Re: Boston at Detroit... January 16th

Really impressed by Delfino's scrappiness on Pierce. The jump ball two handed block was very nice, and I liked that he kept challenging his man and playing physical. The jumpers are just icing on the cake for me.

Interesting pre-half unit of Billups, Evans, Delfino, Dice and Rasheed. Today just shows that Evans and Delfino can play at the same time if the right mix of players are around them. Without Rip, CB had to look for other players to get involved.

Not only is Sheed averaging a career high in 3P%, he's also making almost 2 threes per game. His previous best was 1.5 three's per game in 2003.

As scary as it sounds, right now Sheed's probably playing as well as he did in his All-Star seasons. After a slow start, he's in the top 20 for total blocks in the league. 16 straight games with a block. Amazing.

Today was vintage Sheed. 9 boards, 23 points, 9-12 shooting, 3-6 from three, 3 assists, 1 block, 1 steal and here's the best line...

2nd most minutes played by a Piston today.
