Well Pistons play down to the competition and have to hold on an eek out a 3 pt victory over the supposedly over matched Sonics. Pistons defense didn't arrived from LA until the second qtr as the Sonice put up 41 in the first qtr, but then fail flat with only 13 in the second. I think I may have either said it in chat or thought that if the Pistons could keep them under 100, they could win this one.

The Pistons tried their darndest but could barely contain Wilcox and Watson in the first qtr and Rip ran out of gas trying to contain Durrant in crunch time. The Sonics so called big three combined for 63 points and their other first round pick Rookie Jeff Green also chipped in with 15 ponts. PJ is probably missing one vet that would make them respectable, but he refuses to get choked into taking Latrell Sprewell

Sheed and Dice were no shows and hopefully with their limited minutes they will be fresh tomorrow. AJ and Mx filled in great for them tonight. We needed every one of the points provided by Cb and Tay as Rip was way off especially in the second qtr when he decided he was going singlehandedly bring us back from the 13 point deficit. He missed about 5 shots in a row at one point not even thinking about passing off to an open TEAMmate....

Pistons got the 100pts for the automatic W and will need at least 95 for a W tomorrow vs the C's...
