Pistons -1.5

Spoon · 12-13-08, 10:37 AM

Screw that... are you kidding me? All that team does is make me sweat for 2.5 hours and then start throwing things around the house or sportsbar or where ever I am. I'm done with the Pistons this season or until they get their act together. They are complete trash.

jamesrg · 12-13-08, 10:39 AM

Those were my initial thoughts as well..

BUT could they be due to finally put a full 48 minutes togeher ?

Spoon · 12-13-08, 10:42 AM

James, honestly, I have zero faith in this team. They are seriously confused at the moment and can't put it together. They blew 3 games for me personally (2 lost and last night's pushed). Perhaps someone else could offer a different opinion, but that is how I feel. There are so many other games to play and the Pistons are not worth my time anymore. I won't place a bet on them right now even if they played a HS JV team.

jamesrg · 12-13-08, 10:47 AM

That's fine man

If Dwight dosen't play i think the Jazz are the pick of the night anyway

yo, Whyyyyyyyy!!!!!. Why do people do this? A team loses game after game and can't beat point spreads yet people wager on them game after game. When they don't win people come in here the next day cursing that team. You people just crack me up. Go ahead... Put 3 units on the Pistons, no make it 10. They should be due now, right!!! Wrong!!!!

natelli1 · 12-13-08, 11:32 AM

notice how everyone is mentioning "a full 48 minutes" or "blowing games" but has anyone noticed that they come out of the gates strong .. i think im going to take them -1 first half and run with it.

Look at toronto for example (the last 2 games)

They were coming off a tough schedule and were playing poorly...And they were undervalued because of it.And i knew they would crush the Pacers and Nets because they were due to start finding themselves (especially against inferior teams)

That's why the Pistons are at least worth looking into...I'm not saying they're the greatest play in betting history but i think there might be an angle there.

yea, ok. Finally looking at the stats and how the pistons play I pulled the string on this one and picked the Pistons. This is the only time this year I've picked the Pistons and see an advantage here. point spread is just as low as I like it. Go Pistons!!! i hope..

Due for what? There are better games out there. Don't WASTE your money on the Pistons.

DiggityDaggityDo · 12-13-08, 01:30 PM

Ivan77 · 12-13-08, 01:50 PM

Detroit only -1 is the game of the nite, what a bargain!!!!!!!!!!

ryanXL977 · 12-13-08, 01:53 PM

detroits last few weeks

why will they win today

OuchaDirkFan41 · 12-13-08, 02:18 PM

Detroit has already been beaten by worse teams on the road than Charlotte, look at ryans post.. You can't just throw in AI and go "YEA WERE BETTER" You gotta get chemistry as a team before you can compete.

The_Kid · 12-13-08, 03:25 PM

Detroit has burned me the last three times they have blown leads and they've done it at home. I don't see how they can be favored on the road, even if it is against the Bobcats. I am staying away. I can't stand to take the Pistons again unless they start to show me that they can actually play decent.

tevari · 12-13-08, 04:16 PM

call me a sucker, but i'm all over detroit -1 tonight. charlotte will be offensively challenged without j-rich and dudley to boot, detroit has a player advantage at every position sans center.

insmgg · 12-13-08, 04:20 PM

Diaw and Bell are both making their debut tonight for the Bobcats. They basically just arrived in Charlotte yesterday. I say take Detroit -1 because the Bobcats will not have cohesion yet with the new lineup. Charlotte also just lost their leading scorer in the trade. I don't think they'll be able to keep up.

Where is the cohesion in the Pistons?

Good stuff! Don't wait until the Pistons finish your entire bankroll before you know who they are.

Broncos9798 · 12-13-08, 05:15 PM

Pistons Minus 1

Forget the past.....Detroit wins the game tonight. Detroit -1 is a great bargain. Charlotte is utter garbage. Detroit wins by 5-8 points. I'm taking this big since the Nuggets line is out of control.

CTS5 · 12-13-08, 05:42 PM

I hate detroit more than anyone here. I'm still taking them -1 tonight. I see that as the best bet on the board despite personal feelings of teams and players. Detroit -1 for a good chunk. Lets get that money.

ManBearPig · 12-13-08, 05:44 PM

ill give them one more chance to atone for last night...this is almost too good not to take a chance on

Spoon · 12-13-08, 05:48 PM

I wish you guys the best. I'm pulling for all of you. The line looks tempting, but I have learned from their last 3 games and got burnt so I'm passing. Cash it fellas!
