Pistons win! now that was a fun game. Here are my "Q"lights:
1. Sheed was vintage as he went west coast on a brutha in the 1st qtr. Hawks broadcast had excelelnt highlights of sheed's only game in a Hawk uniform from 04.
2. I would trade Atlanta's play by play guy for Blaha ANY time. He doesnt overpump his young team and really sounds like he likes the Pistons. we know my former Eastside buddy Steve Smith does.
3. If you could combine Tay's demeanor with Josh smith's skills, you'd have one helluva player. Josh smith has the brains of yogi Bear.
4. Amir smoked the second quarter and would have dominated in the 4th. Flip HAS to have some kind of brain deficiency or something. Amir had an offensive rebound putback where he leaped, caught with two hands and layed it in with one that was so pretttty. Damn!
5. Hawks came back because Woodson is a GREAT coach. Piston DNA.
6. Where are all the Acie Law, the 4th peeps at!!???
7. 25 ct put on a show that was so good, chauncey was able to dominate the 4th qtr. I just hope Flip was watching. Steve Smith said stuckey remind him of Joe D and that when Joe was scouting him , Joe said "Hey...that's me!"
Then smith said Cent doesnt have dumars' "stroke' yet, but he looked pretty on an open j later on.
8. I love how sheed kept himself in the game after his tech. If he does that in cleveland last year, he'd have another ship right now.
9. Nice 4th qtr tease by the Hawks and my wife liked how "I was just sitting there' as Hawks took the lead. my response? "Puh-thehell-leeeze!"
10. Atlanta fans showed Pistons their usual love. great reaction to Billups' j's in the 4th. Mr Bigshot yay-es!
The Good- Sheed in the 1st, Amir in the 2nd, Cent with the Krazze left hand shooting and BigShot late
The Bad- AA made three awful decisions, Flip not playing Amir in the 4th, JMax regressing to last year.
But it was funnnn........
