Another ugly win to a cellar dweller in a game that should not have been this close. We should not be giving up 100 pts to the Knicks and Bobcats on consecutive nights. If the Bobcats can score 62 points in the paint tonight, how do we expect to stop and beat the Heat next Wednesday who lead the league in both FG% and paint scoring.

We may have got a break here as Bernie B, kept hot shooting Brezec on the bench most of the 4th qtr. He and Voskuhl were a combined 19-25 from the field for 38 points and FB played only 24 mins and JV 12.

Still we need to be concerned about the 14 offensive boards they got and the 62 points in the paint. Where is our interior prescence and our patented DEFENSE? Yeah we shot 57%, but we gave up 50%+ shooting for the second straight game. If not for the key threes down the stretch, we may have lost this game too. A twelve point lead with six minutes left was almost blown here.

Need to grab back those two stolen wins from the Hawks and Heat next week so please Pistons look at the tapes these next two days and get the defense in gear!!
