Believe it or not the Pistons had a chance to tie the game with 7.6 seconds left, but Sheed who had hit 4 straight 3 balls missed a 3 ball attempt from the right. ( He is better when he shoots them from the top of the circle IMO)

The Pistons were down by as many as 21 or so points, but Billups kept then within shouting difference scoring at will in the third....unfortunately our defense didn't come alive until the 4th qtr and we proably needed 3 more mins to pull this one out.

To many TO's and missed shots by our front court in the first half spelled doom and the bench was once again a no show collectively, but Amir did play well down the stretch with the starters and only a missed contested dunk blemishing his +13.

Stuckey had four assists but was 0-5 form the field forcing layups that could not find the hoop. Not sure what the deal is with Rip...8 shots tonight and only 6 last night..I thought he was our leading scorer??

The real problem since the break is our defense. back to back nights of giving up 103 points...including giving up 80+ at the end of the third in both?? Can't win many games giving 100 points.

Meaningless stats of the night
Pistons now 6-9 when allowing the opponent to score over 100 points
This is the first loss this season to a divsional foe other than the Bulls. We were 7-0 vs the Cavs, Pacers and Bucs
Took Pistons 3 losses to get to 30 wins, so maybe it takes 3 losses before they can notch # 40
