Random thoughts after watching the game...

- I hate the fact that Sheed only shows up for about 8 minutes a game.
- Why in the hell is Primoz Brezec still on this team? Doesn't Joe know that if he keeps a bad player on the roster, Flip is bound to play them? No way in hell should he be out there in any situation over AJ (whose days in detroit are numbered). Why can't Joe force Amir over Brezec/Herrmann like he did for Stuckey?
- Jarvis Hayes.... ugh. If you're gonna brick shots, at least only take good shots. Nothing is worse than forcing it time and time again when you're not hitting. Does Flip encourage that crap? And defensively, he is a nightmare. The "in-your-face" style of D only works when you can actually react when the offensive player makes his move.
- It was nice to see a glimpse of the real Rodney Stuckey. For 2 or 3 possessions in the 4th, Flip actually allowed him to attack off pick-and-rolls. He looked damn good doing it. Getting into the lane with ease for a wide-open layup, and getting Max another wide-open layup (which he missed). Doesn't Flip see that every time he goes to isolation basketball with the bench in the game they fall apart? Most coaches would have picked up on this after 2 stints, but Flip just insists on pounding that flex offense into them. His "system" is bigger than his players apparently.
- Tayshaun was good, but it was all jumpers.
- Max was a beast, and should have been in the game throughout the 4th. Dice wasn't playing a whole lot of defense, and we don't need another guy out there building a wall of bricks from 20 feet.
