Now that was impressive. And the sort of game these guys have just given up on in the past. You got to love Hayes - just comes in and shoots the ball when the starters begin to look shell-shocked, when no one else seems to want a shot. The whole game turned when he hit a couple of jumpers.

Not sure if this is right or not...

Ben was a rebounding machine. And too many times the other Pistons sat back and got out of his way, maybe because they thought they were supposed to, who knows. Without Ben the rest of the team is finally coming around and starting to rebound as a unit. Seems like the same thing is happening in NO with Chandler. Everyone is getting out of the way and letting him go for all the boards, and when he's out, or when he gets blocked out, it all goes pear shaped. One big guy doing all the dirty work can get you a long ways, even to a championship, but I really like it when rebounding is the responsibility of the whole team.
