This is one game where I think Flip really didn't play to his strengths... he made a few mental errors....
He didn't foul Stoudamire to prevent the 3 (2nd guessed himself)
He used Ben on Gasol instead of Sheed (worth the foul out risk)
He didn't insist on posting Rip on Stoudamire and getting Sheed down low on a clear mismatch.
I just thought we could have made this game a lot easier than it was and saved the legs for Portland.

Now for a little Crow stew...Y'all know I've been tough on Delfino (lack of "D")... but he really moved his feet well in this game... that's what has been lacking (not the offense)... I really hope this continues so that our search for a backup SF ends... you can see the confidence growing and as long as he understands the importance of staying in front of your man the job is his.... Nice job C.D.... I might buy him a playstation for X-Mas.

Now if we could get Lee to admit that not all of the Piston mistakes relate to Evans.
