Re: At San Antonio October 20th, 8:30PM

I only could listen on the radio, to the SA broadcast thru ESPN.com
Only Tay played among our 4 stars, and he went 1 for 7, not much help. Our starters started the game out bad, and started the 2nd half with an 0-9 effort. Our starters? Stuckey, Flip Murray, Tay, JMAX, Dyess.

Dyess got some jumpers to go down, but only pulled down 1 rebound in his 15 minutes. There were rebounds to be had, Jason Maxiell was pulling down lots, especially offensive boards. To be fair on the rebounding thing though, with Flip Murray in, and Dyess, well, SA never missed a shot hardly, so there were no defensive rebounds to even get.

Hayes played off the bench. Flip Saunders made sure, yet again, that the Pistons never have 5 good defenders in the game. Hayes at least shot well this game.

JMAX played a ton, about 39 minutes, per the announcers as he left the game. Lots of rebounds, and about 14 points or so. JMAX was hitting some outside shots, and getting inside some too.

Samb missed his first 9 shots at least (maybe 11). But he nailed his last 2. And he knocked down four for four at the line.
Stuckey shot a lot, and missed most. But for stretches he was dominating the game by driving inside and getting to the line. This ended on his last such trip in, when he banged knees with a SA player, and left the game after splitting at the line.

Mejia played a bit at the end of the game, did a few things, made a mistake or two.
When Stuckey went out, we were down just 14, still time to win the game. But hey, after that, we had Flip Murray in the game, along with Dupree, and SA, with its scrubs, went on a 17-2 run.

Afflalo scored 20, mostly outside shooting.
Flip Murray had a horrible stretch in this game where he missed shots and turned the ball over. (part of that 0-9 start of the 2nd half.) For the game, he shot very poorly. He did make a couple of outside shots and drove in and made a layup.
