Take 76ers tonight...

**LChruscial85** · 02-25-11, 01:47 PM

good info...might make a play on it, GL Deuce

**Regul8er** · 02-25-11, 01:53 PM

DANGIT....I liked the Pistons tonight, now need to reconsider.

**oiler** · 02-25-11, 01:54 PM

definetly like the revenge factor for philly tonight

**Regul8er** · 02-25-11, 01:54 PM

I like Philly a lot, and I think Pistons are in shambles.......but 9.5 seems like a lot for this Philly team right now.

Was thinking the exact same thing.

**Regul8er** · 02-25-11, 01:57 PM

Does it really matter that Wallace and Wilcox missed shootaround though.....haha!
A better form of protest would have Big Ben take back to back 20 foot baseline jumpers in the first two possessions!

**Louisvillekid1** · 02-25-11, 02:00 PM

any source to back this info up

See lately this is how the lineup has gone I think...

McGrady
Prince
Monroe
Wilcox
Stuckey

So does it matter, meh, I don't know. I know it brings quite a bit of drama to the squad though. Shambles

Several Pistons miss shootaround in alleged player protest

http://www.mlive.com/pistons/index.ssf/2011/02/several_pistons_missing_from_m.html

Reports by the Detroit Free Press and Detroit News cite an unnamed source who called the absences a "player protest."

ESPN reported it wrong. None the less, still look buried though. Not showing up, showing up late, etc.

**YorkHunt** · 02-25-11, 02:05 PM

gl will tail

**Rod1010** · 02-25-11, 02:06 PM

Thanks deuce . Buried last night. Need more threads like this . Ill tail ...

**donkdown** · 02-25-11, 02:37 PM

Ill stay away just so I dont jinx any of you. If I had every penny back Ive lost on Pistons games over the past 10 yrs Id be in alot better shape in my life. This is one team no matter if I'm on them or against them I can't win!!!

**EDDIE MONEY LINE** · 02-25-11, 03:07 PM

good handicapping deuce...shoot arounds are essential. Come on pal, your better than this

ISnt that a little too much, isnt just letting Wallace touch the ball on the offensive half of the court enough to make a point ??

**cobalt king** · 02-25-11, 03:19 PM

on it deucer

**Regul8er** · 02-25-11, 03:48 PM

The more I think, the more I like the Pistons here. The young guys are still trying to put up numbers and get contracts signed. If the above mentioned don't suit up tonight, then it will give a great opportunity for Monroe, Daye, Stuckey, Bynum, Gordon and Charlie V a chance to step up. This Philly team is solid, but they don't deserve to be double digit favs over anybody.

Ya I know the line is inflated but this team, the Pistons, 5 guys didn't even show to shoot around today.

McGrady
Hamilton
Prince
Wallace
Wilcox

None of them even showed up. Saying it is some form of protest. Team in shambles right now. Team was shit to begin with.

FAIL. I call it now. Most peons here will go out and lose there $25 bets on a Friday nite thinking they had a free chicken dinner fading the Pistons because they have some cancer on there team pouting and protesting. This thread will get big later and everybody calls bullshit. Sounds about right huh?

Do us all a favor and pound the pistons then plz!

**Smoke** · 02-25-11, 04:27 PM

Pistons are my team, I kno them like JJ knows rugs.

Doesn't matter who plays, Joe dumars could suit up and pistons will still cover that inflated number.

**ouman101** · 02-25-11, 04:40 PM

Why is the line not up? How long has it been off?

**twelvejewelz** · 02-25-11, 04:47 PM

up to 11 already. Are all of the pistons starters still playing and starting? I think they really play hard to prove some kind of point if there really pissed at their coach. Anyone have more info on whatever is going on?

**philswin** · 02-25-11, 04:48 PM

Looks like the line was down earlier but most books have it up at 10.5 - 11 - was 9 this morning

**ouman101** · 02-25-11, 04:55 PM

Deuce, fuk these guys....thanks for the info.

**jjgold** · 02-25-11, 06:14 PM

This had to be hit early, you cannot bet now

A number of Pistons players reportedly didn't show up for shootaround as a protest.

**ryanspeer2001** · 02-25-11, 06:21 PM

Duece where did you get your info so early tonight? I didn't hear about til' 5pm est and I'm in philly.

**Pauulzcappin** · 02-25-11, 06:27 PM

Kuster is a fukking idiot. I'd fukking kneecap him if he was my coach, biggest moron in the NBA.

**tony_come** · 02-25-11, 06:28 PM

Not a good game to bet

please stay away

**str8upslik** · 02-25-11, 06:59 PM

the more i look at the game, the more a double digit win by philly makes sense. detroit is terrible, philly has been playing like a team that wants to prove something, it just makes sense that they blow them out at home

**Deuce** · 02-25-11, 07:02 PM

I move lines people.

**Git Lo** · 02-25-11, 07:08 PM

took it at -11, pistons look like they are imploding

**shermanator** · 02-25-11, 07:12 PM

took pistons +11 philly overated

**madrabbit** · 02-25-11, 07:44 PM

good call and the players arent playing so he's right. Why wouldnt they cover theyve been great at home.

Good call deuce. Smash it son. Lets pound these mofo's and collect some cash! I got em in a ml bet with spurs.
