REBOUNDS!!! That's what i've been talking about for the past 5 games. Got outrebound by more than half??? That's not DETROIT BASKETBALL!!! Flip has a big problem. Maybe it is due to the zone defense he is trying to implement to the team. If it is and it did not work (for 5 straight games) and got embarassed last nite, just let the boys play DEFENSE they way they were playing for the past few years, for heaven sake.

As for Big Ben, if he is really bothered by his knee and ankle, maybe he need some rest. And rest, I mean, take a few games off. Dale Davis can start in his place, Dyess coming off the bench as usual, and Darko to get his minutes and show us what he can do. If he still fail to perform, TRADE HIM!!!

This is the time where Flip should play the bench more and rest the starters if they are really injured. We do not want Ben to have a long term injury.
