Score: Pistons win, 96.5-92.5
What to watch
- Greg Monroe is now officially averaging a double-double, as his rebounding average hit 10.0 per game after Wednesday’s win over NJ
- The Pistons didn’t win four games in a row last year. They won three in a row twice. The Nets at home to win four straight is about as good as you can ask for if your goal is a winning streak. The Pistons last won four straight in December 2009 (they actually won five straight in that streak).
- Via Matt Watson, you might want to buy this t-shirt.
- Um … I think Need4Sheed’s Natalie Sitto might be ready for Star Wars Night.

Any way we can adjust our schedule the rest of the way for a continuous loop of OKC, LAC, Chi, Den, and Mia until we get to 66? Maybe throw in a Minnesota game every once in a while so I can watch me some Rubio?

That pretty much describes the first month of the season – except for games against Cleveland and Charlotte. Washington tomorrow, extended winning streak?

If we keep the rotation the way it is, I can see us winning more games and losing close ones instead of getting blown out every other game. Maxiell is blocking shots, Monroe gets to the lane (AND 1!!!) and Stuckey is getting buckets. Good effort all around.

I dont care about draft position. I enjoy watching this version of the Pistons much more.
