Comments from a Spurs fan;

Also, I'm relieved to see that Flip Saunders is just the same old Flip. Once the going gets tougher, he sits his bench and overplays his starters. Sloan on the other hand brought back Boozer with around 4 minutes left in the game, and he was able to stay with Sheed on the post. Pistons starters looked gassed out there.
Flip being his own self is what reassures me that you guys aren't invincible come playoff time.

Persisting with McDyess and Wallace when (a) Millsap is going ape%%%% and (b) the opposing team's star power forward is getting his rest and waiting in the wings is the real problem. I agree Sloan went with what was working, but Flip persisted with something that wasn't effective, and was almost sure to come back to bite him later in the game.
Even Maxiell came into the game because McDyess picked up his 5th foul. Otherwise I bet you'd have seen more than 34 minutes from Dice.
Face it, this was classic Flip Saunders. This is his instinctive reaction, he would rather play safe than try something unconventional

Isn't that swell? Even other teams fans can see it.
