[blazers21ntnp]

7:00 PM EST on The Score, for fellow Canadian viewers.

As an NBA fan, I'm excited to see Iverson on the court in a Pistons jersey... as a Raptors fan, I could do without today.

One of these teams' perfect record will no long exist after todays game, and hopefully it will be the Pistons.

Let's go Raps!

[h1]Billups, Iverson likely to debut for new teams this weekend[/h1]ESPN.com news services
Updated: November 5, 2008, 2:40 PM ET


DENVER -- Chauncey Billups will not make his Denver Nuggets debut on Wednesday night at Golden State.

The Nuggets said Tuesday that Billups didn't have enough time to get to the Bay Area. He was scheduled to take a physical Thursday in Denver to completethe deal.

Allen Iverson is awaiting the results of Billups' physical before being allowedto play for Detroit.

"I'm just ready to go," said Iverson, who has taken a physical. "Hopefully everything gets taken care of ... and I'll be able to geton the court with my team and try to learn these plays as fast as possible."

Iverson will likely make his home debut Sunday night against the defending champion BostonCeltics. Billups will likely play in his first game for the Nuggets on Friday night when they host the Dallas Mavericks.

Denver acquired Billups, a point guard and Denver native, along with AntonioMcDyess and Cheikh Samb from Detroit on Monday in exchange for Iverson.

Billups was in Charlotte with the Pistons when the deal took place.

Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

Tonight we will finally see if our big man can do it with out McDyess for a few games. JO and Bosh are a problem. Hopefully Chuck plays tonight.

 

[jmause3]

Iverson isnt playing tonight, Billups hasn't got his physical

 

[osh kosh bosh]

I ain't scared...

Let's go raps...

 

[dmxgod]

Let's go Pistons!!!! I wanna see AI come off the bench

to b honest with you..

 

[ab doom]

With or without A.I. tonight Pistons by 6

 

[ballinboykz]

This is our toughest test so far this season. As long as we can hang in there, and JO can stay in the game, we have a good shot at winning this game.
Reality check tonight. Hopefully we come out with a good start to the game. We have been either hit or miss in the first few minutes, and that dictates therest of the game.

Lets hope for a good start.

CHEA!

 

[freshsince1982]

Naw, NBA has a rule in place now where you cant change jersey numbers during the season.

 

[brownin187]

Pistons are about to get stomped on.

 

[apollo xxxiii]

Damn, Bosh already w/ the and-one.

 

[DYNAMICS]

Stuckey was going to give the number to him the NBA now has a Merchandising rule when it comes to trades and Jersey Numbers, and where's A.I.? they showedhim entering the ACC but he's not at the end of the bench.
