yes. we sacrificed a little bit of defense for a whole bunch of offense. yes. lindsey somewhat stops other teams guards but he also stops us to a halt also. i'd rather have arroyo stopping the other guard sometime and us scoring on the other end instead of lindsey. truth be told there aren't that many contenders with super quick guards on them. dallas gives us trouble because they are willing to go small and josh howard and daniels give us trouble. chauncey is already our solution to small guards he punishes them. now rip will have to start punishing small guards as teams have caught on to this and put smaller quick guards on rip.

on nights like the first few games of the season when your defense and offense is clicking the pistons are pretty much unstoppable. actually i do think we can run and gun with the other teams. we have a lot of quality offensive players especiallly our second unit. defense wins games but you still have to put up points. in my opinion lindsey only stops 2nd unit inexperienced guards. he's good for spot defense only at this stage of his career.

last night wasn't a normal night. dallas just flat out couldn't miss. they were hitting from inside and from outside. even if our defense was on them they still were hitting the shots. chalk last nights loss up. nothing to worry about.
