oh really?

in the 4th quarter, with delfino in the game the pistons only scored 2 points in 5 minutes, 17 seconds. the remaining 6 minutes, 43 seconds the pistons scored 12.

in the 4th quarter, the pistons were outscored 10-2 (5:1 ratio) with delfino in the game, and outscored 19-12 (1.6:1 ratio)without delfino. the pistons had a better +/- without delfino in an extra 1.5 minutes. flip's mistake was not playing arroyo to start the 4th when up 13 points.

that's not to say delfino didn't play excellent defense on wade, because he was phenomenal and that's something positive to take away from this game. but according to the facts and numbers i can claim that if delfino had stayed in the game the entire 4th quarter, we could have LOST by 5-10.
