Even if Barnes plays, maybe Victor would be pissed off enough to want to kick their asses. Didn't Barnes hit the game winner in one of those All-Star games against Victor's team?

He shouldn't need any extra motivation tbh

So that means they're 11-6 when they're not favorites. Not bad considering most of those more than likely took place on the road.

Defense wins championship. Obviously the league is much different today with the rules and the way people play, but still the Spurs always won championships with defense.

Pistons host OKC tonight. Need DET to rebound and win this one at home tbh. Would be nice if the Celtics could beat Denver on the road too.

I was looking at that last night myself and of course you pencil it in as a loss for OKC. Pistons better do their job tonight. They have to be motivated and angry.

High potential for a letdown here after a big win and all the praise they've received in the media and the NBA podcast sphere the morning after. Make no mistake our guys do scroll down their socials.. So, hopefully the players are motivated to complete their first 10-game winning and maybe sweep the RRT. It's is why staying within reach of OKC is beneficial in that regard.

motivation to go undefeated for feb should help. Only two more to go with this being the big hurdle

If the Pistons can't beat OKC coming off a b2b without 6 of their best players, they should have the 1 seed stripped away tbh.

why didnt we repeat in 2015 again ? Tim's knees ?

Thunder-Pistons tonight too. Hopefully Pistons take out their aggression on OKC and Chet to help us out in the standings.

CP3 sonned us tbh

Duncan was plenty healthy. Can't remember which game it was but there was one we won in OT where Duncan was scoring at will over Deandre Jordan over and over and over again

Don't forget that the supposed franchise player nephew shot 5-16, 3-15 and 5-13 in the final three games of that series.
