I think this is right on the money. Rip is my favorite Piston and I really have been missing these kind of moves I was used to seeing him make. I hope he hasn't forgotten how to do it, just that he is rusty with it and that the rust can be sanded off before the next game. His shooting woes are more cause for concern for me. Playing tight? Fatigue?
The return of TEAM DETROIT BASKETBALL is a glorious sight! What a beautiful thing to watch a team deny in so many different ways! I could watch our defense lock down all day and all night and never get bored. Matter a fact, time for me to rewind the tape and watch again!
