First game I've had a chance to watch this season. Kurt Thomas seems to like playing against Detroit.

Great first half and lousy second for the Pistons. I knew they'd cool off but geez, quit taking J's.

Looks like the same 'ol crappy jump-shooting offense to me. Saunders sure is an offensive genuis.

Timid Tay passed up too many opportunities late in the game, I felt. When he's on that flat, he needs to take it to the hole. He does not know how to take charge of a game when it counts. He defers too much to the guards.

Liked Hayes' contribution A LOT. What a huge upgrade over Delfino, so far.

Flip Jr. still sucks. Took it to the hole once. His only highlight. He makes horrible decisions at the point, as many before me have astutely pointed out. He does not play within the offense. Can't wait for Stuckey to get back. Seeing Murray in that late in the 4th quarter is unnerving.

McDyess was very active tonight on the boards.

I don't think this team gets to the Finals with this jump-shooting offense. They'll be boring to watch if this continues. I liked how they pushed in the first half. I realize you can't do that the whole game, but you need to mix it in.
