On occassion I have thought about starting this "meaningless stats" thread that tracks peculiar stats, streaks, odd numbers, the stat of the night and so on, but thought it would die a slow death. Please keep this one alive by throwing in that odd one when you run across it.

It's obvious that Devean Georges' heckling 0-11 form the field may have been the stat of last night as it was rare and an embarrasment to him. He was out there for 33 mins and kept shooting???

Did anybody noticed that the Pistons had scored exactly 55 points at the half in each of the last three straight games vs the Bobcats, Hawks and Pacers?? In fact in the last two games the 1st and 2nd quarters were identical as the Pistons scored 25 pts and 30 pts in both games... Things that make you go hmm?


Those wondering about Sheed's tech count, he is the league leader with 9 at the break. But he has some company right behind him with a few key Celtics with 8, 7 and 6 techs.

Other than Sheed having the dubious honor of leading the league in techs, the Pistons really have no other players in the top five of any of the major categories. (Someone please find one and keep this thread alive). The Pistons do it with team work and as Buddha or someone pointed out in another thread, the Pistons can win without someone having a monster game point wise as they scored 96 points last night without a single player scoring more than 14.

Team wise the Pistons lead the lead with the least amount of turnovers per game with 11.61

Other odd stats this season, the Pistons are 22-1 when scoring 100 points, but 22-0 and scoring over 100 points...

Also heard the Miami Heat announcer state in that game last week that the Pistons had won 32 straight games when they had at least 24 assists in a game. Well they dished out 30 in that game and have dropped at leasst 24 dimes in 3 of the last four games so I think that streak is up to 36 now. So if the Pistons get 24 assists, put it in the win column.
