Losing by 37 Points is never what you go into the game thinking/wishing will happen. But, when thinking about it, in some ways it's not a bad way to lose. Had the Pistons broke the streak against Dallas, only losing by say, 2 points..they may feel like they should have won the game, and in this weeks game be sleeping walking just like they did Friday night.

Getting beat by 37 points is the only wakeup call you need though, or at least it should be. You don't need to drop 2-3 in a row to get the real effect of losing into your brain, when you get beat that bad. I expect a nice bounce back game on Tuesday night at the Palace. This would be a nice time for Dice to show up as well. The bench can only go as far as he takes them.

The Cavaliers are right on the Pistons heels for the Central title, and are showing no signs of slowing down. Only a game back now, the Pistons must continue winning games.
