Re: At Utah Feb. 27th, 9:00 PM

what a schizophrenic game- Pistons dominated in the first half and played like the next champion. Very good positioning on defense, good line- ups by the coach, RIP went red- hot and CB dominated Williams.

Then the Jazz rallied from a 12 point (?) deficit in the third quarter. Millsap killed us during that run. I was waiting for the time out but it simply did not happen. Imho, Flip showed once again that he really has troubles with adjustments- he simply let the unit in while hoping the Jazz- run would end somehow. Sometimes it simply takes a timeout without even saying alot to end a run. Pistons got charget for alot of offensive fouls and I think these where correct calls. Stuckey is pretty quick, but he still needs to get more body control. Sheed is having trouble if the team relies solely on him in the post. When he posts at times, it's ok, but when he's forced to do something in the post, while the others stand around, he fails. Same for RIP, who had a very bad shot selection at times.
Still, I see some positive things- team will learn from losses like that one (why can't we beat Utah, by the way???) or at least I hope so.
And JMax was perfect from the lane.
