Me too. Finishing this series off early will be crucial. All our players could benefit. At first i was thinking don't want them too rusty, but they are going to need the break.

I concur.

Tay needs to log about 35 mins max in the next game.

Spellcheck time. Nice to see Arvis give us a little something, however little it was.

Let's go wings 11:17 left 2 - 1 lead going on the powerplay.

Definately next game, Lewis seems to still be giving us majopr trouble, will be at home should be a looser rotation. I think Stuck will play better at home, and Max seems to still be in DET anyway.

And the Wings are great. I don't even like hockey, and i'm getting sucked in.

One of the guttier wins for this Piston era. How we won, I don't know. Our younger stars, Tay and Rip, kept us going. Then, our older star, Sheed did damage. Another older star, Dice, rebounded. And then our retiree, Hunter, helped turn the tide. How improbable is some of that??

Too many minutes? I am not going to complain one bit.

No great contribution from the youth? If our stars don't win games for us, we are not going to win many series.

Flip did some coaching like having Maxiel in at the end. Did he do enough on defense? I don't think so. They still scored too easily. But I am not going to complain...

I know. I still don't know how he got to that. Amazing play.

DET's offense is so bad it seems like they're trying not score. Everything they do is labored. How in the world do you end up with Lindsey Hunter in an iso? Conversely, it seemed like Orlando could score any time and any way they wanted early on.

Flip made a good move when he put Sheed on Evans and Rip on Lewis. Orlando went like DET and shut down their whole offense trying to go to Lewis in the post. Aside from some fouls, they got nothing from that.

I still think it is a mistake not playing AA some on Lewis. I would have liked to seen Dixon get some run too. Figuring out how to play Hunter and Dixon though is probably way out of Flip's league at this point.

I never believed it when announcers etc would say that Dyess is the strongest guy on the team. I figured Max might have something to say about that. Not anymore. Good lord.

I thought DET looked pretty bad on their last few possesions, offensively and defensively.

Gee, whiz - Will you lay off the whining? We just won a throwaway game without our starting All-Star point guard and you're complaining? Go soak your head, party-pooper!

Yeah, I agree that while it's peoples perrogative to complain after a game, they should be hard pressed to do so. Pistons won wounded in a hostile environment under pressure. Let's be happy! Who knows what tomorrow will bring, but let's enjoy this.

Getting a split with Billups would have been very good.

Getting one without him is almost beyond belief for me. we have 2 match points now and then Deuce at worst.

Another badass thing Tayshaun did tonight: block the %%%% out of a dunk attempt by Mo Evans. That was ridiculous.

This is where NOT having CB was an advantage. CB woulda thrown up a panic three ball.
