The 4-16 Pistons are on the road to take on the 13-6 Sixers in Philadelphia. The Atlantic Division leading 76ers have one of the best home records in the Eastern Conference at 9-2. The last time these two teams met the Sixers blew out Detroit 96-73.
The teams have split their last six overall match-ups. The Sixers have won two of the last three. All three of those games have been in Philadelphia.
- The good: Detroit with two solid “almost” games in a row have to win one soon…right? With every game they seem to be getting just a little bit better.
- The bad: Looks like they might be without Gordon, Bynum and CV31 again. No word yet if Tay made the trip or not.
- Who to watch: Jrue Holiday, Lou Williams and Thad Young.
- The unknown: Are we finally going to get to see a W from a team who’s been on the brink?
Tip off is at 7:00 pm and will be broadcast on Fox Sports. If you can’t catch the game on TV, catch it on the radio over at 97.1 the Ticket.

Well this is going well. Will we even reach 70? At least Knight has figured out how to mitigate the turnovers.
Our next half dozen games against easier opponents and I see some W instead of L in our future.
I sure hope so, my dads a suns fan and he never lets up about how the pistons suck soo bad. Just cuase the suns have a better record. Ive been telling him they are getting better n stuff, so he comes over last night n watches the game with me. Thanks pistons for the competitive game last night. Now ill never hear the end of it till our record is bettter than theirs. We have a $50 bet.
Aha good luck! Hope you win the $$
We r 3 games back n we played 2 more games.
No team tank seasons better than the Pistons, so you need not only plenty of luck, but half of the Suns to get major injuries and stuff.
Maybe some suspensions or voodoo rituals to lower their shooting percentage drasticly
aint gonna work cuz my man gortat is a beast
