| Re: Detroit at San Antonio - Jan 12th, 2006 I mentioned in chat that Doug Collins said something ive been saying for awhile (and I am paraphrasing here so don’t jump down my throaght if it is not word for word) Chauncey came down and nailed a jumper on the break and Collins says" that is something the pistons are trying to do this year get off quicker shots because their is no sense banging for 82 games it is long season and it puts a lot of strain on your body to play that kind of basketball" Now it could just be me but it is not this guy coached mj grant hill in his prime and other all-star players. His point and mine is if we can win games without standing toe to toe punch for punch with other teams then why should we. We can win games with our execution and with shots not just with our brawn. The pistons may not play the same game that many of you guys fell in love with but they are still winning games. Yes the truest of tests will come in the post season but this team is doing it the easy way right now. I don’t agree with everything flip has done so far but I cant argue with wins right now flip has him team playing record breaking basketball for the franchise best start ever by a pistons team so yes we can sit here and nit pick about how much burn the bench is getting but how do you discredit the results.
