Anyone else catch Rasheed’s post game comments tonight? When asked by Fox Sport’s Trevor Thompson about the impending matchup with King James, Ben Wallace and the Cavs Rasheed replied, in classic Rasheed fashion:
“I don’t know if there’s a king, that’s something ya’ll labeled him”
Although Wallace isn’t going to concede LeBron as NBA royalty, he did say he’s one of the league’s “better players”.
The Pistons (48-18) will be hosting the Denver Nuggets (40-26) Tip off is 7:30 pm est from the Palace of Auburn Hills and will be televised locally on Fox Sports Detroit
Nuggets’ Snapshot
Road record: 12-19
Vs. East: 17-9
Last game: 3/16 (Sun) W 116-168 Vs. Sonics
Last 10: 7-3
Last game: Feb. 25th - Pistons (98) @ Nuggets (93)
The Pistons for a long time now have hung their hat on their ability to defend and keep their opponents scores below 100, well that’ll be tested tonight when the Denver Nuggets play the Palace. The Nuggs went bonkers on Sunday scoring 168 points against the Sonics, the 4th most points ever by a team in regulation. Despite it being against lowly Seattle it’s still impressive. And, it’s not like it was Carmelo or A.I. just going off either. Eight Nuggets were in double figures with no one totaling more than 26. They shot 60% from the field, which includes 51% from beyond the big boy line.
Denver is pretty much being forced to play Nuggets to the wall bball as they currently are on the outside looking in at in the West’s super tight playoff race. Every game is like a playoff game.
The odds makers have our Pistons as a 6 point favorite. The Nuggets have not won at the Palace since 1995.
