OMG it was sheer torture. I was on my feet pacing around talking to the tv for the entire second half. And I just had this absolutely sickening feeling that we will be seeing exactly this in a pivotal game in the playoffs. I am just heartsick about it.

I don't see how Flip can change. I mean for him to panic like this and make such poor decisions trying desperately to win a game that still means nothing to us in the long run. Utah isn't going to the Finals. What a total idiot he is. How can the team trust him when this is the way he responds to pressure?

I am both distraught and furious. I hope he can get his act together enough so that we can at least see some more fantastic intelligent basketball games and wins from our Pistons (starters and bench). I'm pretty much writing off the playoffs, extreme as it might sound. I don't have the heart for it. We are really hitting our stride with a very strong team and to watch him trash them out of his stubborn insecurity. Too tired to play D and too tired to make jumpshots. Where have I seen that before?
