Kevin, actually, the best coffee shop in town is probably the Mirage’s, has been for years, but Hard Rock has good food and a bunch of plasmas, Palms has ok food, but has a bunch of screens at the counter(but for me, the price is right). If the Wings were playing tonight instead of earlier today (Dominator got his 78th career shutout, 3-0), you could watch the Pistons on one TV and the Wings on another.

YES!!!! That channelsurfing website doesn’t work for me but it had a link to download something called the TVU player, so I tried it out and it appears to be working great! Has a lot of channels I’ve never heard of, but all seem to work. Here’s to hoping one of those channels will be showing the game tonight. Lastly, here’s to hoping my efforts to find a way to watch this game will be rewarded with a double-digit Detroit victory. Hey, if your head’s in the clouds, why not leave it there?

“Anyone in LV today, I should be watching the game from the coffee shop and/or sportsbook at the Palms.”

When I originally read this, I registered this as “if anyone is in Las Vegas, I’ll be at the coffee shop,” and snickered at the idea that Las Vegas may indeed only have on coffee shop.

BTW…I hate the professional sports media. I’ve already noticed many previews trying to sell this game as a “king of the hill” type of matchup. Now I’m not saying this to try to cover my tracks or because I’m predicting a loss tonight, but if Detroit did happen to drop this game, as long as it’s not a blowout, wouldn’t that makes these teams EVEN in the Boston vs Detroit spectrum? Just a thought. I honestly feel the Pistons will make it 12 straight tonight.

I’ve tried that channelsuring.net and had mixed results, I’m really hoping it comes through tonight. I’m not 21 so I can’t go to a bar to watch, though I’m sure most bars would be showing the NFL games going on tonight. It’s hard being a Pistons fan that lives in California. It seems like there’s no one that appreciates the Detroit brand of basketball. Phoenix and Golden State, all you hear about over here.

in my experience with channelsurfing.net unless it says live, the game is not shown live but at a later date.

Also, for me, only IE worked, not firefox

GO PISTONS

Also, I’m not sure any bars will be showing the game. Many of the less intelligent football fans here will want to watch Steelers-Jags to see who the Vikings will be playing next week.

I’m half-joking. There are a lot of people here who think Minnesota made the playoffs.

The NBA, where never televising any of the !@#$%^& games happens.

Not a Pistons fan. But came here to see what’s being said about the Celtics-Pistons game. I’ve despised the Celtics for 25 years - longtime Lakers fan - and the hatred has finally resurfaced this year, so really cheering for the Pistons tonight. Had to write about Heinsohn. It’s my first year with League Pass and I’ve been tempted many many times to throw a shoe through the TV. Last night was a classic against the Grizz. Rudy Gay gets a tooth knocked out and there’s no foul call. Heinsohn of course says nothing. A minute later, Rondo commits an obvious charge and is called for it. Heinsohn goes nuts, can’t believe what “these guys” are calling. AAAARGH. And to think he was the national color guy during the 80s. The worst part is that the play-by-play Gorman is really good, but he’s stuck with Heinsohn.

Anyway, go pistons.

Here, here, JDutch. Get you to the bar.

OT: I live and work in DC, and one thing that really irks my co-workers is when I toss up a paper ball into a trash can while saying “Jarvis!” They say, “But that’s wrong - the ball went in!” And I say, “Exactly!”

Forget heinsohn, throw David Stern in a closet with whatever ungodly beast you can think of for not making sure the third best regular season matchup of the shot clock era is nationally televised! Not being able to watch this game is like going on a date with the world’s hottest invisible woman. All in all however, I really would like to see Detroit win this and keep the mental scales tipped in their favor against their conference rivals, but a loss isn’t the end of the world. Besides, with the way the Mavs and Spurs have been playing, I see that Texas double-header as a very winnable pair of games.
