Billups played great in the 1st quarter scoring 14 points and dishing out 4 assists.

Ca took over in the second and got people involved he had a beautiful outlet pass to rip from about ¾court and in general just played smart. I did not really see any of the over dribbling that people complain about.

A glaring weakness of Mo Evans on Wade was exploited by Miami every chance they could get Shaq was on the bench so you gotta know they are going to attack with Wade and Mo just could not even come close to playing d on him. On back to back possessions he sank a jumper in Mo’s face.

We got out rebounded 18 to 17 Miami’s fg% was 50% to the Pistons 48% the only thing that helped keep this one close was us hitting 50% from 3 point land and us shooting 8 for 10 for free throws.

With Shaq sitting a large part of the 2nd quarter we never saw DD or Darko out on the court after Flip saying both would get pt to help slow down the diesel.

2nd half expect more of Billups than Arroyo if it is a tight game and maybe a Delfino sighting over Mo (who am I kidding on this 1) for guarding Wade while Tay gets a rest.
