OTHER PERSPECTIVES: Piston Powered

PREVIOUSLY, THE DETROIT PISTONS...beat a weakened (no Thad Young, Jason Smith playing more minutes than Elton Brand and Samuel Dalembert combined, etc.) 76ers team 124-103 in Philadelphia last night to snap an eleven-game losing streak.

The Hawks have won two fo three from the Pistons so far this season. The home team has won each game. The Pistons won 94-88 on November 29th in the previous meeting in Detroit. The Hawks won 112-99 on March 13th and 91-85 on Saturday in Atlanta.

Consider this an open thread for all pre-game, in-game, and post-game (but pre-recap) thoughts.
