I'm penciling in Chris Paul as the second coming of Allen Iverson. He is fun to watch, and might just have the same kind of heart.

Otherwise, a bit of a weird game. It just didn't look right without Sheed coming in and it's hard to imagine how weird it must have felt to the team. Some of 'em have never seen a Pistons game with any other starters.

Double D started out like a train wreck but settled down a bit as things went on. I'm not at all sure how he got credited with only two turnovers though. Rip got shoved around some early, knocked down a couple of times, and pretty much just decided to join Sheed and take the night off. Only 29 minutes should have him well rested for tomorrow night though. Very nice game from Delk.

Dice just wears NOK out and CB shoots poorly, but gets to the line about every twelve seconds.

Bring on the Heat and Magic and let's get the regular season thing over with.
