note, like Gerald Henderson, Corey Maggette, Boris Diaw and Kemba Walker, but these four have been as harmful as helpful in the best of times. The picture is pretty dire in Charlotte, despite what appeared to be a strong effort by GM Rich Cho.

The Pistons and the Bobcats are matched in efficiency from the field, with both teams shooting 41.9%. On the other end, Charlotte's defense is slightly superior, but due to Detroit's slower pace they allow less points per game. Charlotte is at the king of that poop heap, allowing a league-leading 102.7 points per game. The Pistons should salivate when looking at the Bobcats, because tonight would be the perfect night to establish some confidence on offense.

While the Pistons do suck this season, it's possible that the Bobcats suck worse (even with the addition of Blocks and Dunks). And if you're a Bobcat fan reading this preview, don't feel bad. I'm being more negative than usual because we rarely ever get to trash talk anymore. With that-- suck it, Charlotte.

Keys to the Game:

Feed Moose.

Question of the Game:

Which 41.9% shooting Eastern Conference team will be the first to ten losses? The riveting story begins shortly.

I've been researching the effects of our new nano-emulsion on TLR4 signalling

Specifically the CD80 and CD86 surface markers in epithelial cells (all of this is in vitro). We already know that the vaccine works in vivo, but we’re trying individual components in vitro to try to define a mechanism.

Long story short, the first trial I did resulted with the flow data saying that toxicity didn’t matter and that it was solely based on the charge+size of the adjuvant. This time there is a definite correlation between toxicity and surface marker expression, which would make some sense when you think about how cytokene release works.

Do you think that either trial could have been a fluke? I legally can’t get into specifics over what I’ve been testing, but the data just seems contradictory

This team should be really happy with Knight.

Yeah, lots of problems this year, especially with the turnovers. But he’s shooting 45% and averaging 12 a game. He’s averaging 3-4 rebounds per game. He’s clearly got an outside shot. He’s confident and all reports say that he’s very, very smart and an off the charts worker.

It just seems that he’s starting with a high ceiling and has the type of personality in which he would tend to understand what he’s capable of and the drive to work toward that. I’m a fan.

If it’s 2 × 20/10, we are two rebounds and one point away from it happening again.

Hmmmm...

We dominated the game instead of squeaking out a win or losing like all the pessimists thought. Glad to see Biyombo putting up the 30 rebounds and 10 blocks per game that everyone said he would from day 1…but the year’s still young. I hope Biyombo improves, but i’m still glad we got Knight

by CheerstoLilWayne on Jan 15, 2012 11:47 AM EST reply actions  

Please find a quote that was not made in complete jest that states that we expected Biyombo to put up 30 rebound and 10 blocks per game.

I’d love to see it. Really. And meanwhile, you’re implying above that Knight is going to be a great point guard. As far as I can tell, Knight hasn’t even shown he can play the point considering his Assist/Turnover ratio thus far.

Everyone on this site who wanted Biyombo knew he’d be a project. But he’d be a project with athletic abilities that almost never come around. With the right coaching, we all believe Biyombo can be a dominant defensive force in the NBA. Did any of us actually say that it would happen immediately? Well, that’s for you to prove. So lets see those quotes buddy boy.

So...

because i said I’m glad to have Knight, that means i think he’s going to be great? I’m glad to have JJ too, but that doesn’t mean i think he’s going to be GREAT. So for your whole rant about me putting words in people’s mouths…you turn around an do it??? way to be a hypocrite. Why has his assist to turnover ratio been low? because rookies make mistakes. He’s passing very well, but if you had actually been watching the games, you would have noticed that NOBODY’S KNOCKING DOWN SHOTS!!!! No bucket…no assist. Try thinking a little bit. So i’ll just say this…Please find a quote where i said that Knight was going to be great…show me how being glad to have someone automatically means you think they’re going to be great…show me that buddy boy.
