The Pistons vs. The Knicks in London

by Natalie Sitto on January 16, 2013

The 14-24 #Pistons are in London England to play the 24-13 New York Knicks at the 02 Arena in London.

  • The good: Though many of fans think this regular season in England is a great idea, you have to be happy for the many, many NBA and Pistons fans across the ocean. It’s probably a dream come true for many fans that will be at the 02 Arena.
  • The bad: The Knicks are a very good team. Sheed may be out for the year for the Knick with a foot injury.

The known:

You know the Pistons are having a good time in England if you’re following Pistons.com and their twitter accounts, but I think Sheed is probably getting into some trouble.

Since the game is on London time it will be shown Live on NBA TV at 3PM EST.

really hope slava or jonas get to play. And I hope Andre plays well so everyone can fall in love with him and we can get more london fans.

I hope Carmelo does bad but knowing he will be guarded by Austin Daye most likely means carmelo will go for 50.

Is it weird I think the pistons can win this? I wish I could see this live but I can’t. :( I’ll watch it later though :)

it would be smarter for singler to start practiceing 3-pointers rather than doin goffy shots over double decked bus

So saw this one in person here in London!

The organisers did an excellent job. Bad half time entertainment, but otherwise great. A lot of things were in place to make it a real pistons game. Mason, the dancers, the flight crew, the lot. Honestly, Mason gave me more of a pistons buzz than the players today. We had bad boy Bill L in person with Starks, my all time favourite Knick Starks here ( cause of the finals dunk on da bulls).

Ok so the game- look , I went with the mrs who has watched about 4 games ever, and I wasn’t more impressed than her. Her view was that ‘that number 12′ was the only one trying. And her question was why the coach wasn’t benching those lazy guys.

Both teams seemed off and didn’t really try. This game was more of a shoot around with the most talented players winning the game. You need to want to win to be able to. CV’s defence worse than I thought. If you drain a three you can’t then let go of your guy in defence, especially not if he is a better shooter than you!

Glad to see slava get some floor time. Really don’t understand Frank’s rotation now or why he lets guys continue playing when they need to get off the floor. I’ll rant on that another day. JJ should have played today, period.

Really bad effort. Really disappointing. Go all the way to London then not bring the energy? Come on.

Will go to bed now, but share more later..

Should finish off saying all in all I had a great night! Upset about the result and the effort, but so glad to have been able to enjoy a piston game in my home town with my wife. Big thanks to the NBA, the Knicks but mostly the Pistons organisation.
